We were duped, but in all fairness, so were the bad guys.
Last week’s New Avengers #37 was the follow up from issue #36, where the New Avengers were about to raid The Hood’s super criminal mafia headquarters.
Parker Robison, The Hood, decided in the wake of Civil War to become the new Kingpin of Super Crime. His underworld community of hack villains was becoming an empire and in the face of alien invasion, the New Avengers don’t have time to deal with other problems like him.
The New Avengers were aided by Hercules, the Silver Surfer, the X-Men and their rival Mighty Avengers. Not only that, but my favorite mallard Howard the Duck was seen with the group.

I thought we might get to see some Quack Fu!
Not only that, but fighting The Hood might have reunited the super hero community after the divides caused by Civil War and World War Hulk.
As it turned out, the extra heroes (including Howard) were illusions created by Doctor Strange. I figured something was funky when the Hulk (imprisoned after WWH) and Captain America (assassinated after Civil War) joined the fray.
My sadness aside, the issue was solid and sets up for New Avengers Annual #2, which is on shelves Jan 16, 2008.
