New Avengers #10

I have never thought that I would see something that’s just as tasteless, uncreative, and absolutely degrading as the Siege storyline, until I decided to give this issue try.

The New Avengers #10 takes you to two different stories and two different timelines that failed to give any connection towards each other. From beginning to end you’re practically thrown back and forth because of both the writer and the multiple team or artists. Now, I can safely say that the best part of this issue is how it’s sitting on an awesome idea that would’ve created another highlighted series within Marvel. But sadly, it didn’t seem to produce as well as everybody first thought when glancing at the cover of this issue. It’s even sad as to how we were introduced to teams that consisted a unique cast such as Parkers Thunderbolts, the Dark Avengers, and the Secret Avengers, but with this promising team of the 1959 Avengers clearly had potential of having comics being sold out on the first day and…. It the team fell flat onto its face.

There’s multiple reasons as to how this issue failed, starting with the artwork. Probably the biggest question I have, is exactly who came up with the idea of having two artists, who have two different styles, that are absolutely the opposite from each other be in the same comic?

It’s a fact that this issue alone threw you back and forth between Deadato’s dynamic artwork, to Chaykin’s choppy, blockish, soft colored style that shows me he's really out of place and in the wrong comic. Another thing that I noticed, is how the artist seems to never catch on with the writer.

But that’s what I should expect from Michael Bendis.

If I only knew that this issue was written by Bendis and the fact that I wasn’t suckered by Deadato’s badass cover.

It’s simple, I hate Bendis more than anything, I hate him because the only thing that he’s capable of doing is either ruining or destroying something. Man hardly produces anything creative, and he can’t invent anything new within his storytelling without utterly ruining somebody else’s beautiful idea or absolutely losing an audience with his blended storytelling.

Without wasting my time, I’ll make this brief, Bendis gives you his poor display of his idea of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (the movie version). Sitting on a good idea like I first mentioned, he’s either too stupid to see it like everybody else first saw on the cover when buying this issue or that he’s an arrogant ass that makes him to be the worst team player with other artists. But seeing Kraven being so dependent with a rifle has actually supported all my prior rantings that Bendis is one lazy ass writer who couldn’t do any research before receiving that fatass paycheck of his.

The one star rating is only for Daedato, the only person who shouldn’t be involved within this issue and how he managed to give more of a defining look and meaning for this new team of the 1959 Avengers than the writer did with his badass cover art.
