There's a great back-up story from 1959 about Nick Fury assembling the first attempt at an Avengers team With members like Kraven the hunter, Victor Creed ,Ulysses Bloodstone ,Namora ,Dominic Fortune & Silver Sable all to take down the Red Skull.This story is worth the cover price.
Make Mine Marvel
This book flips between two missions. The main mission of the New Avengers is to confront the continuing threat of HAMMER. Though Osborn was brought down, many in the former organization still have resources and are trying to reestablish a power base. Hand sends the team to shut down a new branch before it gets operational and it goes badly -with Mockingbird being shot. Hand's true motivation is ambiguous and I'm interested to see where the author goes with her. The other mission is that of Nicky Fury set in the past. The book rotates between the two tales the point where they will inevitably tie together. I really don't like this story-telling device because it steals momentum from both stories as they always switch just when things get going. And while the New Avengers mission is action packed with lots of humor, Fury's mission is a slow burn where most of the tale is him building a new team. *yawn*
I enjoyed the main mission of the New Avengers as it sets the stage for what is sure to be some kind of follow-up with Norman Osborn. I could have skipped Fury's mission as the tie-in was weak and mostly unnecessary. He shows up with something that will have unforeseen consequences for Mockingbird. Overall, this was a solid read which would have been better without the trip into the past.

The first issue of this issue is simply about the aftermath of the first volume. The New Avengers deal with repairing the damage done to Avengers Mansion during Agamotto's attack, Doctor Strange joins the New Avengers, Spider-Man announces he doesn't trust Victoria Hand because of her links to Norman Osborn, and Luke Cage and Jessica Jones hire Squirrel-Girl as their baby's nanny.
The second issue is Luke Cage and Ms Marvel vs a Doombot who crashed into New York. This doesn't really add anything to the overall plot of the series, but still, there is some good action.
The other issues in this volume, however, do follow one coherent story: The New Avengers decide to hunt down what's left of Hammer. Why? Well, why not? Anyway, the New Avengers leap straight into a full-on attack on Hammer's new leader's headquarters, leading into a massive fight with an army of Hammer soldiers, in which Mockingbird is shot. This is a great scene. Brian Michael Bendis being the great writer he is, and Mike Deodato being the absoluetly amazing artist he is, the two make this scene extemely epic and chaotic, with Mockingbird falling in the middle of the chaotic, explosive battle as a third Spider-Man and Doctor Strange and the police race to get her to the ambulances, Wolverine and Ms Marvel fight off Hammer, and Luke Cage and Iron Fist drive away with the truck-loads and Hammer weapons and equipment which they had gone there to steal in the first place. (Just a warning, the rest of this paragraph may have a few spoilers). The Avengers, obviously, lose this battle, unofficially retreating. Mockingbird is hospitalised and Hawkeye rejoins the New Avengers (he left half-way through volume one to be on the main Avengers team) to help fight the ones who put her there. Questions arise as to whose side Victoria Hand is on, as she is shown to be working on both sides, leading them both in to a battle with each other. The New Avengers then attack Hammer's leader again. This fight is A LOT shorter and less chaotic than the other fight as it is just her and no Hammer soldiers this time. Nick Fury shows up and arrests her. The End.
Squirrel Girl anyone?
Fantastic.
I bought it because it's part of the run and had to read it to keep up to date with the story, but still not Bendis' best work. Saying that, I bet its going to be important to some massive event that's coming up, as with the last New Avengers/mots of Marvel run up to Siege! One or two bad stories will be tolerated if the overall is mind blowing! We will have to wait and see...
