Book of Doom: New Avengers #35
In the past weeks, we’ve picked some downright duds for Book of Doom, our roundtable review. This week’s pick, at the very least, should kick up a lively discussion. See, we Doomers really don’t like each other. And if there’s a lightning rod for this enmity, it’s surely the writing of Brian Michael Bendis.
This weekend, we’ll all barricade ourselves in a room and have it out over New Avengers #35. By “room,” of course, I mean the Internet (which remains in one piece). The good news for you is that you can join in by logging on to the Internet, coming here, telling us how stupid we are, and… Oh, wait, that’s all you need to do.
How many pop culture references can Bendis fit in an issue? Will the team fight, or just banter wittily? Will Fin Fang Doom finally admit Bendis isn’t the anti-Christ? At the very least, we’ll finally have the answer to how awesome it is when Wolverine combines with a Venom symbiote!!!
Was that sarcasm? You tell me.

I’m loving New Avengers at the minute… Bendis seems to have finally “got it”.
What sucks is that the book has finally found its place and become a must read everymonth and now Yu is leaving to do Secret Invasion.
