Bendis may be overhypped but he does write some fun comics. This showcases some of his strength in writing dialog that flows like a normal conversation. It's not perfect but it's fun to read. Particularly the Peter Parker/Jessica Jones convo. I am glad he revealed himself to the New Avengers again after his identity was erased from everyone's memory in Brand New Day. Also glad to see Dr. Strange back in the mix.

Love the Dr. Strange stuff and how it mixes with the Hood story line.

Though this is one of the weaker volumes in this run I still had lots of fun reading it. Though it’s also not strong in the technical sides, the art is inconsistent and the storyline is dragged out, then it gets interesting in the last issue and it’s time for the next volume.

If you like Bendis it’s an enjoyable read if you don’t it won’t work for you. It’s a Doctor Strange story focus which sounds good on paper but isn’t so here.

I feel like they take out Dorrmamu way too easily, also Clint is still trying to take down Norman Osborn through media. Though this leads to a Spidey stand out moment which I loved with him and his no killing.

Overall it feels more like it’s spinning the wheels and going nowhere. But it’s put together well enough to be enjoyable.

3 stars.

A lot of fun, but I've gotta admit, The Hood is getting old fast. The "reveal" of Parker Robbins' "secret" is not really much of one and, frankly, who cares anymore.
That said, the renegade Avengers are at an interpersonal peak here and the return of Dr. Stragne is welcome.
And I'll say it again, Bendis NAILS Spider-Man.
