Mighty Avengers #26

This issue was a big improvement over last month's confusing character-work. There is still some weird stuff going on with Hank Pym, but it is looking a little more like Dan Slott's plan for where to take the character and the team is still in line with what I want to see. Pym's Avengers continue their assault on the Baxter Building, with Hercules taking on the Thing and Vision going up against the Human Torch. Cho controls a horde of ants disguised as Skrulls to get Invisible Woman to leave the building, but Stature turns on her team and lets the FF know what the Avengers are planning.

It was fun seeing the battle of the brains with Pym and Mr. Fantastic. The dialogue between the two of them was a nice mix of pompousness and respect at the other scientist's inventions. I still think both guys are acting like bigger jerks than I'd prefer, and I don't like the idea of Mr. F deciding who can handle what tech in the Marvel U. I liked that Pym's Salvation 2 project seemed to swing Mr. F over to Pym's point of view. There is certainly some weirdness going on with Jocasta though. Making out with a robot with your dead wife's brain pattern is not exactly a healthy stage of grieving, I'd think.

Stephen Segovia's art has the same flaws it did last issue. The women have balloon-like breasts and they contort their bodies to make sure they have maximum visibility to the reader. The artwork is a little dark, but the action is clear enough.

Good
