Publisher's summary

Under secret orders to assassinate the Widow, Hawkeye, the rough-edged marksman, finds himself caught up in a violent prison break that releases some of the world's most vicious and powerful criminals. Defying his superiors, Hawkeye joins forces with the sultry Russian spy and a mismatched group of personalities that include Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Luke Cage, Captain America, and Iron Man.

Unexpected betrayals and shocking revelations lead the team from Manhattan's top security Raft prison to the untamed jungle of the Savage Land in this thrilling novel.

This GraphicAudio® Production is adapted from the graphic novel by Brian Michael Bendis.

Super cool!

A story action packed and characters that have depth such that they are more interesting than the bad guys.

Good Superhero Story

This was a good representation of the original New Avengers story. Well written and action packed. The presentation was excellent. I enjoyed the full cast, sound effects, and music.

Much more depth than expected.

Essentially a Hawkeye, Jessica Drew, & Black Widow POV of the events adapted from the comics. I enjoyed the novelization despite some of the changes, and really appreciated a greater depth to some of the characters. This is especially true for Black Widow, who we find after just defecting from the BW program. Good listen, the full cast really helps these comic stories pop. Loved it.

Not Bad for a Performance Piece

Pros: The voice actors were mostly quality casting choices; Iron Man and Hawkeye were particularly well done. Story moved quickly, though it is not directly adapted from the original comic run, and seems to have left segments of the novel out as well.

Cons: Distracting foley work for many sound effects took away from the narration. Russian accents seemed a bit overplayed.

Fartles and Misogyny

This book had an interesting storyline and great voice actors. I enjoyed the ambient sound effects (except for one time when they kept walking and walking and walking and walking, and the footsteps sound started making me go nuts.) I enjoyed Spiderman's banter.

The misogyny really bothered me in this one, however. Most of the time it was subtle, but at other times it really wasn't. A few examples off the top of my head: A man saying he was glad there were no women on a mission because women talk too much. And a man saying that mothers should not pose for photos until after they get their figure back, etc. What is a man wearing? "A sleeveless shirt." What is a woman wearing? Her breasts are nicely rounded under her tight suit. A woman is in charge? She will be portrayed as incompetent, and she will be called out, demeaned, repeatedly interrupted, and then dismissed without being allowed a chance to defend herself.

Very confused by comic differences

The voice acting and music were great. I believe the accents were well done and the chemistry between the characters was felt. But the story…………

I have no clue why this was altered so drastically. I understand that movies need to be adapted sometimes to modernized things to be a bit more relatable and some things Cant be done because the budget would be in the trillions.

But this is reading and conveying the story, characters, and setting through words only, so why was the story touched? Wolverine and the Sentry were taking out of the book and Hawkeye and Black Widow were put in. Why?

Then Hawkeye is a Shield agent with no ties to the Avengers, yet during the story they mention that Scarlet Witch went nuts and decimated the Avengers. Well, during that huge ordeal, Hawkeye, who was a damn Avenger at the time, was famously killed during the madness. So if you’re gonna go the route of including the characters, how was that missed?

Why was it necessary to include Hawkeye and Black widow at all? And why force this love triangle into the story with Clint, Nat, and Jess to begin with? And you got rid of Wolverine as well as the Sentry!? The man was in a cell at the Raft and helped the heroes by flying Carnage into space and literally tearing him in half.

All of it seemed like an unnecessary maneuver. So while I enjoyed listening to the acting, I didn’t enjoy the story because the changes didn’t enhance it only made it disappointing.
