This is the first time I've finished Bendis New Avengers run (he does another after this but it's much shorter)

So we start this off after Norman Osborn has taken over Shield and his Dark Avengers have taken over. Dark Reign is one of my favorite eras in Marvel too since it turns a lot of villains into heroes in the public's eye. So this volume, 80% of it, is basically the new avengers on the run from the dark avengers. On top of that, The Hood's gang decides to follow a new leader who actually becomes pretty dangerous.

This is pretty entertaining. Pace wise it's great. Lots of quips so be ready for that, but it's the fun plot that works well. While the first issue and a couple of middle issues seem oddly placed, and only getting glimpses of what happened in siege, the overall plot and storyline is ton of fun. Basically a survival chapter in the New Avengers world. A 3.5 out of 5, but I'll bump it to a 4.
