As the Avengers battle the Twilight Court, the mysterious Myrddin has his rival within reach. With Kang being the only source of information the Avengers have regarding the Tribulation Events, can the Avengers save him before Myrddin strikes?
Rated T+
Avengers #10 steps up the storytelling. Drawn in through the action, this issue takes the time to draw the Avengers deeper into a war that appears to cross points in time and dimensions. The villains have spooked both Kang and Nightmare, which means their danger is even greater than initially realized. Read Full Review
All of this praise is given to the dynamic creative team, who have taken their years of working together to form an unstoppable juggernaut on Avengers. Read Full Review
The story is coming back around to Kang, a welcome change that shows that the creative team are building to something epic. The art and character work were top notch with the art team being the big stand out here. On top of everything else this this issue has going for it, I am always on board for a Kang temper tantrum full of passing the buck of his own failures to somebody else. This was peak whiny Kang!

Villa crafts some beautifully detailed and stylish art that immediately grabbed my attention visually with the wonderful use of shadow, shading and colors from Blee that made many of the moments leap off the page for me. Read Full Review
Avengers #10 brings a classic Avengers villain face-to-face with a brand new threat, doing much to establish Myrridin as an intelligent and cunning foe for the Earth's mightiest heroes. Read Full Review
Avengers (2023) #10 concludes this battle between the Avengers and the new Twilight Court with a focus on their leader, the enigmatic Myrddin. Unfortunately, what we get of Myrddin is serviceable at best, uninteresting at worst. We get a sense of his personality, but the comic is mostly him monologuing to Kang while his Twilight Court get bested by the Avengers. On top of that, the comic sets up a new unknown threat for the Avengers to face, but it feels like a repeat of what the previous Avengers run just did as far as the scope of the threat. What will make or break this issue at least, is whether or not readers like what they get of Myrddin here. Read Full Review
The Tribulation Events are still a mystery, but the scale of them is frightening, and things are looking even more horrifying, though the issue features very little in the way of Avengers or avenging. Read Full Review
That Nightmare twist is brutal. Loved it.
Also Wanda and Thor on the same panel is just to much. The pages are going to drop, Epic!
Plot
Twilight Court manages to distract the Avengers while Myrddin attacks Kang, she clarifies Kang's true plan.
It all goes back to what they revealed in Timeless #1 of the year 2022, when Kang and Myrddin are behind the Lost Moment, a second in the history of time that no one has access to, the only way to activate it is by triggering the Tribulation Events and that a hero activate that second lost in time.
Myrddin strips Kang of her memories and leaves, an angry Kang tells the Avengers that they were useless and threatens them that now they will see him as an enemy again. The Avengers are still unaware of Kang's plan.
Thor and Wanda follow the only clue to what's going on and talk to Nightmare, who i more
Jed Mackay bets very high with Avengers. The tribulation events seem to be something bigger than we imagined and the Avengers are in the middle of it. I also liked seeing the humiliation that myrddin did to Kang, these acts show him as a competent villain who with just a few panels showed himself to be a threat and seeing Kang humiliated was the best
This story was mostly about setting the stage for what's to come, and with MacKay at the helm, I'm very excited for it.
A really well-written issue once again from MacKay. I really enjoyed the ominous feeling throughout this one, especially in the latter half when Thor and Wanda confront Nightmare. Plus, I'm glad to see Villa back on the art duties. I think he did a really nice job here and I'm happy he's, supposedly, drawing Issue 11 as well.
I liked Kangs part with Myrddin, but all in all this felt like such a anti-climatic end to this arc. Honestly I haven't been impressed with this arc all that much. Just feels like a lot of place holdings. It doesnt help that we are left on a great cliff hanger but based on solicitations, the next issue is a filler and then the next couple after that are irrelevant event fillers. So we will probably have to wait several months to see if this is a nice plot thread.
Art: 3.5/5
Story: 3.5/5
Total: 7/10
Meh. Ending was OK
An improvement
Very weak storyline, cheesy dialogue, and even if you want to stop thinking, there are no action scenes.
