Big finish! Yes, really, this story is only 4 issues. Just maximum carnage in minimal space. It opens with a flashback drawn by Olivier Coipel. Real “pre-2012 depictions of women in comics”…

Avengers 502
I mean, haven’t enough of them died already? Jack of Hearts came back and re-died, Ant-Man died, Vision died as much as an android can. And a few of the non-dead ones…
Avengers 500 & 501
When we found out Bendis got Avengers, obviously, we were excited. I had recently bailed on the book for the first time since the Busiek/Perez #1 we very very briefly looked at…
