Avengers Initiative Special
One of the longest-running plotlines in Avengers: The Initiative is resolved at last! Hardball is among the Initiative's most respected and decorated graduates. He's become a celebrity hero in Las Vegas, with his true love, Komodo, serving nearby in Arizona. But all the while, he's secretly been in the pocket of the terrorist group Hydra! Now everything comes to a head as Komodo finds out the truth...Senator Woodman's evil plan comes to fruition...and Hardball must choose a side, once and for all! Also in this not-to-be-missed issue, Dan Slott returns to solo writing duties for the previously-untold origin of Trauma...and the shocking revelation of his link to a longtime Marvel character!

I'm not a big fan of Uy's art but it works. The most amazing thing about this was that it was the second comic in as many weeks to feature post-Secret Invasion continuity. Marvel is still teasing the outcome, but we've now seen two presentations of the Marvel U post Secret Invasion (see Captain America last week for the other) and it really doesn't look all that different (e.g. the Skrulls aren't running the world and the Initiative is still in place). Basically if you're fan of the Intiative then you'll enjoy this book. If not, then is probably not a good jumping on point.
