New Avengers By Brian Michael Bendis Vol. 3 (New Avengers (2010-2012))

The added Marvel characters added a perfect storyline. I give this 5 stars

Osborn has made a new Dark Avengers and has some extra help from Hydra and A.I.M.

Osborn returns and forms another unit of dark avengers out of super villains. Not bad at all. I won't say which villains he makes which hero, but they are all different from the original Dark Avengers.

Bendis does it again. Great read! A must buy

Great story arc for the New Avengers. Nothing more need be said...

Made a great gift!

Great!! 😃😃

After the whole post-SIEGE and fall of Norman Osborn, we got the "Heroic Age" releases of a new ongoing title with the Avengers brand (SECRET AVENGERS) and THE MIGHTY AVENGERS being replaced with THE NEW AVENGERS and that title being replaced with AVENGERS. They had a new lineup, and the New Avengers were essentially now under the purview of Commander Steve Rogers to be the on-the-ground team that Luke Cage would be running. They would be focused on the less "extinction-level" events that The Avengers would normally handle and be a more urban combat squad. For a long time, I didn't care for this title, because it was just too much Avengers. I had actually dropped all the titles other than SECRET AVENGERS since the idea of a proactive Black Ops Avengers squad was very new and it was being written by people like Ed Brubaker, Nick Spencer and Warren Ellis.But when I heard that the legendary Neal Adams was going to be providing art on the "Point One" issue that kicks off this arc, I decided that it was time to pick an issue of NEW AVENGERS up. The whole issue essentially is Norman Osborn's brilliantly orchestrated breakout from the superprison known as The Raft. The "New" Avengers arrive just in time to stop his escape... or so it seems. Osborn is being backed by factions of AIM, Hydra, and former agents of HAMMER (Osborn's crypto-fascist version of SHIELD), and they look to Osborn as something of a figurehead for a new movement to undermine the world's faith in The Avengers. Osborn, in all of his intelligence and glorious insanity sees himself the same way, and looks to paint himself as a political prisoner that was held without trial by Rogers and The Avengers. And all the while, with the assistance of Madame Hydra and The Gorgon, Osborn looks to recruit another group of "Dark Avengers" that can counter The Avengers with similar powers and abilities. They get Trickshot aka Barney Barton aka Hawkeye's brother to be their "Hawkeye", they get Deidre Wentworth aka Superia (a former HAMMER agent and fellow prisoner on The Raft) as their "Ms. Marvel", Ragnarok aka Thor's crazed clone as their "Thor", The Gorgon becomes their "Wolverine", Ai Apaec, a South American spider god (first seen in the limited-series OSBORN) as their "Spider-Man", Dr. June Covington (also first seen in OSBORN) as their "Scarlet Witch" and Skaar as their "Hulk". Their plan: confront, humiliate, and ultimately destroy The Avengers. Osborn's other agenda: at the very least, kill Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and their child.Meanwhile, The New Avengers have some new additions to their team: Iron Fist is now a part of the team, The Thing, Dr. Strange, Mockingbird, and at long last, Daredevil has been convinced to become an Avenger. They also have Squirrel Girl as the babysitter for Luke and Jessica's baby and former right hand of Osborn, Victoria Hand, as the team's liaison to Rogers. Outside Avengers Mansion, the seeds of distrust are starting to be sown as a bunch of demonstrators are questioning whether or not The Avengers have the right to act as a team independent of oversight, and also that they may be just as bad as the villains they fight. With Osborn on the loose, Luke is desperate to get Osborn before he can get to his child.Naturally all of this comes to a head as an apparent disaster is averted by Osborn and his Avengers before the real Avengers get there, and immediately, the two teams begin to clash. Bendis and artist extraordinaire Mike Deodato Jr. use all of their considerable talents to make this arc a series of epic battles that give the reader the unadulterated joy of a superhero team fighting a supervillain team. There are potential turncoats on each side and they are utilized to their advantages, but the biggest question is how did Norman Osborn get so amazingly powerful?Deodato is amazing as always in his execution of the art contained within these issues (when he doesn't have someone else inking his work), and of course the Neal Adams issue is gorgeous. Where the main Avengers title was severely lacking in the big fight department during this same time, NEW AVENGERS was really having a blast with everyone's different powers and personalities. This is absolutely worth the money to get this collection, since it's the best that NEW AVENGERS has had to offer in its entire run.

