This was great. Bendis really hit home with a lot of these characters.
Just off the cuff (as usual), we get Iron Man, Black Bolt, Namor, Dr. Strange, Reed Richards, Professor Xavier all meeting in Wakanda at Black Panther's castle. This is sometime soon after the Kree-Skrull where Tony states that need some sort of emergency council to regulate. Immediately Panther backs out and asks them to leave.
The next incident involves a meeting after The Hulk apparently has rampaged through Vegas. This makes the events of Planet Hulk very clear and actually very exciting. So they're sitting around wondering what to do about Banner. They come to the conclusion that he has to be removed somehow. Namor's pissed about this but the others all have seem to have had some sort of situation where they've tried to help Banner that all ended fruitlessly. Namor and Tony exchange words and the two end up in a bit of a fight. Namor storms off and threatens that if anything happens to Banner he'll wage war.
The third time they meet is to discuss the Bill of Registration that the government is about to pass. Xavier has been missing since the HoM which Tony referrs to which is interesting because doesn't he play dumb about it in New Avengers and the last issue of HoM? But anyway the act is broughout up and Dr. Strange immediately is disgusted by it and leaves. Namor says he'll wage war again if they try to come after him and leaves. Black Bolt seemingly is angry about it and leaves too. Leaving Tony and Reed. Reed leaves to "go fight with his wife about the subject" and Tony is left all alone.
5/5
What I give you doesn't do the issue justice and I'm sorry I didn't buy the issue because it was almost perfect and I'm leaving out some stuff (a particular interaction between SHIELD director Hill and Tony). The characterizations, the art (I miss Alex Maleev), the mentions of various marvel events. I would love to hear any complaints about this issue. I can't wait for Civil War.
