Avengers / Invaders #2 - Marvel / Dynamite Entertainment

I was beginning to wonder why this book wasn't call the Mighty Avengers / Invaders. After all, that is the team of heroes that we're dealing with here. However, as we find out this issue, the Mighty Avengers, and the New Avengers have taken entirely different stances on how the handle the team of heroes that has accidentally been dragged in to their time-line. Ultimately, they're going to end up at odds, much in the same way they did during the Civil War. The Mighty Avengers wants to limit the Invaders exposure to the current time so as not to create some sort of paradox. However, to do so, they have taken them in to custody and locked them down, until they can figure out how to return them to their natural time. Well, all except for Namor that made a run for it during their encounter. While this is a valiant endeavor, and attempt, unfortunately for the Invaders their methods are not unlike those used by the Axis in the time that they recently left. Which, I think, is why they are so reluctant. Which also segues in to the approach that the New Avengers are gonna be taking here, probably next issue. They see the Invaders as world-wide heroes that are being unjustly incarcerated for a series of events that are beyond their control. Which . . they're probably right. But, neither team is taking two things in to account. First of all, neither of them have any idea of how to return them to the original time. So they don't even know how they got here, so how can they reverse what they don't know. Secondly, nobodies stopped to think . . why are they here in the first place. For such an unlikely series of events to take place, there must be a reason why someone, or something felt the need for their intervention. So obviously the means for their return probably won't be discovered until their purpose is fulfilled. So, to me, the first priority would be to find out what the ultimate purpose of their little jaunt is. Alex Ross, Jim Krueger and Steve Sadowski are doing an incredible job with this series. I even enjoyed the Mike Perkins variant cover, even though it did cost me $25. This is a 12 issue series, so the answers aren't going to be coming to fast. My suggestion? Sit back and enjoy the magic of all of these heroes coming together in the same series, and the incredible talent of it's creative staff. The end will come soon enough. Enjoy the ride while you can.
