New Avengers – Revolution | Comics

With couple of new recruits on their team, New Avengers team goes to Japan to bring back one of their own.

It was the day when Avengers member Wanda Maximoff AKA Scarlet Witch lost control over her reality-altering powers, which started a chaos that took life of her fellow teammate Ant-Man, Hawkeye and Vision. Clint Barton wakes up months later after that incident in a park in New York and learns of his death from a newspaper.

To find answers, he goes to see Doctor Strange and though surprised, he informed that Clint is healthy and very much alive. When he wanted to know about Wanda, Strange says that she is not using her powers, so he can't track her. He then travels to Wundagore Mountain and bumped into an amnesiac Wanda living there for a while.

Civil War has ended and New Avengers have assembled themselves once again but Ronin has never left Japan. Staying there, she tangled with wannabe Yakuza mobsters and killed many of Hand ninjas. Eventually their current leader Elektra came looking for her with an army of ninjas and following a long fight, she was killed by Natchios.

Back in Harlem, Luke Cage was crossed paths with a group of "Cape-Killers" agents sent by S.H.I.E.L.D. that chased him to Sanctum Sanctorum, which appears to be sold out to Starbucks coffee chain. Stephen Strange lets him in and his wife Jessica Jones takes him to dinner table for him to join Iron Fist, Spider-Man and Wolverine.

Spider-Woman came in shortly with news that Captain America is in fact alive and is kept in Raft, Ryker's Island. Though Logan suggests it's a trap, Strange sends his astral form to check in and confirm what it really is. Upon learning that they kept Cap in there, they all burst through only to come face to face with Mighty Avengers.

Iron Man orders them to stand down after negating their power but they never expected Strange to show up, who cause Tony and his group to see their worst nightmares as he made an escape for his teammates. They chased New Avengers back to Sanctum and went to see Danny Rand at Rand Corporation for answers with no result.

Before stepping into trouble, Maya Lopez sent a message to Matt Murdock about how she will likely be dead when he read this and described the whole situation. Danny received that letter and rest of his team agrees to fly to Japan but not before Brother Voodoo walks in to their front door to run a ritual and confirm Tony of his suspicion.

After Voodoo clarifies to his folks that there is no one there or at least they can't find him there, Tony goes inside the Sanctum trying to reason with them knowing he is being heard. Shortly afterwards, Clint Barton showed up there and Doctor Strange tells everyone about their meeting earlier, offering him to tag along to Japan.

After stabbing her, Elektra took Maya to revive her body with dark magic to recruit into their cult but then New Avengers came crushing into their hideout along with a stranger wearing Ronin outfit. Spider-Man is sent to rescue her and soon as they got her, Doc Strange teleports them all to Fortress Yashida, home of Silver Samurai.

Not long after they arrived, Elektra tracked them back with a swarm of Hand ninjas and Luke tries to stall them by talking down. Maya was induced with drugs that Hand gave her and once it has completed its course, she turns against her friends. With help from Danny and Strange, she was able to fight the influence and strike back.

New Avengers – Revolution (Softcover)

New Avengers – Revolution (Hardcover)

In post-Civil War era, writer Brian Michael Bendis (House of M, Secret War) and artist Leinil Francis Yu (Infinity, Secret Empire) reassembled New Avengers team with a revised roster in order to start a "Revolution" that is chronicled through issues #26-31 from the first monthly ongoing titular comic-book series from Marvel Comics.

A major take away from the story is a long-anticipated return of Clint Barton and Wanda Maximoff, followed by one of them joining a resistance of heroes that his mentor, Captain America has assembled. They tangled with The Hand and its current leader, Elektra who has been running Japanese underworld for some time now.

Battle Against The Hand

Continued from her adventure in "Secrets & Lies", life of Maya Lopez goes through some rough edges. She dies and came back only to become a threat to her friends but was eventually rescued from Hand by Doc Strange and Iron Fist. Meanwhile, Iron Man becomes Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and forms Mighty Avengers with registered heroes.

