Yes . . it's official. Brother Voodoo has accepted the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme. Now all he has to do is help Stephen and Daimon beat Dormammu . . and his training can begin. Last issue, the New Avengers landed in New Orleans. Stephen was looking to see who the new Sorcerer Supreme might be. Actually, he was hoping he could get to him/her first so that if it was someone of questionable background . . he might be able to run some interference. His worst fear is that it would become Doctor Doom. But they came here to talk to Daimon Hellstrom. However, shortly before they arrive . . the Hood also tries to run some interference. Well . . not the Hood exactly, but the Hood possessed by Dormammu. So 10 minutes before that, when the Eye of Agamotto shows itself to Jericho Drumm . . and he's talking to the spirit of his dead brother, Daniel . . he's a little freaked out by the offer he's given. However, he does accept and then when he looks out his window, he sees the firefight happening in the streets of his own neighborhood. He's even more apprehensive, when he turns the corner and happens upon the scene . . Stephen, Daimon, and the rest of the New Avengers present . . fighting a behemoth of a demon named Dormammu. However his help is essential. The 3 sorcerers cast a confinement spell and then exorcise the demon Dormammu back to the depths where he came from. Leaving a broken Hood strewn on the streets. However, I don't think it's over quite that easy. As he lays broken in, I'm sure, a prison hospital . . Loki pays him a visit. "I was counting on you for the time of Norman Osborn's fall. But now look at you . . you're no good to me now. Parker . . would you like a second chance?" At the scene of the incident Clint grabs a person with a video-camera and again throws his accusations about Norman out there. He explains how the Avengers are trying to save the world, and that people like the Hood and Madame Masque are the real villains out there. But Norman once again turns it back on Hawkeye and his jaded past. The issue ends with Clint telling Bobbi . . "I thought . . I thought I'd rattle him. I thought the media would go after him. But they didn't . . we're going to have to kill him." I thought this was another great issue by Brian Bendis and Billy Tan. I liked the story, and am intrigued by all the subterfuge that is going on behind Norman's back. But I suppose you don't rise to a position of power like that without a few people trying to take you down. Although . . it's beginning to appear that it's everyone that works for him. You just don't see the loyalty here that you do with the people that are working for Nick Fury. He commands a whole different kind of respect. But . . where do the Avengers go from here?
