New Avengers #30

New Avengers #30
Finally Bendis gets done with the Pulp Fiction thing and decides to tell a linear story. Thank god. And he finally tells us who the new Ronin is: Clint Barton. What? Since when does he have ninja skills? Whatever. And the drawn out double page spreads at the end of the book are confusing. But the dialogue is good. And the story seems to be searching for some way to undo most of the damage done to the Marvel Universe by the Civil War debacle, so that's good too. Clint Barton crowns Spidey the king of stupid for coming out on national TV. Niiice. Brother Voodoo leaves without a fight - which somehow I don't think was the original intention, being that a couple issues ago, Spidey asked "can we go back to fighting Brother Voodoo?" I just want to see this story back on track, and I'd like to see Bendis' hinted at resolution to Civil War worked on openly a bit more. And again, what the hell does this have to do with the Initiative to banner it a crossover? OKAY, I guess.
