I'm not exactly sure why the Hood is on the cover of this issue. He doesn't really have anything to do with it . . other than that it's his men that are attacking the Avengers hideout in Brooklyn. Anyways, we saw the last issue end when Spider-man and Spider-woman have come across the paths of the Griffin and Mandrill. The issue ended when Mandrill used his control over women to convince Spider-woman to kill Spider-man. She tossed him over the side of the building. While I enjoyed seeing these 2 duke it out, the ending was never really in question. You knew that somehow Jessica would find a way to beat the control, and together they'd take them down. Which they did. On the other front Steve, Bucky and Luke are stuck fighting the Living Laser, Arthur Parks. Again, the ending was never in question, just how they'd go about doing it. After the fight they find that they've also been hunted down by Nick Fury. Nick's there with his Secret Warriors. They make their presence known just in time as almost immediately HAMMER bears down on them. They beat them, but they go from one fight to another. When they get back to another safe-house, they find about about the attack on Thor by Osborn and his Avengers. Steve is appalled by this series of events and calls them all into action as they head off to Broxton. I thought it was an interesting book, although a bit predictable as to the outcome of Brian Bendis' story. You just knew how it was going to end. However, it did have some fantastic art by Daniel Acuna and Stuart Immonen. Unfortunately . . this is another book that's not going to be around that much longer. #64 is the last issue. There will be a New Avengers Finale book. And the Age of Heroes, Avengers, the Secret Avengers and Avengers Assemble will all be coming out after that. So there won't be any shortage of Avengers action. The four titles that we have now just won't be around any longer. So it's just one of those things where the old has to end to make way for the new. It's sad, but . . just a part of life.