Jericho Drumm AKA Brother Voodoo and Silver Samurai made short but notable appearance. "Revolution" also reveals a major secret to these outlaw heroes and will bear huge stepping stone for oncoming crossover event "Secret Invasion" soon but before that, New Avengers will continue their adventure in "The Trust" storyline next.

New Avengers – Secrets & Lies | Comics

Captain America recruits an ally into New Avengers team to find a connection between Hydra and Silver Samurai.

On the night of a prison break at Raft, Matt Murdock was on board with a group of fellow superheroes to contain a massive breakout. All of them have been banded together by Captain America into a team except Murdock, who refuses to join his New Avengers because of his secret identity of being Daredevil was made public lately.

Now that forty two super-powered criminals are free again, Cap is busy making rounds to catch them up one by one. He came to Murdock to talk about Keniuchio Harada AKA Silver Samurai, who was a prisoner that escaped Raft that night. Harada was likely to be assisted by The Hand but he believes it was most probably Clan Yashida.

Aside from Daredevil, only Wolverine knows about Japanese underworld and he is currently not available, therefore they need him right now. Matt explains that federal government is on his tail and he can come under fire for even knowing him but Cap then pointed out about the time when he became "Nomad" and represented no one else.

Matt then suggests him of someone that has every training and knowledge he has about Clan Yashida and The Hand. Steve Rogers meets this person to debrief their mission to locate Harada, learn his plans and their rule of no killing. Next day, a black suit wearing ninja goes beating up Clan Yashida thugs in Japan for information.

The mysterious ninja then finds a way to a secret fortress of Clan Yashida to see Harada being approached by Hand shortly before he is greeted by Viper AKA Madame Hydra but had to run abruptly when some Hand ninjas sneaked up. Making a break for it, the ninja made it to Stark Enterprises building, unaware of being followed by Hand.

Aside from Cap, no one among New Avengers team has known this guy and before they could catch a break, they came under attack from a swarm of Hand ninjas. Captain America, Iron Man, Luke Cage, Spider-Man and Spider-Woman get engaged with this group momentarily who came following their contact in Japan that Murdock sent.

Keniuchio is brought to Japan to take lead of The Hand in rise of a twisted Hydra and corrupted S.H.I.E.L.D. They are interrupted by a ninja who came to warn about an intruder that they engaged and followed thinking they have ties to American heroes but are ordered to retreat and soon, they all withdraw from fighting the Avengers.

Spidey notices that Jessica is missing and she actually flew to Fortress Yashida only to come across Viper. They have an argument over a deal made earlier to give her powers and then she tells Spider-Woman to hit her with a Venom Blast since her friends are right behind her in a Quinjet and she obliges this time without a hesitation.

Cap orders Silver Samurai and his associates to stand down but Harada asks if he is aware that his government abducted him to put in Raft without trials. They decide to sort things out by Keniuchio unleashing his sword on his associate group of Hand ninjas and Iron Man using a massive concussion blast to knock off all of them.

New Avengers team eventually leaves with Viper with them since she is a wanted terrorist and Jessica Drew attempts to release Madame Hydra mid-flight but accidentally Cap fell out as well and she immediately jumped to catch him. Their mysterious ninja friend reveals who is behind that mask and Cap confronts Jessica about her motives.

In a follow-up to apprehend major escapees of Raft maximum-security prison, Cap and his team has now focused his directive towards Silver Samurai, who was arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D. and then flew off to Japan by Hydra to join The Hand.

Mysterious Ninja Avengers

After failing to have Matt Murdock on their team as Daredevil, he recruits a mysterious new hero named Ronin for a mission in Japan, who remained under mask for almost entirety of their quest. Though everyone seems to be pretty curious about whom it is, no one among them is really familiar with this ninja warrior from before.

Also, that suspicious build up of Spider-Woman acting weird in and out of her costume has finally came to a point where she has to face the truth. Also, Ms. Marvel, Nick Fury, The Sentry and Wolverine appeared as guest characters. An old threat is about to emerge from ruins of past history in upcoming storyline titled "The Collective".
