I really wanted to believe that the relaunch of Avengers this week was going to be worth reading, but unfortunately it's just a fresh coat of paint on the same wreck of a car. In this version, like the last one, the heroes mostly stand around trading quips, all sounding like they're the same person (which I assume is writer Brian Michael Bendis). Something that should've occupied about 3 to 5 pages is instead the entirety of this product. Also not working in its favour is the fact that it's a $3.99 title despite having no more story pages than a $2.99 comic, padded out with text pages that aren't of the least interest to me. It's painful to see how far my once-favourite team-title has fallen, but that seems to be par for the course with Disney Comics anymore.
