Self-Awareness Saturday--Avengers #13

In Avengers #13, Ms. Marvel is lusting after Thor, and she wants Spider-Woman to go ask him if he's seeing anyone right now:

Hmmm. Could this actually be Bendis' way of self-critiquing his handling of his characters, of subtly acknowledging that he's done absolutely nothing with Spider-Woman over the past 13 issues of Avengers? Or even more broadly, coyly admitting that he's done a terrible job of having everyone on the team interact with each other, that the book hasn't been so much a team book as "Tony Stark and the Seven Dwarves" for the first two storylines?

Nah.

Special bonus that you would have demanded had you known about it: a panel of Spider-Man "heaving" inside his mask!!

Thank you, Bendis and Chris Bachalo, for that contribution to the medium!
