Brian Michael Bendis demonstrated his versatility this week, alongside a very dialogue-heavy issue of New Avengers, comes an action-packed instalment of Avengers Assemble. The Movie-Vengers and the Guardians Of The Galaxy jet off into space to find Thanos, but on the way get into a battle with the Badoon and Bendis lets Bagley loose with some awesome space battle-scenes. The bit where it’s revealed that it was actually Bruce Banner inside the Iron Man suit was an odd one though, I feel like it probably sounded like a better idea when Bendis came up with it than it ended up being, but it was something new all the same. The best thing about this issue was probably the bit at the end where Hawkeye fucked up and basically killed both the Avengers and the Guardians, oh Hawkeye you rascal. It looks like Thanos is going to win at the moment, so just how are the Avengers going to turn things around? It’ll be interesting to see. It was also good to see Bagley draw a lot of the other, non movie star Avengers, although what was Valkyrie wearing? Yeesh.

Bendis got me. Halfway through the issue, I thought that Bagley had flubbed by using IM armor that Tony hasn't used in at least a year or so. Good on 'em...that was a solid twist.
