New Avengers - the Reunion #3 - Marvel


Clint just does not give up. Does he? He and Bobbi are on a mission now. She created a new group called the WCA, World Counterterrorism Agency, and their trying to stop an AIM scientist from setting off a chemical bomb. Apparently she's trying to assume leadership of AIM, and this bomb will be a display of her resolve and resourcefulness. At least that's what Bobbi thinks. So they've gone off to stop the bomb. Unfortunately, Clint has tagged along with her. He says he wants to watch over her and ensure that she returns unharmed, but really . . really all he wants to do is drive her crazy with questions and scenarios. He can't believe that before she was abducted that she was actually going to follow through with her threat of divorce. And that according to her they never would've made up. During this whole operation though, Bobbi blacks out for a second and we see her memories of how she dealt with her abduction on the Skrull home-world. I'm not sure what this all has to do with the current events, other than that the Skrulls tried to use her friendship and feeling for Clint and Tigra to acclimate her to her new surroundings. In the end, she had to kill the Clint impostor. Even though she knew it wasn't him, I'm sure that was hard. Anyways, she and Clint figure out that Monica Rappaccini is actually trying to abduct all the scientific heads, and when the bomb blows just make it look like they were all killed. But their revelation is to late as the palace comes down on top of Clint, and Monica has decided that Bobbi is important enough to include on her little shopping list. Jim McCann is writing this one. I think he's doing a good job. It appears that everything we thought we knew about Clint and Bobbi's relationship was all just a lie. But . . that's not Jim's fault. It's all because of that whole Skrull thing. Jim's just trying to put it all back together and help Clint, and us, make sense of the whole thing. Plus . . we get the WCA out of it. David Lopez does the pencils. They're ok. He goes for a style that I don't really like all that much, but . . it works ok with this book. Next issue we'll see how this all wraps up. For picking this up by accident, I'm really enjoying it. It's turned out to be a decent little series.
