Finished reading Captain America and the Mighty Avengers: Open For Business, this begins writer Al Ewing's second Mighty Avengers series as the team deal with the events and aftermath of Marvel's Axis event. The book opens up with an inverted Sam Wilson Captain America planning to get rid of the Mighty Avengers with Iron Man and the other inverted heroes as they are not with them. Meanwhile the leader of the Mighty Avengers, Luke Cage who has also been inverted, try's to make money on the Mighty Avengers by selling their rights to the Cortex corporation only to realise that he doesn't own the Mighty Avengers as its split between each member. The rest of the book deals with the aftermath of Marvel's Axis event as Sam is in the Mighty Avengers board room questioning about his role as Captain America after being affected by the inversion while Luke Cage is still pretending to be invented so he can find out what Cortex's boss Jason Quantrell is up to. As this is going on White Tiger and Power Man are assisting the police in the murder of Gideon Mace who is becoming a monstrous creature thanks to the upgrade in powers that the Inhuman Quickfire got from her boss Jason Quantrell which turned her into a demonic creature. Overall this was a great book as it shows how the events of Axis affects the members of the Mighty Avengers while also bringing the fun and lightheartedness of the previous series as well. The way that the inversion effects the team is handled extremely well thanks to Sam's thought boxes and how the Mighty Avengers deal with Luke Cage's inversion is very interesting. While during the aftermath of the two characters being inverted Sam seems to take it very personally which allows writer Al Ewing to craft a great conversation between Sam and Monica about his place on the team along with how Sam deals with his teammates being turned into monsters helps to bring some nice character development. The art is great as artists Luke Ross and Lban Coello do a great job in capturing the fast paced action and monstrous designs for characters are depicted brilliantly. 8/10.
