Well . . another issue that didn't quite end the way I expected it to, but . . . well, we'll get to that. Bobbi has been through a lot. She's been a prisoner of the Skrulls for years now. When she finally figured that out, she started gathering information on her would be captors . . waiting for the moment when she would be able to get back home. When that finally happens, she comes home only to find out that both of her teams, the West Coast Avengers and SHIELD, are nowhere to be found. The Avengers are still there, but it's a whole new cast of characters. And SHIELD? SHIELD has been transformed into something that's barely recognizable to her. So what does she do? She starts up her own organization . . the WCA . . World Counterterrorism Agency. She's begun it's ranks with the now former SHIELD agents that were captured by the Skrulls with her. And, reluctantly, with Clint. Their first mission is to stop a bomb from going off that threatens to wipe out the entire Mediterranean area. This threat has been conceived by AIM, and their scientist supreme, Monica Rappaccini. At the end of the last issue a bomb went off, but . . it wasn't 'the bomb', the one they're here to stop. It looks like Clint was taken out in the blast so Bobbi has to take down Monica and the rest of AIM by herself, and get the scientists that have been gathered here to safety. She's almost successful at the and then Clint and Monica show back up. Monica still wants to set off the bomb, even if she has to do so herself. Anyways, long story short, they save the day and with a little ingenuity turn the bomb, when it explodes, into a heterodiamond. But that's not really what we all want to know. What we all want to know is what's going to happen with Bobbi and Clint. They talk about it and decide that they can't go back to the way things were. But . . they do still have feelings for each other. So . . they've decided that they're going to start dating. That, and Clint's going to join the WCA as an operative. The issue ends with them diving into a mission together. I thought the ending worked itself out very well. It really wasn't what I was expecting. I thought he'd go back to the Avengers, and she's sink herself into her new group. However . . I like this ending better. Plus it just seemed the natural course of events. I thought Jim McCann did a great job with this story. I thought he handled the dialogue between Bobbi and Clint perfectly. I also liked David Lopez' pencils. Really, I picked up this series on a lark . . completely by accident. But . . I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed it.
