Avengers: Standoff by Alan Davis, Dan Jurgens, Gary Frank, Geoff Johns, Mike Grell, Ivan Reis

3.0

Sort of a mixed bag. I didn't care for the Jack of Hearts/Ant Man story. And I didn't care for the Falcon story either. However, wedged in the middle was a multi-part story where Iron Man and Thor go head to head. That story was brilliantly illustrated by Alan Davis and the story was fairly dramatic. Thor has decided to intervene in a war-torn third world country where there people who have started a Thor cult, worshiping him. The U.S. government is frightened of how this intervention might lead to Dr. Doom getting involved, so they send Iron Man to stop Thor. Cap shows up as well and is instrumental in influencing Thor to back off. That middle portion of the book was probably worth the time investment.
