Well . . like the previous two Avengers titles, which I've just read . . this is the beginning of the final farewell for this book also. Next issue well be the final of this series. However, with this title . . more than the other two, I have a feeling that what happens here will play out into other books, like New Warriors, Thunderbolts and who knows what else. In the first part of this story, the New Warriors are at Camp HAMMER, and they're attacking the Hood and his crew. They learn about the Norn stones . . about how the Hood is amping up the power of these losers, but . . Justice and Gauntlet decide that it's 'do or die' time. Plus, they've just found out that the Night Thrasher hasn't given in to the Hood's demands. Even though he's offered Donyell a chance to be reunited with his brother, he decides to stand with his team-mates. Also, Penance is tired of putting up with all of this crap also. He breaks out of his cell, and with a couple other Initiative members, joins the fray. He also finally reveals to his old team-mates that he's actually Speedball . . Robbie. Then, as it happens, Norman calls to Hood to his side in Asgard. Without the Hood to back them up, his underlings are going down pretty easily. And in Asgard, the rest of the Initiative is fighting alongside of Norman. Although Taskmaster has his own agenda. And Diamondback and Constrictor are just looking for a way out without being killed. But all of that is moot as Norman orders the Sentry to bring it all down. This issue ends, as did the New Avengers book, with Asgard crashing to the ground. We don't know if there's any fatalities yet, but . . Frank and Rachel look like they could be in some trouble. Of these 3 books, this is the one I think I'll miss the most. The other 2 titles will be replaced with other Avengers book. There's a whole plethora of stuff coming out in the next month or two. But, with this title . . I think I'll miss Christos Gage's stories more than anything. This book has such an eclectic group of characters that I think it's going to be hard to recreate in any one of the other books. I just hope they got some good plans for these guys, now that we've gotten to know them better. It would be a shame for them all to fade into the woodwork again. However, I'm getting ahead of myself because we still have one issue to go. And it should be a beaut. Jorge Molina does the art for this book, and overall . . I really enjoyed it. All I can do now is wait for the finale. What a bummer!