Excellent

Il s'agit du 3è HC depuis le retour de ce qu'il faut tout de même bien appeler les "New New Avengers" (il existe un autre HC n° 3 des "New Avengers" !), ceux qui ont été mis en place par le Commandeur Steve Rogers au cours de la période dite "Heroic Age", avec Luke Cage à leur tête. En gros, il s'agit des Vengeurs underground nés de la période "Civil War", plus la Chose et le récemment arrivé Daredevil. Ce recueil reprend 8 comic books : le n° 16.1 et les #17-23 de cette nouvelle série des New Avengers. Où sont passés les #14-16 qui n'étaient pas dans le 2è HC, je ne sais point. Perdus lors du crossover "Fear Itself" ?Ce volume s'ouvre sur un "one shot" (le N.A. #16.1) qui voit le retour sur une série vengeresse de la star des comics de super-héros de la fin des 1960s et du début des 1970s : Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you Neal ADAMS! S'il n'est pas le meilleur dessinateur de la Chose, et si sa vingtaine de pages apparaît comme un peu précipitée (as in "rushed"), Neal ADAMS reste Neal ADAMS : "R-E-S-P-E-C-T", comme disait Lady Soul, Aretha ! Son Wolvie et son Norman Osborn sont franchement intéressants. B.M. BENDIS, j'imagine, toute star actuelle qu'il est (and rightly so!), doit garder de cette collaboration un souvenir fort.A ce propos, les épisodes qui suivent sont tous dessinés par Mike DEODATO avec l'aide d'un Will CONRAD pour quelques numéros. Je ne sais pas comment il fait, M.D., pour tenir le rythme mensuel avec sa manie de chiader ses planches ! Pour le visage de Norman Osborn, toutefois, il patauge au cours du n° 17 avant de lui donner le visage de... Tommy Lee Jones ! Un "Man in Darkness", quoi !Bon, au début, cet arc à base de retour de Norman Osborn et ses New Dark Avengers m'a un peu fait bailler... Mais ce récit d'aventures tient finalement la route. Le pitch ? Les grandes organisations qui se sont tout le temps pris la pile à cause des Avengers et notamment du Captain America (A.I.M., The Hand, Hydra et H.A.M.M.E.R.) se liguent derrière Normie afin d'en finir avec tous les Avengers, "New", anciens, whatever.Norman Osborn (avec l'appui de Victoria Hand ?) monte un traquenard qui fait apparaître les Avengers, aux yeux des autorités américaines et des new-yorkais, comme des fascistes et terroristes incontrôlables. Dans le même temps, Osborn reconstitue une équipe de Dark Avengers, encore plus terrible que la précédente dans la mesure où elle dispose d'un Hulk ET d'un Thor ! OMG, yes indeed!Logan n'est pas le dernier à payer de sa personne pour que le plan infernal d'Osborn déraille. Iron-Man, le Cap' et la Chose retour d'une aventure des FF ne sont pas de trop pour essayer de contrer les plans d'Osborn et de ses sinistres Vengeurs. Comme à son habitude, au cours de l'Age des Héros, le Commandeur Rogers a quelques atouts insoupçonnés... Oui, mais qu'est devenue cette fiole de sang de Wolverine ?Un solide *** et 1/2

This was a fantastic read...Loved Mike Deodato's art & another great story by BMB...I strongly recommend this...well worth it as a complete story!

Krasse Action, geile Zeichnungen, coole Typen, viel auf's Maul. Macht Spaß, diese Nummern zu lesen. Auch wenn ich beim Osborne das "acsh nicht der schon wieder"-Zucken bekomme, nachdem wir ihn bis zum Ende der SIEGE Reihe jahrelang als brutalen Irren haben wüten sehen. Aber, es kommt durchaus Stimmung auf :)

Good read.
