New Avengers #19. Quick recap: something happened and now Earths from different universes are colliding. If they touch, both universes are destroyed. If one Earth is destroyed, both universes survive. The Illuminati have managed to save Earth a number of times but it has always been either dead worlds or the other earth has been destroyed. They've never encountered a living world until now. This world has the not Justice League and they've actually been studying them (in an effort to stop the incursions). Now they're face to face with the JL and wondering how two good factions deal with the fact that one of their worlds is about to die.

The look on Namor's face in that panel before he impales not-Batman is loving gold.

That's probably not even in the top five of Reed's list of "destructive things I have made".

To be honest, I like the conflicted Namor look so much because Smug Namor is a matter of course but seeing him upset that he has to play the badguy again is much rarer.

Well, there's actually Beast there with the Illuminati and then the weird alien guy on the other group's team is The Jovian who I think is meant to be their Martian Manhunter. edit: ah, beat to it.

I like Reed's expression of desperation, too. Valerio Schiti is really drat good at conveying emotion. I had a mini rant before about non-Marvel default super hero concept is always Superman/DC-in-general knockoffs, but I like Sun God and the Great Society. They (A) play an awesome role in this story arc and probably won't come up again, and (B) are so explicitly the Justice League it's amazing the Distinguished Competition hasn't had words with their lawyers. To go along with that, they represent an All Star Superman kind of Justice League. Pure, totally noble and helping, exactly the kind I like, but also all the more contrasting against the Illuminati.

I'm not sure why DC would be up in arms at a pastiche of the JL being portrayed as more moral and hopeful than some of Marvel's greatest characters. What's next, DiDio suing for slander after Bendis names him the world's greatest lover?

It's weird really. DC seem to be trying overly hard to be the gritty mainstream comics line, but their big two heroes are both idealists who (in almost every incarnation) don't kill people. edit - I love Strange's "Hope. What are you, twelve?" stare in the last panel.

 I really love how making the obvious even more obvious completely changes the tone of a few panels so much. It goes from desperation to Superman bein' Superman. Thanks, context!

New Avengers is pretty much about incursions and how the only way to save two entire universes is to destroy one of the two earths that are going to collide, so yeah, pretty grim.

Things are dire, and everyone is forced to consider the hard choices, but New Avengers is not really what comes to mind when I think of the words grim and gritty. At least not yet, anyway. It doesn't go darker than something like Star Trek typically would.
