This review is from: New Avengers Vol. 6: Revolution (v. 6) (Hardcover)

After a few sub-par volumes of the series, Brian Michael Bendis puts the New Avengers back on top with Revolution. Picking up after the tragic events of Civil War and the death of Captain America, Luke Cage re-assembles the New Avengers: Spider-Man, Wolverine, Spider-Woman, Ronin, and new members Iron Fist and Doctor Strange. The book begins with Hawkeye, back from the dead, seeking help from Strange and searching for the Scarlet Witch. Later on, the Avengers run afoul of Iron Man and his team of Mighty Avengers as they embark on a trip to save Maya Lopez from the clutches of Elektra and the Hand, which leads to a big shocker that will have you begging for more. Bendis' writing is back at the level it was when he originally launched the book, as he presents the most compelling New Avengers story since he took the reigns of the title. The artwork from Leinil Yu (who provides a majority of the pencils with Bendis' old Daredevil partner Alex Maleev providing some guest work) is more than solid as well, which only makes Revolution all the sweeter. All in all, Revolution puts Bendis and the New Avengers back in the saddle of being Marvel's top super hero team, and with things about to come to a head in the post-Civil War Marvel universe, it should be interesting to see where things go from here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome to the Resistance, November 22, 2007

This review is from: New Avengers Vol. 6: Revolution (v. 6) (Hardcover)

New Avengers: Revolution, I have to say was quite impressive. At first I was slightly frustrated when I read the book unknowing of the many holes that each issue left, however upon reading more of the book I realized the brilliance of its setup and saw that each issue slowly, but surely filled in each hole and gave me all the answers I pondered. The return of Clint Barton and the first confrontation of the New Avengers versus the Mighty Avengers was impressive enough, but just when I thought things couldn't get more exciting, bam a shocking revelation is made that made me wonder, who do I trust? It quite simply was amazing and I enjoyed every bit of it and encourage others to read it and discover the truth to the future of the Marvel Universe.

"The New Avengers, v.6: Revolution"
-------------------------------------------------
Gathering issues #26-31, this volume is a postscript to Marvel's "Civil War" plotline, with the rebel remnants of the Avengers carrying on after Captain America has been killed... Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Doctor Strange and a handful of others are on the run, with Iron Man and his government-backed posse hot on their heels. Although I'm not wowed by the artwork (Alex Maleev does a fine one-shot episode with Hawkeye and the Scarlet Witch, the rest of the book is illustrated by Leinil Yu, whose composition supports the story, but whose adds scraggly details that sometimes obscure the characters features of distort their faces...)

Anyway, the artwork is fine -- it's functional if occasionally distracting -- but the real fun comes in the story, with Brian Michael Bendis finally back in the zone. We get a lot of Luke Cage, which is what I've been waiting for the whole time, and Spidey is still fun in a group setting. Bendis doesn't seem to have much of a handle of (or perhaps interest in) Wolverine, and although Jessica Jones gets a lot of time onscreen, much more could be done with her character. These are all just quibbles though -- this was an enjoyable volume, and the series seems to be gaining momentum. The ending -- key to the upcoming Skrull-related "Secret Invasion" story arc -- actually comes as a real zinger. Let's hope Bendis can keep the quality up in future volumes!
