Daily Issues - Avengers #13

Written by Brian Michael Bendis

Penciled by Chris Bachalo

 

            I should preface this by saying I love Brian Bendis. The book that got me into the world of Comics was Ultimate Spider-Man, so it should be no surprise if I gush over his work. While I don’t adore all of his stuff (sorry Scarlet), I like most of it.

            His run on the new of volume of Avengers has run hot and cold for me. Some issues, its awesome. Some issues, not so much. The artists he attracts easily help make the book a huge success *cough*JRJR*cough*. Avengers #13 definitely lies on the positive side of the Avenger’s quality spectrum. A majority of the book is done like a reality TV-show interview, where the character speaks to some off camera presence. I enjoyed this. It felt like a good post-event issue, where characters needed to unwind, address their feelings and pin-down what it means to be an Avenger. The tone quickly changes as the characters begin to address Blitzkrieg USA, the Red Skulls assault on the Nation’s capital. This is the first issue of Avengers addressing the Fear Itself event, and I thought it was very tastefully done. The issue serves as a bookend for the incomplete event, and highlights both the hopelessness of the conflict and how profoundly it will affect the Avengers.

            The highlight of the issue is easily the back and forth between Spider-Woman and Ms. Marvel about Spider-Woman’s burgeoning relationships with everyone’s favorite sharpshooter, Hawkeye. Throw in a little bit of smarm from the man in purple, and some worrying from his ex-wife, Mockingbird, and the issue has all of the drama a superhero book needs.

            If you’re not reading this book, I highly recommend you pick this issue up (if you can find it), as it not only serves as a great jumping on point and introduction to Fear Itself, but is also a great story by itself, and can be read as a stand alone issue.
