New Avengers #4

How about that metallic foil cover? That would have cost us 50 cents extra a couple years ago. (Although I suppose the silver on the Zero Hour covers was free, right?)

Bendis brings a lot of action this issue, but a lot of it is still against those fairly generic, magic ghosts. There is a fun sequence with Iron Fist rocking a new uniform where he lectures Dr. Strange, but overall not a ton changes here.

I'm enjoying all the pages Bendis spends on the prime magic-users of the Marvel U. Dr. Strange, Dr. Voodoo, and Daimon Hellstrom don't get along, but they are entertaining.

Stuart Immonen's art is wonderful. I love the new Iron Fist suit. I also love seeing Immonen drawing the Thing again. He looks perfectly bulky, giving him a nice role on this team as the strong guy.

I'll have to search out a visual of the new Iron Fist suit - it has to be better than the rubbish tweak we've had to his original suit of late. Honestly, the slit shirt with big tattoo is classic, why 'zip him up' and paint the dragon on top? Grrr etc.

This is closer to the zipped up look, but it is styling in white and gold. I couldn't help but be impressed!
