Ashes to ashes
There is not much to say about an issue like this one. Some story arcs build up to some deeper meaning and some build up to a big brawl, and this is the latter. That having been said the brawl was pretty fun with good matchups, fun dialogue and good pacing. What plot there is basically comes down to the Secret Avengers launching a surprise attack on the Shadow Council while Fu Manchu is nearly completed the ritual to regain full strength (which involves in part the death of Shang Chi.) Pretty much the outcome that could be expected occurs with the Avengers mostly coming off as victors. It was a pretty fun issue overall, not much depth as already stated but then there doesn't always need to be. It was a good end to the second story arc of the series after the first one fell a little flat.
