    I want to help you

    Some say that this series thus far has been focusing too much on Steve Rogers and not enough on the other characters.  This can however go both ways as here where the emphasis shifts to Beast the story is at times kind of dissolute and not very well conceived.  A group of armoured soldiers are attacking Washington DC but Beast is drawn into the house of congress to meet with an old friend.  In so doing there is a bit of a retelling of his friends background, but there is also a heavy use of other plot devices which I am not so fond of - mutants with inexplicable powers, statues coming to life.  The low point of the issue is when the friend is reciting the Gettysburg Address over television, which felt very much like filler and in my opinion didn't very well fit in the context of the story.  That it was a voice over of action sequences on panel made its placement even less logical.  The story still wrapped itself in a decent manner in the end, but getting there was not such a fun ride.

      ABRAHAM LINCOLN STATUE SMASH BAD NAZI ROBOTS!!!! 0

      This is in fact, not only the best fear itself itself tie-ins and the best and most awesome issue of this series!!! (screw the main team!! even if bendis is the one responsible for that) The armies of the new red skull are invading Washington and to help on the defense, members of the secret avengers: beast, war machine (aka iron man 2.0) and ant-man are sent to support as we see a great battle that seems hopeless as it goes, three heroes as awesome as they are can't alone defeat these enemies....
