I spend a lot of time and money buying and reading comics. Most of the time I'm happy with my choices, sometimes not. I'm hoping,that with my reviews on what I've read, I might spare someone else dissapointment. I'll read anything, but I can't afford everything. If there's something you'd like for me to read, let me know. If you take the time to read this, please, take the time to let me know what you think. I may not agree with you, or you may not agree with me. But, so what. That's life.

New Avengers #30 - Marvel
We're bouncing back and forth on our story here. We started out going to Japan, a couple of issues ago, and seeing Ronin fighting with the Avengers. Then we bounced back to New York, the day before, to see where the New Avengers, actually, I guess, the Mighty Avengers, Tony's new team under the supervision of SHIELD, lays a trap for this team, to try to apprehend them. Basically, they leak the information of where Steve's body is, and that he's not really dead. Well of course it's a ruse. I mean . . . duh!! But they get out of the trap and retreat to Doctor Strange's house. I mean . . . sanctum santorum . . . or something like that. Anyways, because of the trap, Tony learns that Strange is helping them. He's got some kind of elaborate spell going that makes everyone else, who sees his house, think that it's in disrepair and about to be demolished. Says it's going to be a Starbucks. Of course it is! So anyways, they're hiding in plain sight, it's just no one else can see them. So Tony brings in his own Shaman, Brother VooDoo. To do the hoo-doo . . . that he do. But . . he's just not strong enough for the Doctor. He can't break through his spell. But Tony's still not convinced. So he walks through the supposedly empty house and gives a little speech. After which, a couple of issue ago, is when they went to Japan, because Ronin asked for their help. Oh yeah, Clint Barton, Hawkeye, shows up too. But he doesn't want to be Hawkeye anymore. So when they go to Japan, he is the one wearing the Ronin suit. Which really doesn't matter because after Elektra killed Echo, Maya, Ronin, she brought her back to life. The Avengers thought they got there quick enough that she wouldn't be completely under her spell, but at the end of this issue she skewers the good Doctor. So now we're hip deep in another fine mess. But I really do like this book. Bendis and Yu are doing a fantastic job. I just wanna see how this whole New Avengers / Mighty Avengers thing plays out. I'm interested to see where all the pieces land when the dust settles. Who'll be on what team . . . and what they'll be called. I think they're going to stretch this out for a while though.
