But still, this means that Mighty Avengers won't be caught up till freaking March! Well, at least it should come out on time with Frank Cho off pencils, even if it won't look as pretty.

I agree with many of your assessments. The extraordinarily condensed storyline is tiring. It feels like watching an season of "24" if the episodes were a half-hour and happened once a month. And though Yu's art can look dynamic when doing action, I don't like the look of his faces or gestures (the fact that he's more of an action artist makes him seem like a bad fit for a Bendis book). Still, this issue was pretty enjoyable due to what many people have said. I keep thinking I'm going to stop buying this book, but I like these characters and I'm trigued by the idea of them as a team (I do wish Iron Fist was more like his own title. His characterization still feels a bit off to me). And though it can be jokey at times, Bendis can write good dialog. Damn you, Bendis, looks like I'm sticking around for #35.... Excellent review.

I will offer some more thoughts on the Skrull business. I think Peter Parker has a point, even if he was joking...what if there are sleeper skrulls? It would make a lot of sense if there ends up being a big reveal. Also, just because Dr. Strange did the spell doesn't mean he's genuine. There wasn't much elaboration on his "true self". I think the hints are pointing to the fact that at least one person in the Illumacrappy is a Skrull. Even money says its Reed Richards, but Dr. Strange could be a good candidate too. Jessica Jones is STILL a candidate because she still hasn't answered Wong's question about breastfeeding the baby. Also…I’m not even going to bring up continuity because there’s no point anymore.

When was the last time a Bendis Avengers issue actually had plot movement, actual fighting, and good character interaction? Plus a decent cliffhanger to boot...maybe Im just feeling groovy this morning. I don’t fellas but I’m feeling pretty satisfied by this latest issue.

At least you could say Civil War could have taken over six months to finish due to possible time gaps between and even during issues.

Has that changed? Also on the Doctor Strange front: The Marvel Tarot made a big deal out of pointing out that the Sorceror Supreme title was a legacy deal, and now it is mentioned again here. Even the tarot cards had suggested that every 1 out of 10 times Ian McNell was The Magician card. I just got a feeling that they want to do something bad to the good Doctor. Also, Brian K. Vaughn (sp?) wrote both The Hood and The Oath. Looks to me lke they really wanted to build on his stories.

This also proves that George Bush, as seen in Avengers: The Intiative, was a Skrull...he wanted to stay on the 'Ranch' with his SKRULL COW MASTERS!

"Yesterday" for our Avengers was the E.M.P. in Mighty #1, but everything in the first four issues of Mighty has taken just a few hours to occur, I believe... So, by the time that story ends, we could leap directly (though not very naturally) into the next big crisis. And this is the problem that I have with decompression... The first 26 issues of this book apparently took place in just a matter of weeks, and the last 7 seem to have taken just a couple of days. How do we make the time-frames fit? I don't think anybody knows, and I don't think it's a priority for Marvel. Wasn’t the whole “world overrun by symbiotes” thing done before?

Considering how long lived Orson Randall was, I don't think Danny has to worry about giving up the Iron Fist title for quite awhile. It was good to see everyone in the team back off of each others throat and bond a bit. Ouch, first time I’ve ever felt bad for Wolverine, even if it does grow back.
