![]() ![]() For every stoic Luke Cage or Doctor Strange monologue, there’s a Spider-Man or Iron Fist wisecrack that maintains the comic’s overall equilibrium. Bendis does a great job developing characters and balancing the panel-time shared with every member so even though Cage is leading the team, it would never be considered “Luke Cage and friends” (similarly, Bendis is able to write Wolverine into a supporting role without making it the Logan show like other writers are so tempted to do). The Highsīendis has organized a team of Defenders, X-Men, and solo artists that, despite their diverse origins, play well off of one another within a team dynamic. ![]() ![]() The New Avengers lineup contains a diverse group of hard hitters as well as some who allow for some light-hearted moments, and in these seventeen issues they face a pretty daunting lineup of some A-list villains. While Bendis’s writing is consistent, we get a look at several different artists such as Neal Adams, Mike Deodato Jr, Michael Gaydos, Michael Avon Oeming, and Carlos Pacheco. This huge span of work bridges multiple story arcs and even a crossover event. ![]() This collection contains 440 pages of Bendis’s closing work on New Avengers, covering issues #16.1 and #17-#34.
