AVENGERS STANDOFF ASSAULT ON PLEASANT HILL ALPHA #1

(W) Nick Spencer (A/CA) Jesus Saiz

Pleasant Hill looks like the perfect small-town community -- but underneath the surface, a deadly secret lurks. One so explosive it will draw estranged allies Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson back together to save a friend in danger and put things right. But when the combined might of the Captain Americas isn't enough, whom do they call? In the face of unspeakable evil, it's time for the Avengers to Assemble like never before! The blockbuster spring AVENGERS event starts right here!

Love the last panel reminding readers that even Shield agents are just people for the most part.

I actually kind of don't like that, but different strokes

You are right!

I'm not familiar with this artist have they appeared on anything else before

Has SHIELD ever been the good guys? I swear Jesus could run this agency and they'd still have black opps all over the place.

I smell something unpleasant on pleasant hill.

Definitely checking this out. The first issue ended up being a Pleasant surprise. Interested to see how this plays out.

I'll read anything with Bucky.

HAHAHAHA I KNOW RIGHT!?? SHIELD IS ALWAYS UP TO SOMETHING.

Yea, but Cap is in charge right now. I'd at least expect him to try and keep and lid on the more evil stuff. Then again if they are setting up for civil war again having SHIELD be the thugs they were for the first one is probably part of it.

Not again...please...

Well it looks like Carol Danvers and not Tony Stark is set to be the main villain this time out. But it just isn't marvel if the heroes go more than a year or two without fighting each other.

Quicksilver's costume just...looks so bad.

It's kind of unprofessional.

Is that a female sandman on the left of the second image?

When did I miss that?

An off chance is that it could be the X-Man Dust, though she looks have been changed a bit if thats who it is.

Hmmm, and looking again, the girl with the purple spiked outfit looks like she swinging a particularly fvmiliar hammer
