Dark Avengers Annual #1 (2010)

This 2010 Annual, just released December 3, 2009 but with a cover date of February 2010, sets the stage for the next and logical chapter in Marvel's crossover Universe, next big event, . The creative team is composed of writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Chris Bachalo. Personally, I'd have dumped this were it not for Bachalo's arrestingly moody an beautifully atmospheric visuals. I don't like Bendis' awful handling of his recent Marvel titles, and this one is no different, particularly the "surprise ending" that completely spoiled my expectations in a certain great but still ongoing Marvel miniseries. But don't mind my ramblings--see for yourself.

Bendis and Bachalo launch from the pages of New Avengers and reunite for this very important DOUBLE-SIZED chapter in the Dark Avengers saga. Captain Marvel a.k.a. Marvel Boy found out he was surrounded by madmen and villains and ran for the hills. But no one gets out of Osborn's grip that easyÖWill a new hero rise in the Marvel Universe or will Captain Marvel be seduced to the dark side? Also, the Sentry's true self revealed!! --
