Avengers: Twilight #5 delivers emotional moments and blockbuster action often in the same moment, as the Avengers face off against the Red Skull.

Plot
Captain America, Iron Man, Ms Marvel, Hawkeye and Thor face the terrible attack of Red Skull who, with an army of soldiers programmed with Nazi lies, help him carry out a coup d'état that simultaneously attacks the White House, Congress and the Pentagon. Iron Man tries to stop the attack on the President, but Red Skull kills him.

Red Skull used Jarvis' body to store his memories and now uses Ultron's body as a weapon.

Thor, Cap and Ms Marvel manage to stop the attack on Congress and help the Vice President escape.

James Stark, on the other hand, leads an attack using an army of armor that Tony manages to dismantle, but James defeats him and warns him that the Red Skull is about to launch H-Day's weapon, which is as powerful as an atomic bomb... It's HULK....that's why it was called H-Day.

James Stark is bitter about the death of his mother and is totally confused by years of Red Skull's manipulation.
This penultimate chapter is full of tension and a lot of dizzying action, when saving your mind is a race against time.

Art
It is full of textures and firm lines that give it the appropriate dynamism and tone to show a different future with a real and visceral tone.

Summary
Red Skull carries out his Coup d'état that he has been preparing for decades, it is an asymmetric and lethal attack. Penultimate episode that will leave you breathless more

Great pacing and kept my interest throughout even though I wish I can get 12 issues of this but I understand why it is this way. This can easily be an MCU film 10 years from now. Acuna's art continues to be the star for me.

The battle here isn't nearly as interesting as the things leading up to it, but it's still pretty strong stuff.

Art: 4/5
Story: 4/5
Total: 8/10

Solid issue. Was a little more typical Captain America talking about fascism type stuff than other issues, but still was a great visual experience.
