Dark Reign: The List - Avengers REVIEWED

G-Man looks over Norman Osborn's List.

Norman Osborn is getting ticked off.  He's trying to enjoy all his power but there's some kinks getting in the way.   I'm not sure if he actually thought everyone would be on board with him.  We know that Clint Barton has been pretty angry over this whole situation.  He's usually one to stand up for what he believes in but it almost seems a bit extreme when it comes to Norman.  I don't recall Clint ever having an run in with the Green Goblin.  If Clint is determined to try to kill Norman, will anyone join him?
 
  
I'm not extremely crazy over the idea of these separate one-shots.  It almost seems as if this story could take place in the pages of New Avengers.  I suppose since we're going to see other "The List" titles, this makes some sort of sense.  As a Hawkeye/Clint Barton fan, I loved seeing him take the center stage.  As I mentioned, this does seem a bit extreme for Clint.  I guess he's been through a lot lately.  Since it's written by Brian Bendis, you know that it's not just a one shot trying to cash in on Dark Reign.  I also have to say that Marko Djurdjevic's pencils are pretty amazing.  He really captures the anger on Clint's face.  
 
There's some big things going on here.  You saw that Utopia is shown here.  This title is following the events of other books closely.  The things that happen here are clearly going to have an impact on New Avengers and Dark Avengers.
