CCW 2.296: Dark Avengers Annual #1 REVIEW

[TheShadowGoblin]

Steve Rogers: Director of S.H.I.E.L.D Would make me be ok with his return and want me to read him in future, thought it seems never to be.

[johnnyhorror92182]

Alright. I'm putting in my 2cents right now and saying that their is nothing wrong with Captain America Reborn.

Story wise, it's good. It's reflects well on Brubakers writing. The problem is the way Marvel promoted and released it. It was written to be a story, not a blow-your-balls Mike Bay Fanboy wet dream. And ideally, it probably should have taken place in the Captain America series and not as a mini-series.

[comicculturewarrior]

And I do believe that Jose and I have stated that. The problem isn't so much with the story as that it's been hyped too much and was given it's own mini...oh yeah, and it's late and they're charging 3.99 for it. And they've extended the mini-series even though IT'S LATE AND COSTS 3.99!

Beyond that, I don't have much of a problem with it. ;)

@comicculturewarrior well that little rant was for this guy below me here, sorry.

Have a Happy Holiday, Elliott.

[comicculturewarrior]

LOL. Not a problem Johnnyhorror92182. Just decided to do my best Jose impersonation for the holiday. You have a happy one to my friend.

This was the first Dark Reign book that was fun to read... but Goddamn what's the point of Reborn. the only reason to read Reborn now is if Brittney Murphey has to fight her way back to life with Cap and fight over the shield with Bucky.  Marvel's blown their Event asshole completely out.

[Baec]

man, everybody has been going apeshit over the whole Steve Rogers spoiler in New Avengers and Dark Avengers Annuals.

I'm not even buying Captain America Reborn, and just like with flash rebirth I can tell you what happened at the beginning and what will happen at the end.

As for Noh-Varr fighting Sentry that isn't anything to write home about.

Sentry just barely lost to WWH, he did the best out of everyone. Than he lost to Namor. Than he beat f@#$%^& Molecule Man.

Sentry is Deus Ex Machina!

[Ep33n]

I think when bendis has too much to say it shows in his work. In this instance, there wasnt as much clutter, he's finally starting to get down to what the origional plan was.

p.s. ace in the hole has to be marvel man now, a cheesy fight with marvel boy perhaps, and maybe even a cheesy heroic sacrifice of marvel man at the end.

[kurumais]

btw werent the kree crushed in the annihilation mini?

[johnnyhorror92182]

@kurumais No. What was left of the Skrull Empire, prior to Secret Invasion was wiped out by in the Annihilation War.

[kurumais]

@johnnyhorror92182 i knew that but i think the kree were crushed too

[johnnyhorror92182]

@kurumais The Kree pretty much came out on top, thanks to Ronan leading them. They had to cede some outer-rim territories to Annihilus's forces, but they weren't crushed.

[deemar325]

Against my better judgement I bought this crap, and it was if I was watching a 3hr movie and I fell asleep

[comicculturewarrior]

I'm sorry we let you down with the Bendis review deemar. I am sure we will make it up to you in the next segment.

J.

[deemar325]

All good J

Just send the $4.99 to ******land Dr, Atlanta, Ga

[zcorp79]

While I was interested in finding out what happens to Marvel Boy after reading that he bailed in DA #6. But as Elliot pointed out 4.99 seemed like to much for an annual.

[stevenrocks5937]

What, no Doom-Bot this issue?

[comicculturewarrior]

Did we forget to mention that the Sentry in this issue was in fact a Doom Bot? Smart ass.

J.

[stevenrocks5937]

@comicculturewarrior

HA HA! What? Wuddisay?

Sure this isnt El responding posing as Jose?

[BloodyHellPictures]

Oh Bendis.

I like you, but after Siege you need to stay away from the Avengers. You're milking dust out of the Avengers cow.

Actually no, I like his Avengers stuff, but there's always a set up, always an event.

But that's what happens in most of the Marvel Universe these days. It's all about the events which personally I'm tired of.

Though I'm waiting for Blackest Night TPB:P

[PILKK90]

what is this 'seige' you speak of? i havent seen it advertised anywhere

[Avengers24]

the annual was pretty good but the art was eh

[Mitiators]

Another preview of Siege? Hilarious!

[QZ7]

Put Captain Marvel on post-Siege Avengers or give him a solo title

[kurumais]

for those who read the morrison's marvel boy mini

didnt morrison's inter dimensional kree seem much more advanced and powerful then the regular kree? and i loved noh varrs crazy wacky powers ,very unique ,now it looks like bendis turned him into captain marvel, flight and energy powers kind of dull power wise if you ask me hope im wrong

[deemar325]

@kurumais

See you just don't understand Bendis is exploring character he doesn't have time to get stuff like powers right

[kurumais]

@deemar325 no he did but now he sort of transformed noh varr he gave him nega bands and sentry said hue couldnt sense him anymore

so now what will he be like E said capt marvel? I LOVED PAD's capt marvel but im not crazy about flying guys with energy powers i find them dull

[deemar325]

Heh..I was being a wise ass.

sarcasm

[kurumais]

i having hard time believing bendis wrote that lol

i never thought of noh varr as a hero remeber he declared war on the earth in the morrison mini that introduced him. i always thought of him as a kree soldier , thats why i thought he would fit in with dark avengers but he would pursue his own agenda as well . i loved the mod boy look he had in this book but i too wasnt crazy about the new costume kind of toad like.

thanks for the thoughts

[BENWONDER]

I predict Bucky remains Cap white Steve Rogers wields S.H.I.E.L.D. post Dark Reign.

[comicculturewarrior]

ahhhhhhhh...clever play on words there. Perhaps that's why the Cap mini is delayed? At the end, Rogers will be installed as director of S.H.I.E.L.D.? Intriguing.

Elliott

[saar1707]

It's not exactly clear "who will weild the shield" because in IIM #21, that came out, Steve wield the shield and he wear the old Captain America suit.

[saar1707]

YEAY! ANOTHER BENDIS'S BOOK REVIEW!

[MarvelBoy117]

i liked this book for obvious reasons and i like the story i just think it should hav had a longer fight scene especially for 5 bucks but over all it was good and the costume might look better if someone else illustrates it, also, in like secret invasion didnt marvel boy get the nega-band replicas from the skrull marvell?

[generaldark]

ill pick up all this stuff in the trades most likely, i kind of like dark avengers but at the same time i dont like it, anywaise great positive review XD

[danisgod6492]

You guys liked a Bendis book?

Is it 2012 already?

[comicculturewarrior]

See?  We will give a POSITIVE REVIEW for a book we like, regardless of who wrote it. In fact, we have given Bendis good reviews before, i.e. his FCBD Avengers book. Plus, read Fortune & Glory, his book from Oni Press. Funny, funny stuff!

Elliott

[danisgod6492]

I'm not a fan of his 616 work but i do love Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man. I feel he works best if he not in the main universe.

[johnnyhorror92182]

I actually read this issue in the shop and thought the same thing, E. It's like Jose said: Put Bendis in a Box, and the quality of his work improves.
