After seeing these preview images and thinking back to some of Bendis's earlier NA work I can now say with confidence that I know where Bendis sides in the great Ninjas vs Pirates debate

Immonen is so awesome.

He's on my current top 5 Marvel artist list. I'll buy anything he draws from Marvel.

[Imraith Nimphais]

I quite like Immonen as well...but there is something different about his art in this prev...the colour, the inking? I had to double-check the solicit to see if there was a change somewhere.

NINJAS!!!!
If it isnt The Hood it's ninjas.

[Donald]

So when did Dr. Strange get his power & gear back?

[Will.S]

I think it may be a flashback scene.

Doctor Strange needs to rock the cloak again. Love the cloak. Hell even his first appearance blue cloak and square amulet could work... Marvel just wants him in street gear... bleh... maybe they'll change their minds...

[Elijah Dexan]

It's not New Avengers if there aren't ninjas.

I think it may be a flashback scene.

I am sure it is. I think we'll get an explanation for the accusations of Danny in the last issue.

Another interesting snippet we have got here is: "one of the New Avengers must make the ultimate sacrifice to save the Marvel Universe" (emphasize added). Does this mean it is not one of the magical characters who is going to die in issue #6? They are not New Avengers, but guest characters!? But almost all NAs are shown on the cover of issue #7.

Yeah something does seem rather off about the art, looks like the inking is different.

I am sure it is. I think we'll get an explanation for the accusations of Danny in the last issue.

Well it's phrased in such an ambiguous way that it could be anyone's guess.

Is that Immonen? It looks like him in places but not others. He's been at the top of his game since the relaunch, especially in #4 but this doesn't look quite right.

Again with freaking ninjas...

I hope it's Voodoo but it will probably be Wolverine since he can heal.

I think it may be a flashback scene.

I'm sure you're right.

And I don't quite see the difference in Immonen's work - if anything, I think it looks better than the last couple issues.

Imonnen rules.
