Rated T+
Karami delivers some beautifully stylish and visually exciting art throughout the issue. There are so many great visual details throughout the issue and I loved the style. Read Full Review
Avengers #19 serves as a prelude of things to come, but also a solid done-in-one story; an art that's become a rarity in mainstream comics. With Doom poised to shape the world into his own image, one has to wonder if the Avengers will cross paths with him again. Read Full Review
In Avengers #19, Earth's mightiest heroes are caught in both battle and philosophical debate with Doctor Doom, a premise as thought-provoking as it is fun. Read Full Review
n Avengers #19, Dr. Doom, now the Sorcerer Supreme, calls up Earths Mightiest Heroes to have “chat” with them. Unfortunately, not much really happens here. Its mostly Doom and the Avengers throwing classic philosophical platitudes at each other concerning power and what to do with it, all with some good art from Farid Karami. While the conclusion was pretty predictable, there is a nugget of intrigue concerning what Dr. Doom is planning to do in the foreseeable future. Read Full Review
Plot
Storm is now officially part of the Avengers, taking Thor's place, Black Panther agrees but prefers to carry out a dangerous mission inside the Meridian Diadem Prison, a kind of tesseract universe.
Iron Man sends Black Panther and the Avengers wait for the signal that requests that they bring him back, but suddenly they receive a call from... DOCTOR DOOM as the Sorcerer Supreme.
Doom summons them to a desert and judges them, because he claims that these seven powerful beings: Iron Man/The Engineer, Black Panther/The King, Storm/The Goddess, Vision/The Construct, Scarlet Witch/The Witch, Captain America/The Icon, Captain Marvel/The Star, have not used their power to make the world a better place, they have not more
Solid issue, not too heavy but interesting and relevant to the current direction of the book. Good writing, good art. Not an issue that will stand out in a reader's memory, but might get a call-back in a future issue when Sorcerer Supreme Doom starts putting plans into motion. I most appreciated the stuff with Black Panther and Storm. That was a dynamic I was most interested in when I heard Storm was joining the team.
Finally - after some 6 years - an issue, of what used to be my favourite comic (yes, I have them all from #1) worth reading.
No, by no means faultless but at least it had really(!) good art and a story that actually portrays Marvel characters as themselves...Yes, he's Cap but like T'Challa we all know he's really the Falcon, the Vision as more than a feeble 'love-bot' etc..
I'm encouraged.
Jed McKay just doesn't get it. This is a waste of time issue. So poorly constructed and written it's almost pitiful. The artwork is decent. Mckay doesn't even understand Doom's position to the point where the team has to "ponder" the exercise by the end. The idea that each of them could conquer a country on their own is ludicrous. I hope to see a new writer on Avengers soon.
