They didn't actually DO anything besides fight ninjas and save Echo. I mean did they really need the entire team for that?!? Hell they could have just sent Wolverine, I mean ninjas litterly throw themselves onto his claws nowadays. And they sure as hell didn't need Strange.
I mean it may as well have gone like this..
[b]Dr. Strange:
I have the power to end this battle and save echo in a matter of seconds, but rather I'm just going to sit here and sit here and taunt the ninjas with some magic that a rookie could easily do [/B]
Wait, some magic that a rookie could easily do? How do you know this? Do you happen to train in "magic"? I don't reckon you do. Ever think that possibly Strange might have a reason for not going in there all guns blazing and killing them all? Or the fact that none of them went there to purposely kill and destroy the Hand ninja's, just to save Echo. Which is why once they had they teleported away.
How the hell will it fail as an Avengers book? Bullcrap, sure it'll be rebooted after a while as always but it won't fail by a long shot. It's a good idea, just because it's branched out and different from your rather conservative must be the same usual suspect of Avengers, doesnt mean its a failure. It's nice to see variety every now and then, I'm not 100% keen on the lineup but i'm definetly giving it an open-minded shot.
Yes, that's why I refered to them as the New New Avengers, they are a new team. Was Iron Fist on the team? No. Was Strange? No. Was Whoever Ronin Is? No. Cap's gone from the lineup and so is Stark, they have to reintroduce it in a way.
What else did you wish them to do in 25 pages? Go to space, fight the silver surfer, Save the world from Galactus, Strange fails to find a cure for Iron Fist's pjama wearing fetish and Spider-Woman and Wolverine have a child with reality changing powers? No.
They did quite alot, it explained what Ronin had been up to for the last few months. Gave quite alot of action and quite alot of dialogue via Maya.
Either way, If you don't like it don't buy it.
