It's some of Bendis' better work and without too much inane dialogue. I love reading Osborn with Willem Dafoe's voice, Moonstone with Sharon Stone's, Gargan's with, well, whoever performed him in the '90s cartoon, though I haven't got a good voice for Daken and I'm not even sure what sort of accent he might have. Japanese or German. I dunno.HardtravelingHerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08934695675331373414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-24042744928255989232010-11-05T01:07:35.318-05:002010-11-05T01:07:35.318-05:00@matches: In fairness to Bendis, a good ninety eig...@matches: In fairness to Bendis, a good ninety eight percent of the comic writer pool doesn't have the kind of nasty edge Warren Ellis does. That man can write some seriously screwed up **** when he wants to. Maybe Garth Ennis is another of those writers - though he can at times slide too far into gross or over the top - but that's about it.dl316bhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14779958088602323101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-31755471627983627612010-11-04T23:06:09.701-05:002010-11-04T23:06:09.701-05:00Personally, I'd suggest reading Utopia before ...Personally, I'd suggest reading Utopia before getting into Molecule Man, even though it's not penned by Bendis, but it does take place in between volume 1 and 2.<br /><br />Either way, I enjoyed DA while it lasted. Probably much more than most of Bendis' other Avengers work, which is strange considering this is an Avengers team consisting of the likes of Bullseye and Venom.MisterSmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02194566092087053138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-69437764614948770842010-11-04T13:42:31.166-05:002010-11-04T13:42:31.166-05:00This series was a nice extension of the Ellis T...This series was a nice extension of the Ellis T'Bolts. Bendis' run doesn't quite have the same nasty edge as Ellis' but it was a lot of fun. Loved Moonstone's "seduction" of Marvel Boy - Ares' reaction to MB's reaction is priceless.allstarmatcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16754758277080185925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-7396919147233270102010-11-04T12:49:13.219-05:002010-11-04T12:49:13.219-05:00I haven't particularly liked much of what Bend...I haven't particularly liked much of what Bendis has done since Daredevil, but I loved what he did here (and yes, there is some goodwill carryover from Deodato's Thunderbolts). His normally annoying dialogue (blathering Spider-Man) doesn't offend here as it is toned down a tad and works better through these particular voices. I've enjoyed these Dark Avengers books. Great review!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
