Goodbye to the Avengers

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2013

Verified Purchase

This volume contains the last issues of the Avengers written by Brian Michael Bendis. It's understandable then on how he tackles the end of his run writing the Avengers. He's dead on with some parts and just completely misses in others.

***Spoilers Start!***

The first story arc involving Wonderman putting together a band of hero misfits to disassemble the Avengers is spot on. Absolutely great characterization and story. However, Bendis does a complete 180 degrees later on when Simon Williams basically comes back saying he was delusional/confused. It's disappointing to see such great emotional and intellectual conflict be completely erased in an instant when Wonderman comes crawling back to the Avengers (Feels a lot like how Tony Stark and Steve Rogers are basically back to being best buds). Would have been better imo to leave Simon as an antagonist and have them push the fantastic issue that was brought up: "Do the Avengers do more harm than good?"

The second arc was a fun read (although slow at times) which ends with a predictable ending. The Wasp is back! Janet van Dyne who was supposedly killed during the Secret Invasion crossover event apparently didn't die... I understand how comics are with deaths and I understand how Bendis wanted to end his run on a positive note, but come on! NOBODY stays dead anymore...

My biggest issue with how Bendis chooses to end it all is how he doesn't address the biggest issue that he basically pushed forward during his run on the Avengers: "The people don't trust the heroes anymore." Civil War, Secret Invasion, Dark Reign, Seige, and Avengers vs. Xmen progressively turned the public against the heroes. And worse yet, the heroes basically go on with their lives without REALLY addressing the issue making it seem like the public might be right in their mistrust. Hopefully this is addressed better with the start of Marvel Now!

**Spoilers End!***

Overall, this is a great book to read and it's nice to see all the Avengers (both teams) appear in the same book. Bendis did a fantastic job on his run with the Avengers and sees it off right more or less.

Overall it's a fun read and kind of sets up

Out of character but at least the toys went back in the box

Bend is is frustrating for me because he does work I absolutely love...and then he does something like Avengers. As a fan of Wonder Man, I absolutely despised what was done with him here. And the Revengers were a grand bag of characters picked from the Marvel Handbook with no real consideration for why they suddenly hate the Avenger. But at least Bendis put the toys back, more or less. Jan was resurrected and Simon was given a (admittedly half-assed) explanation for his behavior.

A pretty decent ending to the Bendis-era

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2021

This final arc of Avengers by Brian Michael Bendis doesn't really go off in a huge bang, but with a literal small-scale story, because...SPOILER: they're in the micro-verse.

MORE SPOILERS AHOY: We get the return of the presumed dead Wasp* (*I think she "died" in Bendis' "Secret Invasion"). We also get redemptive story from Wonder Man, the villain-turned hero-turned-villain-and-turned-hero again. This kinda brings a nice closing to any loose ends Bendis left on his run.

In my humble opinion Brian Michael Bendis's run on all his Avengers books was truly great and with some memorable moments. It also was his really last great arc during his time at Marvel before he moved over to DC Comics a few years later.

Bendis has always approached comics by giving you plenty of great character moments that are tucked into these whammy-wow moments. He understands the characters and what makes them tick and what makes them fun. He has an uncanny ability to take these obscure, or underused, or forgotten characters and gives them moments to be truly great.

Sadly, after this I think he was more into just having fun playing with the characters and the artists that he had at his disposal, because his "Guardians of the Galaxy" run, his remaining "Ultimate Spider-Man" and "Invincible Iron Man" run had some cool things, but no impact. Like I said, it just feels like he was writing stuff to have fun and not make something landmark or substantial. Comics should be fun and sometimes there is time for airiness, but you still need the meat on the bone.

La vie de Brian (avec les Vengeurs)

Reviewed in France on March 8, 2013

Verified Purchase

Ce HC relativement épais (4 comic books de la série 'Avengers' - les #31-34 - et deux "Annuals", un des 'Avengers' et l'autre des 'New Avengers'), post "AVsX", marque la fin d'un "run" appelé à devenir historique. C'est notamment le plus long d'un scénariste pour cette série qui regroupe les plus célèbres héros du monde Marvel : 9 années. Brian M. Bendis, puisqu'il s'agit de lui, dans un long texte à la fin (plein d'anecdotes et annonces intéressantes ! Exemple : ' Scarlet ' va revenir !), nous précise que cela représente - toutes séries et autres spin-offs compris - 242 comic books portant dans leur titre le mot "Avengers" ! Au passage, la photographie de Bendis qui accompagne cette postface le montre comme pourrait se présenter un improbable "Mini-Me" du Caïd ;))
Pour cet arc final, Bendis livre le secret de l'attitude hostile de Simon Williams, aka Wonder Man, vis-à-vis des Avengers. De ce point de vue, outre une méga confrontation avec une nouvelle équipe antithèse des Vengeurs, il nous laisse avec une vraie interrogation, digne de la controverse philosophique de ' Civil War ' : que penser du bilan des Vengeurs concernant Ultron et certaines conséquences de 4 des principaux crossovers des 10 dernières années ?
Bendis, qui tout au long de son "run" a dézingué plusieurs héros, dont des favoris des fans, nous réserve aussi pour son départ une surprise : une résurrection, ou mieux, une "non-mort" d'un des Avengers les plus sympathiques ! Cette partie de l'ouvrage se passe dans un univers qui rappelle celui de ' Star Wars - L'intégrale de la saga - Coffret Collector 9 Blu-ray [Blu-ray ]' : les créatures dignes de la fameuse scène du bar, la poursuite dans les airs etc.
Au dessin, on trouve plusieurs artistes, dont Gabrielle Dell'Otto, Brandon Peterson (une très agréable découverte, en ce qui me concerne), Mike Mayhew, les Dodsons (ils ont été meilleurs, non ?), et un florilège de collaborateurs légendaires de Bendis pour le #34, dont Mike Deodato (Le saviez-vous ? c'est lui qui a le plus souvent dessiné les différentes séries de Vengeurs écrites par Bendis !), Leinil Yu, Olivier Coipel, Walter Simonson etc.
Globalement digne et intéressant, avec notamment son quota syndical de grosses bagarres (vous voulez voir Rulk - hein ? plus personne ne l'appelle ainsi ? - se prendre une rouste ?), ce volume ne nous donne assurément pas le meilleur de Bendis mais permet courtoisement de laisser la tour des Vengeurs et son contenu en ordre avant l'arrivée de l'équipe d'auteurs et dessinateurs suivante.

Observations:
1. Once again, all Avengers are alive. Bendis killed a ruck of them ... and by the time he has finished, they are back alive. Why? What more can be wrung out of the dry cloth that are the 40 year old characters that are S Witch, Wasp and Hawkeye, really? Just like reading the Avengers in the 1980s! If only Marvel had the nerve to keep the dead dead. But that's what you get if you read a mainstream comic.
2. Bendis's piece about the execs eyes popping out when he suggested putting Spidey and Wolverine into the Avengers is the most telling point. I don't expect Alan Moore, but really, some artistic integrity would be a welcome change.
3. Despite all of that, this volume really feels like treading water, replete with "huh?" moments. How come Simon Williams flipped ... then seemed to be totally forgiven 10 pages later? What inspiration, if any, went into the Microverse story? None, so far as I can tell. Even the art is abysmal. The dialogue - well, the lines could be said by any one of the multitude of Avengers present - apart from Spidey (as he tells the jokes) and Thor (cos he has his own font, cos he speaks all funny and European, you know).
But of course I'll buy the next one ... sucker that I am. Darn.
