Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Lots
PLEASE BE WARNED THAT THERE ARE SPOILERS WITHIN THIS REVIEW. This may not be an entirely popular view but Avengers Dissassembled is an excellent example of what is wrong with Marvel Comics these days.
It's all filler leading from one event to the next without any real meat.
I'm putting spoiler warnings on now.....
In these issues it transpires that the Scarlet Witch has flipped out at the revelation that her kids never existed (she's told this by a drunk Wasp - as Bendis strives to destroy Jan's character). Odd thing is, Wanda already knows that her kids don't exist.
She then somehow ressurects Jack of Hearts who then explodes killing Ant-Man.
The Vision shows up & somehow regurgitates several Ultron robots before being ripped apart by the She-Hulk. She-Hulk herself obviously going a bit mental & ripping apart one of her friends....
Then a load of fake Kree turn up & Hawkeye, a master bowman & strategist decides to take out a ship by flying directly into it's engine & effectively commiting suicide.
Yes folks, logic has left the building, but that's alright cos Bendis will relaunch in a few months with a series starring Spider-Man & Wolverine.
It's pretty poor storytelling obviously designed to set up the next big thing, in a similar way that House of M & Secret Invasion were all style over substance.
Bendis seems to eager to subvert the status quo without paying attention to character or history
Summary: Rubbish

- 19/02/09 I don't like including spoliers but it's hard to justify how bad this story is without revealing some of the ways the characters are misrepresented.
Simply stating that characters were acting out of character & that all plot & logic had been thrown out of the window simply doesn't describe how bad this book is.
I hope I haven't spoiled the book for anyone who's yet to read it. |

- 18/02/09 Sorry but you have told everyone exactly what happens in this making this no use to anyone. If you think that your review needs to have spoiler warnings in it then you shouldnt post it, or you need to change it. |
