Half of this was for the Avengers vs X-men event and the rest was a short arch about the 3 crowns of power (or whatever they're called). It was kind of strange seeing Taskmaster be a bad guy again after seeing him train good guys in the Initiative event. Also, Hawkeye as the leader of the Secret Avengers is kind of an A-hole, but the conversation between him and Cap was great.

I was most interested in the John Steele, but overall I'm losing steam with his series. I'll read the last volume, but only because I'm a completest. It didn't help that this was bogged down with Avengers Vs. X-Men issues.

While the AvX tie-in issues could've used some more context, this was a very solid volume. As usual, Remender does a great job making mandated tie-ins during his runs at Marvel feel quite natural. This time, a little less so as I feel we could've used more context for the AvX tie-in. We just kinda get dropped in the middle of the action with a fairly different team. That said, it was still enjoyable and did further character development for Captain Brittain.
The arc after that was the true continuation of the previous volume, finally getting back to the Bagalia arc and the main team. Good stuff, and the art by Scalera is some of the best to grace this period of Marvel comics.

It's standard superhero stuff. Rememder is good at the action and he always starts and ends with strong cliffhangers or action scenes. I liked the return of the Kree Captain Marvel. It was nice but that's half the book and it's tied into the Phoenix Saga. the other half is nice standard superhero team stuff.

Remender's Secret Avengers is hella more fun than Brubaker's. I don't particularly care about the overarching robot rebellion plot, which is in any case disrupted by Mandatory Summer Event Crossover Hijinks, but the writer and the characters seem to be having fun, and therefore so am I. I am especially fond of overcompensating insecure asshole Hawkeye and the Flash Thompson/Valkyrie romance (fast as the latter seemed to go). The characterization may be slight, but it's deft, and it's a better balance than Brubaker's plot-heavy retreads.
Nice shout out to the movie in the Hawkeye/Black Widow fight, though the deadpan explanation of the original Human Torch's medal of honor may be the best part.

Great read, the AvX Tie-Ins were alright but the genuine Secret Avengers story going on here is amazing. Love Remender

Not a fan of the AvX tie-in. Rest is pretty good. Taskmaster is a crack-up.
