Finished reading U.S.Avengers: American Intelligence Mechanics, picking up from where writer Al Ewing’s New Avengers series left off as the team lead by former New Mutant, Roberto Da Costa begin a new mission statement. The book opens with the team making shots videos stating what the live about living in America as they are in a fight trying to stop a floating volcanic island from reaching California. After stopping the island the team are met by Danelle Cage, the Captain America of 20XX who has come in need to the teams help to stop a villain from her time, the Golden Skull. The next story sees the newest Red Hulk, General Robert Maverick on a mission to stop a rampaging American Kaiju in Lichenbad where Maverick finds himself having to work with Deadpool. The penultimate story sees Roberto meting Captain America, his boss at S.H.I.E.L.D. to talk about recent events and his role within S.H.I.E.L.D. and with the book then counting by tying with the beginning of Secret Empire as Steve becomes more of a hands on boss. Overall this was a great book as it begins a new series that reinvents the A.I.M. based Avengers team due to its ties with S.H.I.E.L.D. and the American government along with a slight chance to the teams roster. The amount of character development within the book is great as each team member is given enough time to develop as characters along with the relationships they have between one another and show how these effects the team overall. The art throughout the book is great as it brings the action scenes to life incredibly well while also doing a great job in bring the more drama based scenes to thanks to how well each character is able to emote. 8/10.
