Secret Avengers #12

matkrenz's Secret Avengers #12 - The Trouble With John Steele - Part 2 of 2 review

Improving WWII.

Issue #12 of Secret Avengers.

 

The Story: Steve,Beast and Prince of Orphans (PoO,don't laugh) take out John and put him back into the machine to see what he happened in WWII.

 

The Good: I like to imagine that each writer has there playground and for Brubaker it's Marvel WWII because he's adding the Shadow Council to it.They are kinda helping the Nazis with some magic.Ive been digging John Steele here on Secret Avengers,he has an interesting backstory and what the Shadow Council wants to do with him it's interesting.All the fights in this issue are good.Also I still think that the art is very fitting.

 

The Bad: I just taught that Steve,Beast,PoO (don't laugh) defeating John is a bit to easy.Also Steve and PoO fights against the giant bug felt forced.

 

The Verdict: This is a good end to this 2 issue arc in wich we do learn more about John Steele and the art I like very much.This is a buy and goodbye Ed Brubaker.

I really didn't like the Shadow Council stuff at first, but it's grown on me, a little too muc...

After introducing the concept the previous issue, the story here goes right back into the same world within a world concept.  After subduing John (with some clever thinking on Hank's part) the heroes figure out pretty much what has happened, and mostly by taking a different approach.  It is kind of a fun story, if not very inspiring - a Nazi castle with mythological creatures and a secret cult inside.  The part of the story with Steve and the Prince is a bit distracting as the main action, but e...
