Great sense of power and action that lasts throughout the entire scene!  The panels are varied and allow for smooth camera transitions panel to panel that showcase the full range of the action clearly.  Stuart Immonen and Wade von Grawbadger work this Bendis DPS to its maximum potential!

Another great Immonen piece! His action scene storytelling is second to none - no words needed here! Also a strong cinemetic feel to this one, like you're watching a big MCU battle :) I gotta get MY Immonen soon! Congrats, Jason!

Thanks (as always), K, for the great comment, and I think you really put your finger on why this spread has such 'oomph'; technical pyrotechnics and dynamic composition, without question, but the sense of storytelling is the killer...  No story beat or detail is lost (no captions are needed), even amidst the breakneck pace and camera jumps being used here.  Big action comics storytelling at its finest.  And with your superb eye, I honestly can't wait to see what published Immonen you'll add to your awesome gallery!  Thanks again, K (and all), for the comments!

The only "problem" with the amazingly well written and detailed commentary on your own artwork is that it literally leaves me with nothing left to say because you always say it all! So....Baller?

lol!  Thanks, Ruben.  "Baller" will do nicely (I did technically leave that one out)!  :)

New Avengers will always be a beacon of spikes in grphic storytelling! All the way back to Bendis & Finch, I knew this book would be momumental to Marvel lore and your double pager is testamant in dry ink! Congrats on this sick bounty!

Thanks, Nash, very much! You and I are on the exact same page (here, literally :) ) with that view of 'New Avengers': I think you're spot on with your assessment (and although I initially thought you had said that New Avengers will always be the "bacon" of graphic storytelling... it turns out I'm ALSO in complete in agreement with you there, too :) ).  Thanks for your kind words, Nash, and for swinging past to take a look.

Holy guacamole.  This art jumps out at you like you're in the front row of an IMAX flick on opening day.  Heart soars with Carol...

Thanks, Steve, and I think you're absolutely right about the impact, immediacy, and IMAXitude ("IMAXimum"?) found here.  The whole Immonen / von Grawbadger stretch of issues was fantastic, but there was something about this arc - I don't know if it was the bright 'Heroic Age' "relaunch" spinning out the "nighttime" 'Dark Reign' storyline, but there was an energy present that was (and is) intoxicating and wonderful in the work.  Story, dialogue, pencils, and inks - the whole team was firing on all cylinders.  Thank you (as always!), Steve and everyone for your comments!

Great great double spread.

I LOVE that first panel with the astral projection that Immonen drew differently than the usual ways these sequences are drawn, adding a sense of urgency to it.

And the fourth panel really underlines the overal sense of speed of the whole scene as well as Ms Marvel strugling while facing the danger.

My word, that first panel is amazing. Shades of Brunner in composition. Agreed, Jason, this is an astounding page. Those cinematic angles and scenes let the action and drama just jump right off of the page. Gorgeous DPS. You have quite an eye, Jason. Super work from an amazing trio. Big congrats!

I love your analysis of why Carol is flying from right to left in panel 3! What an amazing scene this was!
