REVIEW: New Avengers, #29

[CBR News]

Reed Richards catches everyone up on the last eight months in Jonathan Hickman, Kev Walker and Scott Hanna's "New Avengers" #29.


Full review here.

Yeah, got to say Kev Walker, as much as I like his art, may not be perfect for this. Especially considering how (revealed in Avengers #37), Franklin is still alive, but Walker really did not convey that well here.

His arms are wrapped around Reed's neck, that's enough for me

This reviewer seems to have missed a few things (like Franklin is NOT dead), but I'm glad he too was wondering lack of reaction to Namor's death.

I'm not that surprised about the lack of reaction because in one respect I think they probably knew it was coming eventually but suspected it might have been the rest of the Cabal that would turn on him.

I really don't see how Franklin could be dead when you see no real reaction from Sue. I think Reed is holding him because their had to be some strain on Franklin with what they were trying to do.

Hickman didn't convey that very well either. His words lead one to believe that Franklin died (or suffered great harm) in that attempt.

[Tony Stark]

I really enjoyed this issue. Alot of people were knocking the Illuminati for not trying this or that or going to Frankiln and it goes to show that they did.

[Froggy]

I'm kinda surprised at how many people thought Franklin was dead. That'd definitely be a downer moment. That last page was killer though!

[peterporker]

Two things I think should be corrected in the review:

1. Franklin not being dead

2. Nowhere is said in this issue that the Beyonders "are the last hope the universe", while Strange in a previous issue said the Great Destroyer and The Beyonders were both after the End of Everything.

It was already established prior to this that Franklin survived his attempt to solve the problem. Not sure what everyone is going on about.

[glennc]

The confusion comes from Reed being portrayed as still visibly upset and the phrase about enduring great costs.

Why is Reed still so upset? What great costs? When did this attempt with Franklin occur? Are we sure it happened before Reed and Sue talked?

Thought the whole 'we tried this' bits were rushed. What happened to captain Britain? What happened to franklin? Lots of room for speculation.
