    Norman will finally address the accusations that Clint made on live television.  We also see Sentry return after seemingly getting killed.  How does this issue rate?

      


    Do you think the public will buy Norman's "speech"?  Is Bullseye going to just forget about what Ares did to him?  Is Norman really into religion?  Don't you just dig that cover?

    What I think is really ass-kicking is the Idea of Norman osborn using propaganda to get the total control. But I don't think the people will buy this "I don't have to reveal the secret identitys of my team"-thing. We will see. ^^

    That picture reminds me of the Thunderbolts issue were Norman is sitting alone in the bathroom with the Green Goblin mask on...that picture made me laugh.

    Best review yet!   Moonstone is just into meaningless sex, so I doubt she and Noh-Varr are gonna go far.

    Agreed, G-Man.  The end was really "wtf worthy"...As a huge Bullseye fan, I've gotta say I'm really interested to see if they develop more on the conflict within the team...Because right now, Bullseye has a grudge with Ares and Gargan.  I feel like they covered Norman's TV address for WAYYYY too long...Could have had the same effect in 2 or so pages...It just felt like it went on and on and on and on and on *yawn*.  The epic music during Ares speech was rofl worthy, btw.

    I enjoyed the Bi*ch Slap very much so in this issue and  I liked how moonstone has a huge picture of herself over her bead, random ending though

    This was a great issue. But I feel bad for Noh-Var fans. He still seems a bit brainless. You can't tell me he couldn't put 2 and 2 together about some of his team mates. Bendis still needs to flesh out his personality.

    Judging from the group that appears on the final page. The next issue should tie up some loose ends from Civil war : Frontline.

    I really enjoyed this issue.  I loved the overall layout of the pictures and dialogue.  The character of Noh-Varr seems to be the one character that Bendis hasn't really touched base on fully.  And now that there's this whole deal with him and Moonstone, we may just have started to get into him -- as well as Moonstone -- a little more in depth.

    The first few issues I think may have been just to get Dr. Doom out of the way from the next little bit.  I like the direction heading into the "Utopia" storyline.  DAs has definitely been a pleasant surprise this year for sure.

    How does Karla go from, "my record is sealed i don't want to talk about my past,"  to telling Noh Varr, "like OMG we're all criminals, like you right? so radical"


    I did like how Norman spun the Clint Barton/Wanda Maximoff/Pietro Maximoff thing.

    It helped that I was the only one in the office and could give the speech some oomph and not have to worry about getting strange looks while I was half yelling in my office.  Then again, I get those looks occasionally even when I'm not half yelling.

    there's no luck involved, Karla just magically became stupid and slutty.
