A gentleman would never kiss and tell.

Four scans from Mighty Avengers #29.

This issue continues with the approximately 200 subplots currently ongoing, including the one where Cassie finds out that Fake!Wanda is evil (well, she already knew that, but this is where she confirmed it), is magically cursed not to say anything, and manages to maneouvre the Young Avengers (and Ronin) into a fight with her without being able to explain why.

I had some issues with Slott's Cassie in some earlier issues, but she's been good in this story.



Heh.

Eventually, Clint decides it may not be Wanda, and, with some help from Wiccan and Patriot, gets close enough to try his infallible detecting method:





Cassie finally gets to explain about the current Inhuman villain, and proclaims "Avengers Assemble" (by which she means: the New Avengers, the Mighty Avengers, the Young Avengers, the Initiative group, and even the Dark Avengers).

Other observations:

1)  I bet Clint finds any excuse to use that detection technique.

2)  I imagine someone will turn out some Clint/Wanda!Loki fic on the basis of that second page.

3)  Again, nice display of powers Wiccan, you managed to mess with a Norse God.

Is an Inhuman superweapon in China really cause for an all out Avengers Assemble?

More villains should say "YOU SHALL ALL DIE SCREAMING!"

How do you think he knew Bucky wasn't Steve?

I haven't really been reading this, but has this book had a regular artist for more than two issues? Didn't Stuart Immonen do the last issue?

Wow, this looked funny. Is Clint always this "perceptive"?

It's nice to see the Young Avengers being made useful. And I love the Hawkeye's interacting.

So is this arc over now. And what's in store for the next one? I am curious now.

I would not be at all surprised if Bruce also knows that technique. And possibly Tony.

I'd like to talk to the person who thought a voice-activated gag was a good idea. I think they'd be interesting.

2) I imagine someone will turn out some Clint/Wanda!Loki fic on the basis of that second page.

Considering that the only way that scene could have worked was if he had kissed her before, then... Yeah.

Really hate the "let's ask the villains to help! they totally should because they want the world to be safe and all, and I'm sure they wouldn't immediately try and capture us or work against us in the course of the battle!" storyline. The only time it works is with honor code type villains. And half the time they break their word anyway. It's just stupid.

Get over yourself Loki, this is surely more tolerable than the time you got knocked up by a horse.

Also, Clint, given Wanda is erratic as hell and you totally took her by surprise, it's not really conclusive. Dope.

Also, 'show us the truth' appears to be revealing a Sif-arm - is this set before Loki took on his male form again? These timelines are really confusing.

[kosaginolegion.insanejournal.com]

Y'know, if all of his/her villanous bombast was done with some sign that Loki's tongue is firmly in cheek, I'd have a lot more tolerance for Marvel's take on her/him. Because part of the joy of trickster gods is teh funny.

Also, the English language needs better gender neutral pronouns than variants of "they".

Honestly my only comment on this issue is STOP BEING CREEPY, JOCASTA.

Hah!

I can't wait to see Clint's face when he finally realises he was kissing Loki!
