Since I cursed the Bitching thread with that Hank Pym atrociousness, I figured I'd grace this thread with some equally awesome stuff from Dark Avengers. I enjoyed the whole issue, but this stuff stood out.
Whore.
Anyways, Osborn comes and tasks them with a mission. The Secretary of State (who controls their budget) called in a favor because his daughter is missing. Apparently, it's in a town called Dinosaur, Colorado. But the plot thickens! Hundreds of people have gone missing from that town and the surrounding counties as of late, mostly just people passing through. So, Osborn sends Sentry to investigate.
And he gets exploded.
So, after assembling a goddamn army, here we are. Karla offers to take point because she can go intangible.

Bagley's art seems to finally be leveling out, it seemed really off to me in his DC works so far. At least that's what I'm getting from those scans, I don't have this weeks books yet.

His Despero is really really good, and the colorist on this book really makes things stand out, like magic.
I see Beyonder, Mephisto, Enchantress and Nightmare, but is that Zarathos?
The guy who you think is Nightmare is actually Molecule Man. You can tell due to the scars on his face. And I don't know who Zarathos is but if it's the flame head guy I think that's Dormamuu.

Re.: DA
Didn't Sentry's wife melt his face off last issue with a laser gun? Did they resolve that already?
DA hooked me right off the bat. I love these guys, I'm glad I decided not to drop this book.
World's Most Wanted is finally over. Tony succeeded in deleting his brain. Apparently he is so utterly braindead now that his body doesn't even know how to do simple functions such as breathing.
Even though the arc is over in name, the story ended with a pretty major cliffhanger and it is far from over.
However, I gotta say that the scene where Osborn was desperately trying to win and salvage something from Tony was a pretty big moment. And Stark's simple response of "I win" was pretty good, since at the time, Osborn had no idea what was going on. It makes Stark's victory all the sweeter.
Hopefully in the coming issues we'll see some more adventures of the girl pals -- Potts, Hill, and Romanov.
Seriously though. I would read a comic about Iron Potts.
Karla has no infatuation with Hawkeye/Bullseye any more than she did with new Cpt. Marvel, her MO is using her sexuality in order to build assets within the group.
Cpt. Marvel? Fairly powerful, a good asset to have if everything in Osborn's new world order imploded. Hawkeye? Turning out to be fairly formidable. Not to mean that he'll go all lovey-dovey and try and protect her when the shit hits the fan, he'd probably just save her for last.
I'd actually like to start a pool to bet on who she tries to sleep with after she's done her thang with Hawkeye. My money would be either on Ares, or maybe try to squirm in-between Sentry and his wife.

If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten in your presence.

I thought Molecule Man was Mordo.
And I care about Karla about as much as I do Carol. (Why do they have such similar names?)
Im loving manically depressed Venom. But they are taking some liberties, I would've thought the symbiote could easily deal with nanites and medication.
Man, I really don't want to like DA, since it's essentially New Thunderbolts, but it's too good a book for me to maintain my prejudice against the characters.
Streets of Gotham this week just reminded me how much I miss Birds of Prey and the full Manhunter series. Anyone have a scan of the last page of the Manhunter backup, with the newspaper?

I'm glad you've finally overcome your prejudice against Osborn-Americans!
Nah, I still think it's mostly a team of shitbags, but they get into the most entertaining scuffles and I don't mind seeing them get beat up. Plus, I like Sentry, Marvel Boy, and Ares.

The thing with them is that they all enjoy getting beaten up. They enjoy it and you kinda laugh at it when they get beaten and then just smile and come back for more until they're completely done and they'e all playing each other and in conflict which is a lot more interesting than general secret identity bull and lame turmoil that the heroes go through. Its why I want Dark Reign to stick around.
Marvel Boy needs to do something besides.. whatever he's doing. Get back to turning the world into a Kree paradise damnit! And where's Oubliette the Exterminatrix?

Seriously though, who are they?
Guessing the rest are constructs of Dormammu, Mephisto, Enchantress, and some big guy.

You know she'd go there, if only to mock him after if he was a let down. But yeah, does she have a compulsion or something?
So, yeah she would.
Also, lack of getting it on with Ares?
Oh Karla, sniff, you seem so far gone now.....
Plus Bagley draws a very good Zatanna, it's like his DC version of Songbird:
