Avengers the Initiative Vol. 2: Killed in Action

A lot happens in this volume characters die, allegiances change & new characters arrive.  It seems that the first round of recruits has even graduated by the end of this collection.  This book is Avengers trying to be X-Men with a training facility except they don't know how to train these kids instead it seems like trial by fire every step of the way.  Dan Slott is still writing this book but is now sharing those duties with Christos Gage.  These young heroes are constantly paying for the mistakes made by the adults in this collection everything from poor leadership to the brilliant idea that it was OK to create clones of M.V.P. & give one of those clones their most powerful weapon.  A new batch of recruits arrive & they look even sadder than the first batch.  Really the only high point of this series is that it spins off into New Warriors.  Bring on Secret Invasion because skrulls are showing up everywhere.
