Its an all new Marvel Team-Up book for those people who don’t want it to be called Marvel Team-Up! I don’t know how I never picked up on the fact that “avenging” would mean the Avengers. This book will team up Spidey with another character in the Avengers corner of Marvel each and every issue. First off, Spidey and the Avengers take down a large AIM robot. Pete needs a ride back to NY and its the Red Hulk’s leaping ability that gets them there. They arrive just in time to fight off a Moloid invasion. Well, try to. A giant monster captures our heroes and the mayor of New York, J Jonah Jameson, is brought before the Mole Man. Swerve! There’s a new king of the Marvel underground and its not our happy go lucky dangerous but harmless Mole Man.
The book is a lot of fun. No need for this comic to get layers of Spider-Man’s history and deep character development. Just grab Spidey, another hero, and have shit happen then see how they react to each other. Really really fun book that I’ll actually be looking forward to each month.
Oh, in regards to Joe Madureira’s art. I agree with Erik Larsen. It looks beautiful, but would have been that much better with an inker.
