This issue mostly was about bringing Quicksilver back into the Avengers fold. Norman Osborne's other team, the Cabal . . much like Xavier's secret Illuminati, this group consists of Norman, Doctor Doom, Emma Frost, Namor, the Hood and Loki . . the Cabal is trying to shape world events in their favor. The main problem I see right now is a whole lot of infighting. None of them seem to be on the same page. To further prove this, Loki is posing as the Scarlet Witch and has been calling this new team of Avengers into action. I think she's doing it mainly to put a thorn in Norman's side. Which is where Quicksilver comes in. He's heard that his sister has shown back up with this group and he wants to know why. He wants to know what their connection to her is. So while Loki . . er, the Scarlet Witch, has tasked the team with crisis' all over the globe, Pietro has been chasing them trying to catch up. He seems to be the same impulsive liar as always. During one of the events there's a press conference and one of the reporters targets Pietro. " . . given your recent troubles . . with the Inhumans, superhumans, and the mutant communities . . do you feel that you deserve a coveted spot on an Avengers Team?" To which Pietro responds, " . . there's something your viewers need to know. Most of this is new to me. You see, for the past few years, I'd been replaced by a Skrull. I've only recently come back to Earth along with the rest of the abductees . ." Jarvis and Hank both know that he's lying. He's also lying about wanting to be an Avenger again. The only reason he's here is to find out about his sister. However, that may all be moot. HAMMER has recently figured out how to target Pym particles and has attacked Hanks lab that was anchored in Chicago. However, when HAMMER attacks, Jocasta, who's inside with Jarvis, makes a decision to cast off that anchor. "This 'Pym-pocket' we're in, it used to exist in two places at once . . Chicago, and this side dimension. I cut our tether to the real world. Don't worry. We're not trapped. Yet. The doors still work. But they're fading one-by-one. In less than 48 hours . . they'll all be gone. Then this lab, along with all of Hank's . . secret projects . . will be stranded outside of space and time." When the team comes back from France, they come back to the lab not knowing that they may very well soon be trapped. This book is becoming intriguing. I was a little concerned with Dan Slott taking over on the stories. Not with his talent, but . . Brian Bendis has been steering the Avengers for the last couple of years. I was worried that things may flounder for a bit. However, that was needless concern. Dan seems to have a pretty good direction planned out here. It'll be interesting to see where this all takes us. Plus . . I kind of like the dynamics of the new team. Some times it's good to shake up the traditional paradigm. Rafa Sandoval is the current penciller of the book.
