New Avengers 17

A new story starts with the avengers thick in action engaging a giant Ultimo robot. The avengers have a tough time direct hitting the robot as the robot can absorb kinetic energy and reverse it back to whoever hitting it. The avengers are all unable to stop it until Doctor Strange shows up and use mystical powers to bind the robot. Before long the robot looses its balance and topple down with the help of Iron fist.

Wolverine as his usual berserk mode slash the downed robot but got ambushed by a mini robot that slices Wolverine to get a blood sample. The robot releases a contraption into the sky that disappears so fast even Ms Marvel can't catch up with it. The perpetrator of all this damage is Norman Osborne together with Madame Hydra and Gorgon that made up the new Hammer organization. Initially the mission is to obtain Ironman's armor but that was abandoned after the arrival of the avengers at the scene. So to make up for it, the blood sample of Wolverine would have to do. After the accomplishment of the mission the robot is detonated to explode. The story ends in cliffhanger as the avengers caught unaware as the explosion happen. 
Overall another nicely illustrated issue by Deodato with loads of action by each avenger. Even the facial expression of a frustrated and then happy Norman Osborne is clearly pictured.
