The king of the dwarfs has Mjolnir, the Lava Men are ready to erupt, and while the Avengers are all that stand between Earth and a fiery doom, Kang is picking the perfect moment to strike again.
Rated T
The classic-style escapades of the Avengers continue to be a treat to read from writer Paul Levitz and artist Alan Davis. Avengers: War Across Time's latest isn't its best, and though it gets things in a unique place for the final, it's clearly the weakest of the series. Read Full Review
This continues to scratch that weird nostalgic itch for 60s Marvel comics. It's a lot of fun. Light reading too, especially compared to the real deal 60s comics.
This is a fun series. I'm liking the progression where it's not just a couple of scenes and the book is over. Here we start in one battle the dwarf gets away, garners an army and comes back to fight again, all in the same issue. The plot point of the book, drives Kang, which is how we started. It's good.
The novelty is wearing off the retro scripting. The story's neither as fresh nor as funny as it was at the start. It certainly doesn't help that it takes all of #3 to tie the Sindri side-quest back into the Kang story.
On the plus side, the art remains splendid all the way through and the pace does pick up in the final act. Here's hoping that this miniseries is thrashing its way out of the doldrums.
