How \u2018bout a good comic, for old times\u2019 sake. This time out, New Avengers is drawn (and inked) by Leinil Francis Yu, a superstar of the moment I don\u2019t think has been on the blog yet. Yu essentially became a big name artist from his very first issue of Wolverine. His style made you take notice. I saw it in ads and immediately thought, \u201cWait, who\u2019s this?\u201d I bought a bunch of really bad Wolverine comics because of him. He\u2019s already pretty big, but he\u2019s the guy who draws the next big event, and he\u2019s still a major draw today (As much as any artist is anymore, at any rate). Due to the nature of these tie-ins having to support the main book, time becomes very fluid. Here, we rewind to just before the Registration Act went into effect during Civil War 2. Dave McCaig colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jessica with the important questions. The whole \u201ceveryone with powers has to be a cop\u201d angle is patently insane, and clearly tacked on to make registration seem worse in view of the meager arguments against it. What about all the mutants? They get their powers as early as, like, 10 years old. You gotta be a 10-year old cop?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complicated. Jessica says she has to take the still-unnamed Baby Cage and flee to Canada, and she wants Luke to come with them. But he says he\u2019s not leaving. That he wants to let the people of the neighborhood see what the government does to him. He says he\u2019s got unbreakable skin and he\u2019s been to jail, they can\u2019t do anything to him. So, after a tearful good-bye, Jessica bundles the kid and a bunch of their stuff into a car and drives way. As he\u2019s watching them go, a neighborhood kid asks Luke if he\u2019s going to sign. He says he\u2019s going to go sit in his home and bother no one, something they should all be allowed to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The miscommunication required for Gabe Jones to be colored like a white person seems like it should have been corrected before this got to print. Cage proceeds to go to war with the stormtroopers, really destroying his building, endangering the people he says he\u2019s fighting for, but of course it\u2019s not presented that way. The SHIELD guys get him with a \u201cgenetic paralyser\u201d that seems to be doing its job, and then an old man shoots at them with a regular gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I looked up the timeline because I couldn\u2019t remember. They had not yet revealed to the public who this Daredevil was, so he\u2019s not telling in the comic, either. Thus, as they get Luke to his feet and start fighting their way through the goons, Luke\u2019s best friend in the whole world pretends to be someone else, and gets away with it, which all seems really wrong. Anyway, they steal a tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rebels seem to have the momentum at this point. I didn\u2019t read the Iron Man tie-ins. I kind of want to this time through, just to see what they were like. Well, anyway. A mere nine posts after Civil War 2, let\u2019s take a look at Civil War 3\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
