Locking goodness:
Avengers: What the fuck happened here? Four issues
ago, Black Panther punched Red Skull's jaw OFF. With his gloves off, so
Red Skull would be slapped about by his dirty black skin. That was
AWESOME. And now? THE SEARCH FOR SHE-HULK! What the fuck? SHE-HULK? As
if the universe wasn't ruined enough by the creation of a fictional
character called SHE-HULK, now they have to go and actively SEARCH for
her? And it's not even a search! It's what, a four-issue story, and
they found her in issue one! Now they're fighting her! It should have
been called THE FIGHT WITH SHE-HULK, WHERE THE ARTIST SEEMS TO REALLY
LIKE DRAWING HER WITH LACY PURPLE UNDERWEAR. Ah, I get it - Chuck
Austen's the next writer, so Geoff Johns is trying to ease us
seamlessly into Austen's stories by upping the mediocrity of his own
stories. CLEVER.
Daredevil: In-fucking-terminable! Aren't there some sort of
legal grounds for having Mack forcibly ejected and Bendis brought back
on? Even an appearance by Wolverine doesn't make this story
interesting! It's fucking DULL!
The Crew: Awww, why does this have to end? Oh yeah, because
WHITEY KEEPS THE MAN DOWN!
JLA Avengers: Now it's the SQUEEZE ALL THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS IN
issue! Hal! You're back! Wow, so are you, LEGIONS OF BORING DEAD
SUPERHEROES! It's clear that the entire plot of the crossover was
wrenched into position to make way for this loosely-connected string of
scenes that exist only so older incarnations of characters can make
their dubious cameos.
