The New Avengers #45 - Comic Review - Shazap.com

Welcome back zappers, Im Devin Curry with http://Shazap.com. Your online video source for comic book news and reviews. Follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/devincurry.

So this book was just as useless and irrelevant as last week’s Mighty Avengers book but at least this was more interesting. The one thing that I have liked most of all about this series was how deep the story went into marvel continuity so I do appreciate this story but think that it belonged somewhere else. I did enjoy seeing how the skrulls dealt with the House of M but I think Marvel is doing itself and its readers a disservice by making so many Secret Invasion tie ins with out them relating to the story itself. We don’t need all of this. The whole secret invasion story should have been told within the two avengers titles and this stuff should have been made available in outside stories. They’ve drawn it out too long and not had enough payoff outside of the core story. I’m just ready for this story to be over and see how everyone deals with getting back to some sense of normalcy.

I agree that it has been way better than Final Crisis but I think that the Tie-ins have been mostly pointless and a waste of time. They haven't added to the story at all, just what happened with other stories. At least the Initiative has had it's own story line and been present in the time line. All of these stories should have been condensed and collected in like two oversized issues and then the two avengers titles could have given us more of the present instead of all the past.

Agreed

I've been interested in many of the SI tie-ins and think the two Avenger titles (three if you count The Initiative) have nicely filled in the backstory.

Certainly head & shoulders over any of the Final Crisis & Countdown books!
