Bendis understands how to best utilize a character and their power set. The action is plentiful and the conflicts are juggled well. You get to see so many big heroes battling with even more bad guys over very high stakes. But for those of you who are fairly well versed in the Marvel universe prior to and during this run this book will likely pay off for you. You need to know a ton of characters, side plots, comic events, and back story for it to make any sense. This run only gets more complicated and more layered as it goes along. There is no shortage of entertainment in these panels. New Avengers (2004-2010) will keep you busy and keep you turning the pages for all 64 issues. You’re likely to find one of your favorite characters as well as plenty of new ones. However, if you’ve already read a lot of Marvel this New Avengers run will be a treat. If you are not a huge Marvel nerd already, Civil War is a much better place to start. The Luke Cage tie in present in this run of New Avengers could win over even the staunchest Marvel opponents, it’s art. I also got a reminder of just how freaking good Civil War is. I’m also super biased but this run contains two of my favorite Marvel characters of all time, Echo and Elektra. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying learning about Jessica Drew, aka Spiderwoman, a character that I was barely familiar with prior to this run. Everything seems to come back around in time and all of the characters have a reason to be here.
Somehow Bendis manages to keep track of dozens of characters and conflicts without losing site of what the end goal is. I particularly like the details revolving around Luke Cage and Jessica Jones’ relationship. Plenty of action but also a lot of emotion and conflict that isn’t just violent.
It’s got big heroes facing up against even bigger villains. If you’re a huge nerd like me who read all of Civil War including all side books and read House of M then this book will be awesome for you. There is a lot going on and it doesn’t take the time to walk you through it. Issues 1-31 contain tie ins to Civil War and House of M and it is imperative that you are at least somewhat familiar with these events for this book to make even a little sense. I wasn’t sure how I wanted to break up the reviews so I basically just found a good cliffhanger at about the halfway spot and planted my flag there.
