The Collective
Issues #16-20 - Following the events that have took place in the House Of M series we know that all but a few hundred mutants have lost their powers. But where did all those powers go? The New Avengers are about to find out as an explosion occurs in a small town in Alaska. S.H.I.E.L.D. satellites get an image of what cause the explosion and it appears to be a human who looks like they are on fire. This massive force of energy is moving at alarming rates as it speeds through Canada killing the Alpha Flight team. The Avengers go to confront this unknown threat and eventually Sentry shows up and takes the fight in to space. We find out this is a collective of all the mutant powers lost on M-Day.
The Collective's destination is Genosha where currently Magneto was writing a diary when the Collective shows up and Magnetos powers are returned to him. The Avengers figure out a way to overcome the Collective and Magneto but Magneto escapes as he was being transported in a helicopter when all of a sudden it blows up and he's no where to be found.
A solid issue which also guest stars Ms Marvel. I'm wondering why Ronin was on the cover when she didn't make an appearance at all. Otherwise the art was nice and the story wasn't bad. It helped answer some questions concerning the House Of M. WIll more mutants be getting their powers back now and what is to come for Magneto?
