Book Reviews of New Avengers, Vol. 6: Revolution (v. 6)
Book Review: For fans and casual readers alike
Summary: 5 Stars
New Avengers: Revolution collects New Avengers #26-31, originally published between 2006 and 2007. The issues take place after the events of Civil War (collected in Civil War and Civil War: Avengers) and lead into Secret Invasion (collected in Secret Invasion, New Avengers Vol. 8: Secret Invasion, Book 1, and New Avengers Vol. 9: Secret Invasion, Book 2). Some familiarity with the former is necessary to fully appreciate what's going on in this graphic novel, but enough context is supplied to prevent new readers from being lost.
Story-wise, this is one of Brian Michael Bendis's best contributions to the New Avengers series. Issue #26, which re-introduces Clint Barton (formerly Hawkeye) after his apparent death in Avengers Disassembled, offers a quiet and tender single-issue love story. The remainder of the graphic novel tells of the New Avengers' post-Civil War activities. As some reviewers have noted, the plot is a little convoluted (the exposition jumps back and forth in time), but it is not difficult to follow.
As for the art, Alex Maleev's work on issue #26 is simply beautiful. His coloring provides a sensuousness rare for superhero books, while his delicate pencils expertly foreground Clint's emotional struggle. Leinil Yu's work for the rest of the graphic novel is in a more traditional superhero style, but it is also excellent. Fight scenes in particular are laid out beautifully, battling figures drawn like agile dancers.
For casual readers, this graphic novel will provide an enjoyable read. For collectors or those planning to read the entire New Avengers series, you're better off buying the hardcover New Avengers, Vol. 3, which collects issues #21-31 as well as a number of one-shots.
