Synopsis: For 42 issues readers of New Avengers have wondered, who caused the breakout in New Avengers #1 and why? And how was this the real start of the SECRET INVASION? Find out right here!

Opinion: Well here we go again loyal readers and fellow comic nerds. It doesn’t appear that my lambasting of the issue 41 had much affect on Mr. Bendis, as he seemed fit to go ahead and give us the same thing he did last time.

Storyline: Secret Invasion Tie-In
Date: May 29, 2008
Price: $2.99 US
Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Artist: Billy Tan

Synopsis: The Avengers are trapped in the Savage Land, battling friend and foe. And Spider-Man heads to the one person in the entire place he knows he can trust: Ka-Zar!! But is it really him? This important chapter rewinds the events of the very first New Avengers story and shows how it connects to the Invasion.

Opinion: After a steady steam of perfect Secret Invasion tie-ins, Bendis has given us his first misstep in the most recent outing of those oh so new Avengers. Every recent issue of the New Avengers has served to fill in the gaps left by the Secret Invasion, answering questions and furthering the plot of Marvel’s company wide epic. However, issue #41 only adds to the confusion of the story.

Check out my full review after the jump.

Storyline: The Initiative
Date: July, 2007
Price:$2.99 US / $3.75 CAN
Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Artist: Dave McCraig

Synopsis:  The New Avengers have found a huge clue to the threat that has faced them since the day they banded together. And now just the knowledge of that threat is tearing them apart. What secret could be so damning that it could do to the New Avengers what the Civil War could not?

 Opinion:  Good lord, man! A giant conversation aboard Iron Fist’s airplane. One boring character would say, “You’re a freakin’ Skrull, dude!” Then another bland-ass character would explaim, “Maybe I am! Maybe you are too!” Om my God, it was just like that throughout 90% of the comic. It made for an excrutiatingly boring and painful read. The only bright spot was when the plane crashed. Unfortunately, nobody died. Crapola! Run from this book.
