I spend a lot of time and money buying and reading comics. Most of the time I'm happy with my choices, sometimes not. I'm hoping,that with my reviews on what I've read, I might spare someone else dissapointment. I'll read anything, but I can't afford everything. If there's something you'd like for me to read, let me know. If you take the time to read this, please, take the time to let me know what you think. I may not agree with you, or you may not agree with me. But, so what. That's life.

the New Avengers Annual #3 - Marvel
Clint Barton decided to go public with what he knew about Norman Osborn. So he went on TV. He thought that with this revelation the public opinion of him would falter. But, when nothing really came from his announcement, he decided to go meet him face to face . . and kill him. Now come on. You just knew that wasn't going to work out. So now? Now Clint is Norman's hostage. When Norman realizes that Normal interrogation, and intimidation techniques aren't going to work . . he brings in Mentallo to dig information out of his brain. He wants to know where the Avengers are hiding. Meanwhile, back at their hideout, Bobbi, Ms Marvel, Spider-Woman and Jessica Jones have decided that they're going to do something about this. And as you can see on the cover, Jessica has decided to reestablish her identity as Jewel. Her and Luke have an interesting conversation about that later on. Anyways, they can't attack them head on, so . . they know that sooner or later Norman will get the information he wants from Clint, so . . they wait for Norman, and his Avengers to make their move . . and then they go to release Clint. In the end . . everything works out. They get Clint out. Norman gets nothing . . other than destroying one of their 'safe-houses'. And the Avengers move on to Plan-B . . the 'safe-house' a block and a half away. But 2 big things come out of this story. First is Jessica's decision to rejoin the super-hero community. And the second occurs on the final page. Bucky is kicking himself for this turn of events, when from the shadows comes a voice . .'Well, I'm not thrilled . . but for now I'm just happy that you're all okay. You're right, Hawkeye, the world has gone to hell. But thank god the Avengers are here to do something about it. And we are. You ready?' On the final page we see that Steve Rogers is back. That's going to change their plan of attack a little bit. I thought it was a great book, and a fantastic Annual. Brian Bendis did a great job with the story. But the real star of the book was Mike Mayhew's fantastic art. The whole book was amazing. I've been enjoying the Mighty Avengers just a bit more than this team. But . . with this issue . . that excitement has been reignited. Fan-frikkin-tastic!!
