The New Avengers # 31 - Revolution, Part 5

This series does not let you down. We are still in the same fight from the last few issues. It's hard to believe that Bendis and Yu can keep filling these issues with content. Each week, this is usually the first comic I read.

I love the team's dynamics. We still have this unlikely team that just works so well together. And now with the addition of "Ronin," it's just that much better. It will be interesting, as Spider-Man noted, to see how he and Ronin will compete with each other. How long until either Wolverine or Cage tries putting a stop to their banter? Also, I've said it before, Wolverine's protrayal in this comic is my favorite. I just get bored of him in his solo series and I'm not even going to get into Origins.

I was a little concerned with the Registration Act and the death of Captain America and how it would affect the team. I'm glad they are able to carry on Cap's dream.

One last thing, what's up with the Skrulls? Bendis keeps getting me excited and scared at the same time.

Seriously I jumped into this issue wondering wtf is going on. But caught up to speed (Bendis just has that touch, i dunno why).

For one, the art is actually pretty brutal here. I've never seen edgy art like this, akin to Ashley Wood (when he did the penning art for Contra - Shattered Solider). Very gritty, and dirty style.

Plus the team-up fighting an insane amount of ninjas within Dr. Strange's lovely abode is a neat touch. Although Elektra with the team is a skrull. Where is our old femme fatale?

I do have to admit Bendis is getting way too ahead of himself here. Although he tries to get an idea going, maybe he should have more patience. It may just be 32 pages with ads, but there's still some strength he can gain. Or just the fact he's burning himself out, just maybe.

Hopefully we'll get an answer about Elektra's whereabouts. Something didnt seem right at all. Smells funny. (no pun intended)

Well lets start with the cover. I really liked it. I was hoping to really see Maya take down Elektra. Too bad it was a skrull inside.

The art inside sux. I hate hate hate it. That lowered my rating of the book exponentially.

The writing is kinda weak...but I understand what Bendis was trying to do. I think Bendis needs to get better or lose one book to write so this can be better.

Spiderman and Ronin are fun together I like it. Dr. Strange not dying was fun and cool. With a team book not everyone can do something and this is fine...but I am wondering why Spider-Woman is even on this team anymore besides for T and A. I used to like her. I am glad Maya is staying around. So Elektra did not die. I kinda wish she would. Anyways I hope the thing with Jessica and Luke's baby is interesting in the future.
