The old Captain America is back and along with the new one investigates the men and the security around the Avengers’ mentioned that has been overtaken by Norman Osborn and his Dark Avengers. Elsewhere, Spider-man and Spider-woman are on a double date fighting villains and making sure neither is a Skrull spy. This is a filler story like much of the stories that have been featured in this series to give enough time for Bendis to tackle bigger issues in many other books. During the Secret Invasion series, this comic book was again relegated to the back burner, but at least it featured profile type of stories on about the Secret Invasion and its main players. Here, this story is the type that made the Avengers an not so interesting series way back in the 1980s. There is nothing here, except for punchy one lines by the characters and fake character development and characterisation contradicted by the unified voices all characters have. Visually it’s more interesting, but the colouring in the Immonen segment was poorer than the one in the Acuna.

Rating: 6.5 /10
