I enjoy Aaron’s deep dive into all the different multiversal/historic characters.
HISTORY'S MIGHTIEST HEROES: CONCLUSION!
The Avengers' epic quest through the darkest and weirdest corners of time comes to an end with an issue that focuses on the prehistoric forefather of all things dark and weird in Marvel history: Earth's very first Sorcerer Supreme. Prepare to see all of history through the eyes of Agamotto. RATED T+
Robbie Reyes continues to shine as Jason Aaron puts him front and center in an “Old-Man Logan” style apocalyptic setting, allowing him to reach his darkest and most violent limits. Tony Stark’s new digs are very much a different name for the same flavor, but it works well enough to intrigue and steadily build the mystery of the ancient powers. Mostly, we are left wondering how all those covemore
AN ALL-NEW SERIES STARRING THE AVENGERS OF THE MULTIVERSE!
On a quest for cosmic vengeance, Ghost Rider finds himself roaring through the wasteland on a ruined Earth, where the great age of heroes never came to be, where hope is a four-letter word and where his only ally in the coming battle against the greatest villains any universe has ever s...
The art is top-notch, and the visuals make up for the one-sided Gorilla-Man monologues. I’m really hoping his apparent budding sacrifice isn’t a fake out, and he’s actually going to pay for his betrayal; successfully building anticipation for the next Gorilla-Man. Heres hoping it won’t be a character only mentioned twice in the last 20 years of Marvel. (I do like Echo as the Phoenix, just more
"WORLD WAR SHE-HULK" Continues!
After being taken prisoner by the Russian Winter Guard and sent to the notorious assassin-training academy known as the Red Room, She-Hulk has been transformed into something terrifying. And now the Winter Hulk has been unleashed upon the world. And the only one who can stop her... is Gorilla-Man?
Rated ...
The mystery is as comic-book trope-y as it gets and the stakes seem non-existent. However, the execution of it all is top notch. Much of the strength comes from the panel work and the art. Jason Aaron's attempt at the Justice League is intriguing, and each member is introduced with their own villain to deal with (many of whom are a mash-up of well-established villains with well-established newly amore
A WORLD WITHOUT AVENGERS!
Welcome to a world where Tony Stark never built an Iron Man armor. Where Thor is a hard-drinking atheist who despises hammers. Where Wakanda is dismissed as a myth. And where Captain America was never found in the ice because there were no Avengers to find him. Instead this world has always been prot...
Aaron's run has been about 75% build-up, and this series continues the trend, ending with Blade in a sanctioned position of authority over those he's hunted, forcing both parties to play nice for the time being. My favorite part of this issue is the interaction between Robbie Reyes and the newly chosen phoenix, Maya Lopez; if only because it rights the wrong of under-developing Maya in the Phoenixmore
THE AVENGERS JOIN THE BATTLE AGAINST THE KING IN BLACK!
The year's most epic event explodes in the pages of AVENGERS. The vampire hunter Blade has been at the forefront of the fight against the dark symbiote god, but now he must pay a dark price that will change his world forever.
Rated T+
Jason Aaron and Cosmic Norse mythology are a match made in Valhalla. Sometimes a comic book should be cool, and Jason Aaron's newest is mighty cool. The art in the first part, the questions posed in the second part; both will have me lingering on this issue for a long time. Jane Foster's not-so-recent push in Marvel Comics has aged like a fine mead (it's aged well). She has been fully developed anmore
JANE FOSTER GETS A FRESH START - AND ALLIES BOTH NEW AND OLD!
Jane Foster believed she was the only Valkyrie left - but the fight against Knull, the King in Black, proved her wrong. Now the Valkyries must redefine their roles in a changing world - and Asgard's not going to make it easy. When Loki comes to Jane with rumors of a beast stalking th...
SPOILERS
The Phoenix Force was given to a character with the least bearing on the series so far. One with so little a role, I had completely forgotten she was ever in this series, and with so little effort given to her in this series, I was forced to wikipedia the character just to have some understanding of who she is. It seems like the worst choice of them all, as she seems have littl more
ENTER THE PHOENIX: THE FIERY FINALE!
It all comes down to this. The final battle to decide who will wield the awesome cosmic power of the Phoenix Force. You don't want to miss... the debut of the all-new Phoenix!
