While I have been reading Avengers for the last year since its relaunch, I have not been loving it. Part of it has been due to Brian Michael Bendis’ apparent desire to throw everything-but-the-kitchen-sink into the action. Unfortunately, I haven’t found John Romita, Jr. to be a good fit for the title because I don’t believe his strength is big action set pieces. I’m happy to see Chris Bachalo taking on the Fear Itself tie-in arc beginning with issue #13. His current run on X-Men has been some of the best work of his career and, based on these preview pages, he seems like a great fit for Avengers and the big, fun stories that Bendis has been aiming for.
Alan Davis—who draws a great Thor—will provide the cover for the series during this run.

In an effort by Tony Stark, the rebuilding of Asgard begins, but will they be stopped even before they begin? It’s the calm before the storm as the threat of the Red Skull and the other hammer wielding Worthy looms over the Marvel Universe. When the time comes, which of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes will rally their teammates to battle – and which will succumb to the Serpent’s influence? Find out this May, only in Avengers #13!
