Secret Avengers #12 (Published by Marvel Comics; Review by David Pepose; 'Rama Rating: 5 out of 10):

I usually love this series, but it feels like Secret Avengers #12 is lacking, well, much in the way of secrets. Writer Ales Kot had been doing a great job with his wackier take on Marvel's black ops unit, but now that he has to unspool the mystery before this story's inevitable conclusion... it feels like a comedian explaining his jokes ad nauseum. The story doesn't progress as much as it has before, with characters just delivering exposition to each other before the final showdown. Artist Michael Walsh, however, continues to sell the mood and scratchy style of this comic, making it easy on the eyes, especially when we check in on Black Widow and Lady Bullseye in Tlon. Still, even he isn't able to make a trip to the Venezuelan rainforest look interesting, as there's just too much blank space (including three splash pages of the bad guys' lair.) While there are a couple of gags that still hit the mark, on the whole this is a misstep for a usually rock-solid sleeper hit.

Secret Avengers #14 (Published by Marvel Comics; Review by David Pepose; 'Rama Rating: 7 out of 10):

"We simply have to go with the flow and imagine a better game." Secret Avengers may be a confounding book for mainstream purists, but Ales Kot injects a loopy and occasionally wise sensibility to this superhero spy book. For those who haven't been reading - and even for some who have - this is not the issue to jump in on, as Kot is in full swing, as M.O.D.O.K. and the Secret Avengers are trying to stop a one-time henchman from bringing an extradimensional monster into the world. Sometimes Kot's message gets to be a little much - Spider-Woman beating Snapper with the power of empathy, for example, rings a little hollow when you think about all the people Snapper's killed - but as a whole, this book's progressiveness and surprising cheer reads very different than any other book on the market. Michael Walsh's artwork is elevated by some electrifying colors by Matthew Wilson - Walsh's storytelling is superb (like a very funny bit about Hawkeye's suction arrow picking up an item and spitting it across the field), even if occasionally some of the inks make it hard to follow.
