Just the \u201cA\u201d art team this month. Chris Bachalo is has taken the world\u2019s most confusing fight scenes elsewhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pretty funny. The Eye manifests a bunch of little bubbles with Marvel magic people in there, with Strange hypothesizing that it\u2019s appearing before all his would-be successors simultaneously. Why\u2026 did it take 3 issues to do that? Then it disappears, presumably having zipped off to the new boss, and then, this being a Bendis comic with a Quinjet in it, the Quinjet is shot down. Madame Masque has hit them with a missile launcher. Wolverine has them eject him from the plane so he can\u2026 do\u2026 something\u2026 and this being a Bendis comic with Wolverine in it, what he does is get jobbed out to Madame Masque with a machine gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That is some drawing of Spider-Woman. She fights Masque in a smokescreen til Bucky hits Maque with his thrown shield and she falls off a roof and disappears. Half the team is still in the plane. Which was, like, crashing awhile ago, but is now safely landed on a roof? Clint says Masque is rumored to be Hood\u2019s girlfriend. How would he have heard this rumor? Strange is worried the Hood is already here and killed the Eye\u2019s new owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now, I can\u2019t claim to have a lot of past experience with the Son of Satan, there, but I feel RELATIVELY CONFIDENT he didn\u2019t talk like that in the 70s. But, whatever, it\u2019s kind of funny to have such a belligerent dude-bro character in a superhero book. The Eye then appears to both of them, and they proceed to have a big magic fight, the lights of which just happen to be visible from the downed Quinjet, what luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t really understand why they\u2019re so gung ho to get Masque. She isn\u2019t the mission, and she\u2019s also probably running back to the Hood, and they know where the Hood is. He\u2019s just pushed Hellstrom out a window, and their fight spills down into the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Hood is suddenly looking an awful lot like Vengeance, from 90s Ghost Rider comics, but I assume he\u2019s supposed to look like Dormammu, and the fact that neither Hellstrom nor Dr. Strange seem to catch this seems odd. Meanwhile, the portion of the team chasing Masque has prompted her to take a hostage, good job, but then Bucky shoots her in the face with a sniper rifle. Don\u2019t worry, her mask(que) took the hit, she\u2019s fine. Then they see the big kaboom over at Hellstrom\u2019s house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oooooooh boy, did I not remember that dialect! BRUDDER VOODOO. My God, Bendis. I sure remembered that insane looking hand, tho. \u201cBrudder\u201d Voodoo has hands like a xenomoprh. Well, there he is. Earth\u2019s new Sorcerer Supreme is Brother Voodoo. I don\u2019t think anyone saw that coming. We last saw Brother Voodoo in New Avengers 30<\/a>, talking like a regular person. Maybe he\u2019s drunk now.\u00a0 He\u2019s on Bourbon Street, after all\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
