I am always impressed when writers manage to find individual characters' voices in such a large ensemble cast. One of the bits I really enjoyed during this issue was Clint's opening line. I felt even if he had been dressed in civies without his bow I still would have known him without question.
Other moments I enjoyed/needed to comment on:
Although Steve's thoughts at the end are undeniably shippy, my favourite Steve and Tony panel was the silent frame of Steve's gloved hand resting on top of Tony's. Steve is the first to follow him into this new venture. No matter what goes down in 616 it always seems to come back to Steve and Tony following each other.
Apparently Loki is everyone's first choice when Asgardian shit hits the fan. How put off must Mordred and Le Fey be that they were both mistaken for Loki?
However far you think Wanda and Pietro's relationship goes (I'll argue for unrequited love on Pietro's part at the very least) I thought that Pietro's diatribe and some of his anguished expressions really highlighted their co-dependency. House of M makes more and more sense. But seriously can Marvel let poor Wanda catch a break?!
I have a terrible affection for the somewhat overplayed trope of Tony's issues with magic. And now I see it is not just an invention of fanon. How hard does Tony have to cling to Clarke's third law?
I'm going to take Jan's statements about flagons and mutton as evidence that Thor!speak has rubbed off on the team. Or more likely that Jan effects Thor's speech patterns subconsciously as a way to make him feel comfortable.
I don't have adequate words for how essential Jarvis is to this team. So in conclusion: yay Jarvis.
