A review by duskvstweak
Dark Avengers, Volume 1: Assemble by Brian Michael Bendis

4.0

I forgot how annoying Bendis can be on team books. Or with villains. Or in general.
Still, this is a great read, with tones of action and character moments. The idea is such an evil one you have to love it, even if you can't wait to see the characters get their heads kicked in. The art is just gorgeous and makes this book so enjoyable.
Bendis, on the other hand, writes dialogue that makes me want to beat my head into a wall. Not all the time, but when he writes a team book, it just shows up more often than not. The "..." and "um" use goes on to the point of insanity. But when you have a character like Norman Osborn and Venom using those tics, it's just ridiculous.
Either way, it's still good and great to look at, even if the characters talk like a teenager in a mall.
