Secret Avengers by Rick Remender

review 1: The AvX tie-in is only tangential to the main storyline. I'm guessing since I haven't read the main storyline, but I understood everything so I don't think it was a major tie-in. That said, I wasn't overly impressed with the story itself.The second storyline continues the Crown and Shadow Council arc. It's moderately better but still not great. Venom gets some actual screen time. Eric O'Grady is revealed to be dead and one of my favorite characters is lost.
review 2: The second of Rick Remender's Secret Avengers books is unfortunately derailed by Avengers Vs. X-Men, which means that the first 3 issues, whilst decent as an AvX story, have no bearing on the Father/Shadow Council story that Remender was telling previously.The later four issues return to this story... more, and are all the better for it, with the culmination of some plot lines and the teasing of some new ones too. It is also quite heavy in good character moments, particularly for Venom, Ant-Man, and Valkyrie. The artwork in the AvX tie-in by Renato Geudes is very minimalist, letting the colourist do most of the talking, and very different to most Marvel books at the moment. Matteo Scalera's contributions on the final story are much more visceral, and convey lots of motion and high impact shots. Both are excellent in their own ways. less
