*SPOILERS*
There's lots of good stuff in this volume. I liked the scenes of a teenage girl confronted by a supercriminal who has shown up to collect his supercriminal widget, which her father bought for his collection. She's trying not to get casually killed by this guy with the power to level her house, but keeps offending him by not ever having heard of him. He finds her sunning herself by the pool, and starts demanding his widget, and hinting that he's going to kidnap her.
The text gets suggestive, but Marvel doesn't want to go too far: "Please let me put some clothes on."
"I just did hard time, so that's a no."
Then the Avengers show up before the artist can do more shots of the girl in a skimpy bikini. It's okay, though, Spider-Woman is on the team, there will be plenty of cheesecake.
In general, this book cemented my opinion that this series will deliver Avengers-style-fun with Bendis' delightful dialogue.
