Awesome Book. Great collection. I love these hard cover collections. Story is great. Artwork is fantastic. Bendis is the best writer out there today. A great read.
A stretch of the series that isn't so special This second massive collection of Brian Michael Bendis' New Avengers finds the series beginning a stretch that was far from the series' best (and would continue until the end of Civil War). Featured in this collection is new member Ronin, recruited by Captain America, whose identity actually turned out to be a bit of a surprise. Also happening in these pages is the revelation of just how Spider-Woman got her powers back, and just who she has been secretly working for. The latter part of this collection bridges events between the aftermath of House of M and sets up the beginning of Civil War, as this also marks the last time that the team is really together as a whole. Suplemental issues are included as well, including an annual and the opening of Giant-Size Spider-Woman, but as I said before, this just isn't the best of New Avengers. There is excellent artwork throughout however from a variety of talent, including David Finch, Mike Deodato, Frank Cho, and more besides, but this is far from Bendis' best work on the series. All in all, if you don't already own any of the single hardcovers or TPB's of New Avengers and want to take on the series, these deluxe editions are worth picking up, especially considering how much better the series does end up getting.
