New Avengers #20 - Marvel

First I'm sorry. I don't know what happened, but somehow things got mixed up in my pile and I actually read #21 before I read #20. Ooops!! But anyways, this book gives you the one / two punch creatively. Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deotato Jr., WOW!!! What more could you ask for?? This Michael guy, that we've come to find out absorbed all the missing powers after M-Day, has decided that he can't handle what he's become and he feels that the only person who can is Magneto. So he's gone to Genosha to expunge himself of all this, and give it to Eric. Well of course the Avengers are hot on his heels. During the course of the transfer we come to find out that the driving force behind this whole series of events has been Xorn. Being a pure energy being himself, when Michael absorbed everything, apparently Xorn still maintaining his motor functions, sort of , took control of the situation and has been driving him ever since he crash landed in Alaska. This guy is so powerful that he literally brings all of the million of dead corpses in Genosha to life to fight the Avengers and keep them busy. Iron Man brings in this Shield agent who can create earth quakes, and has her focus a mini one to materialize right in Eric's frontal lobe. When he becomes indisposed, of course, Xorn is set loose, or his energy is. Tony captures it in a containment cell, and Bob flies it into the sun. Bim, Bam, Boom the situation is resolved. But, it's not the end of the story because there's a lot of loose thread lines. But that is what make's this such an awesome title. Finally as they go to fly Magneto's body out, the helicopter explodes and there's not a trace left of him. "No sign? There's not even a foot? Floating there in the . . . .". From here we go in to "Civil War" and a new dissassembled Avengers. Luckily we'll still have Brian at the helm, so it's all gonna be gravy.
