Because this weeks books I picked up were all solid reads, I will get to them, but before I do I must finish up the book reviews from last week with mini reviews..... WOOT!
The Mighty Avengers #9
Its the Mighty Avengers vs. Dr. Doom in this issue as the Avengers launch an attack on Castle Von Doom after its revealed that he released the Venom virus. Since the Civil War ended, most heroes have registered and are now either working for a team in each of the fifty states or is a Mighty Avenger. The idea of this book was to show what its like working for the government after registration and even though this story has dragged at times, I think its succeeded in doing so.
Brian Michael Bendis continues to write this story as most of this issue revolves around the team taking down Doom's sentries and bringing Doom to justice. There are six-pages of this book are dedicated to pure action and zero dialogue. Which is fine with me, because since issue one the book has been more about bringing together this new team, Ms. Marvel and her leadership skills with this new team, and how Shield and the Government regulate the heroes. So this story is a welcome change.
However, this Doom arc, is nothing but a ploy to keep people entertained until its Secret Invasion time. The story is also predictable because after reading the first two pages I immediately knew where this issue was going to end. The only reason I could really recommend this book is because Marko Djurdjevic makes a guest appearance, taking the helm for two pages, bringing his concept art into the fold as Dr. Doom visits a beautiful and (half) naked sorceress. This is a book you can probably avoid until a Skrull pops out of a hole or they let the New Avengers go.... again.
