\u201cWhy don\u2019t women read comics? We just don\u2019t know!\u201d This month begins with Jessica Drew arriving at Stark Tower as Tony is talking to Maria Hill, acting head of SHIELD after what happened in Secret War. She is as uninterested in working with superheroes as Fury was in doing so. Cap steps in to say he has a \u201cfull champion license.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So\u2026 So Jess took Peter\u2019s water, I guess drank some, and gave it back? What\u2019s going on there? Gross. Don\u2019t drink after people you barely know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use of Marvel Handbook pictures is funny in a nerdy way, but also so funny. Does SHIELD make them pose like that upon arrest? Spider-Man is very embarrassed it\u2019s one of his guys. He and Cap should have seen Electro, they were the ones on the surface. Iron Man is able to quickly trace Electro\u2019s finances and find out he\u2019s made some transactions in Boston. Also, Tony says he\u2019s eaten at the same restaurant for the last 3 weeks. I kinda thought this was, like, the next day still, that\u2019s confusing. It does explain Peter\u2019s wrist being ok. Spider-Woman points out his phone records indicate he\u2019s seeing a waitress at said restaurant, so the team packs into a newly redesigned Quinjet to go to Boston. And\u2026 And Spider-Woman wonders why DD isn\u2019t with them since \u201che was there last night.\u201d I guess Electro was just living in Boston prior to the breakout and then went back? Getting a little confused. In Boston, Electro\u2019s gal is not thrilled to see him, as he hasn\u2019t seen her in weeks, and when he says he\u2019s come into some money and they need to leave, she intuits he did the prison break all over the news. And then\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spider-Man confronting one of his oldest foes with this much muscle was and is a very funny thing to me. Iron Man immediately traps him in a force bubble of some kind (Ultimate Thor fought Ultimate Electro for two whole comics!). Cage asks Spidey how he used to deal with Electro, and when he says he used to web up his hands and beat him up, Cage says, \u201cDo me up.\u201d\u00a0All very solid material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that this was Jess\u2019s plan and that it worked is extremely funny. Well, Karl Lykos, aka Sauron. But when the team tries to access his SHIELD file from the plane, it\u2019s locked, higher than Jess\u2019s clearance. Which means something fishy is going on. Cage asks who Karl Lykos is, and Spider-Man gives the back story. Because he\u2019s met just about everybody in the Marvel U. Then Spider-Woman notices the SHIELD outpost in the Savage Land has gone offline, and that\u2019s never supposed to happen, so suddenly, the New Avengers are headed to the Savage Land. Some real globe trotting, Marvel Universe stuff. Cage has never been to the Savage Land, and isn\u2019t sure what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean, Bendis is really going for some comedy bits here. I can see old heads being mad about it, but it\u2019s pretty funny! A T-Rex chases our heroes into the underbrush, where Cage and Spider-Woman stop to catch their breath. And then Luke notices something behind Jessica\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look who\u2019s finally joining the party! A random way to get dragged in, but there he is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
