The Mighty Avengers #20

Although I have completed the Secret Invasion miniseries in May 2009, only recently I have the chance to continue reading the Mighty Avengers series. Talk about time management? I used to complain about my staff time management skills and now I, myself is doing the same. But this is my hobby. Comics reading is during my free time, when and where I feel like it, even though if it is about 9 months late

OK, back to Mighty Avengers 20. I really like the part at Janet Van Dyne’s funeral where Hank Pym comes up to say some words. There is silence at first, but then he lashes out at Tony Stark and blame him for everything “You killed Captain America, you killed Janet, but there you are! Who’s next Tony?” He would continue if not for Thor whom cut short his speech, say a few words and fly the doctor away. “Come, doctor. We shall mourn together in private.” You could really feel the emotions in the artwork.

Anyway, I am disappointed on how Bendis handled Janet’s death/funeral. He should have dedicated more pages in her memory like the way he handles Pym’s grief. That was marvelous, however when comes to this issue, it still goes down on who you like better. If you’ve have never liked Hank Pym, then this is disappointing.

Dark Avengers

The Skrulls recently tried to invade earth using their shape-shifting ability to seed mistrust among the Avengers and other heroes. All looked lost, but when Thor summoned both the humans and Skrulls to a battle on the fields of central park, The avengers, other heroes and villains fought as one against the Skrulls.

Norman Osborn, the green goblin, the leader of the Thunderbolts, made the kill-shot and took out the Skrull Queen.

In the aftermath, Tony Stark took all the blame for the invasion and was stripped of his roles as leaders of the Avengers and the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Norman Osborn was appointed to replace Stark.The Dark Avengers #1 is all about Norman Osborn’s New Avengers, or should we say the Dark Avengers.

The first issue is how he approaches Moonstone (Karla Sofen) while she is meditating to take over as Ms Marvel. He also introduced the name H.A.M.M.E.R. as the replacement for S.H.I.E.L.D., but just the name, no details about it on the first issue. He gave Venom something to eat that makes him ‘normal’ and Venom takes over The Amazing Spider-Man. Daken Akihiro takes his father’s place as Wolverine, Bullseye as Hakweye. Marvel Boy is Captain Marvel. Ares, the God of War, and the Sentry is still around.

Norman Osborn is the Iron Patriot.

Deodato’s artwork is solid, you can see that although the Dark Avengers are wearing heroes costumes, they are not heroes. I am currently subscribing the New Avengers and the Mighty Avengers, this one looks cool too, but I’m not sure whether I should spend more money on comics
