razzatazz's Secret Avengers #17 - Beast Box review

    I will accept damaged

    The past two issues of Secret Avengers have taking a bit of a different creative direction.  In an era of ongoing story arcs or character developments, these past two issues have taken the route of a one-shot, featuring self contained stories.  At the expense of character development the story therefore depends on an interesting plot and action, and for the second straight issue this gamble pays off with an entertaining issue.  Here a toned down team including only Steve, Sharon, War Machine and Valkyrie travel to Serbia to fight a fight no one else is interested in.  This soon turns into a fairly entertaining chase scene.  The issue's wrapup is pretty fast, but it sort of needs to be here.  All things considered this was a fun issue, not really memorable, but held together relatively well.

      Review for Secret Avengers #17.The Story: Some sort of truck driver is terrorising a part of Serbia and Steve and his must stop him.The Good: Like last time Ellis give us a simple premise that gives him space for another high end action issue.The banter between the characters seems very organic and Ellis is doing the smart thing by having four members for each issue because he can focus some more. This issue goes at a very high speed rate because this is one insane vehicule chase. The reveal at ...
