New Avengers 16-17: More than half of this run has been event tie-in issues and crossovers, so it's damn impressive that it has managed to maintain momentum despite all that. Ewing has done this primarily by continuing to do his thing no matter what banner is on the front of the book. Both the Standoff issues and this CWII crossover have very little to do with their respective events, and everything to do with the continuing conflict between AIM, SHIELD and WHISPER. Enjoyed these issues and can't wait to see how it all ends.
