New Avengers Volume 8: Secret Invasion - Brian Michael Bendis

Secret Invasion - Brian Michael Bendis

when the heroes are unable to decipher friend against foe, do they stand any chance of emerging victoriously? With an appetite for secrets, lies and endless plot twists, writer Brian Michael Bendis took the helm for the big Marvel crossover event of 2008. Hot on the heels of Mark Millar s (very successful) 2007 Civil War, Bendis s Secret Invasion weaves a rather more intricate tale of deception, pulling together plot strands that have literally been in development for years, with a super-scale storyline that crossed over into virtually every ongoing Marvel title in publication. But does the finished product live up to the hype? It s almost unconditionally a no. It s ...

The New Avengers Volume 4: Collective - Brian Michael Bendis

been treated to a series of reasonable story arcs but nothing that could sincerely be considered to be classic Avengers material. Whilst the main writer on the series Brian Michael Bendis had remained consistent, changes in the main artists had given the series a slightly broken feel, and in The Collective, this remains the case.

It s a devastating story that follows on from an earlier Marvel Comics event ...

Having introduced us to a new team and a whole new concept, Sentry is the next instalment in Brian Michael Bendis s reinvention of the Avengers genre. Sentry follows on from the events of Breakout (portrayed in volume 1) picking up some threads first introduced there and running off with a new story (or two). This trade paperback is slightly curious in that it collects seven issues of the main series, but actually comprises two stand-alone stories - Sentry only covers four of those seven issues, with a three-part story arc later in the volume depicting a series of events re-introducing the Silver Samurai to the Marvel ...
