    New Avengers still rocks

    I was a little bit worried on hearing the news that Stuart Immonen was off the art duties on New Avengers beginning with this issue, but after reading it I needn't have worried. New Avengers doesn't miss a beat, and I think it's mostly due to Bendis being on fire right now with his Avengers titles. This is a fill-in issue in between story arcs and it's still hilarious and action packed, just like the issues before it. Basically, Power Man and Jessica Jones go on a date. Or try to. And Luke Cage has an ulterior motive to it all, which plays out to great comedic effect! I know some people don't like Daniel Acuna's art, but after seeing his work on Black Widow I totally love it, and I think it's great here too - Luke looks great, and the action is punchy and dynamic. Great issue.

Jess is still looking to see who she is and where her life is taking her. All new things are being thrown her way and she still has not gotten to be honest with herself to see who she is. Dawning a super hero persona again is d...
