Like the previous volume this story wraps up some loose ends
of the New Avengers book that go all the way back to the start of this second
series with the Heroic Age. Luke Cage
& Jessica Jones have decided that it is time to retire from the
Avengers & focus on raising their child.
This last story arc is really a Dr. Strange story & the covers for
the individual issues are quiet misleading.
The story does involve Brother Voodoo indirectly but he is not in this
story. This story is about how Stephen
Strange once again becomes the Sorcerer Supreme for the Marvel Universe. Just like in the first story where there was a lot of possession of different team members by a spirit that happens again in this
story. There is death in this book of
several minor characters in this story one of which is quite shocking but the
death that affected the Avengers team the most is the death of Victoria
Hand. Also just to take note of in this
story for the sake of continuity Ms. Marvel has changed costumes & names at
this stage of the game. She now goes by
Captain Marvel. The story-arc also has
several artists that bring this adventure to a close some is unique and cool
while others seem childish. I wouldn’t
say any of the art is bad in this book but not all of it works within the story
that it is attempting to tell. This
story is a great end-cap to Brian Michael Bendis’s run on the main Avengers
titles.
