New Avengers, Vol. 1: Breakout by Brian Michael BendisMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The Avengers have disbanded. This book explores the idea of what happens in the Marvel universe when the Avengers are gone and settles on the concept that a group of heroes will naturally come together. This time, it gives us the New Avengers: Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Spider-Woman, and Wolverine.
The big thing I liked about this book is the massive breakout of supervillains from Ryker Island. This actually filled in some holes from a few other Marvel books I've read recently. Electro has never been a favorite villain, but his role in this book is done well. And this New Avengers team comes together in a way that is mostly natural. Each of the heroes acts in a way that I would expect from them. Bendis does a great job bringing these characters together.
It sort of fell apart when the group heads to the Savage Land. This part of the story isn't told poorly, but it seemed unnecessary. It does introduce some good ideas for the series. I thought the art was fantastic. Marvel does a great job of nabbing some of the best artists around. There are definitely better titles out there. I found this one enjoyable though and full of potential.
