More Heroes Enter the Fray in Marvel Action: Chillers #3
Marvel Action: Chillers #3 will bring more heroes into the fray as this chilling (and fun) tale continues. This is the second to last issue of the series, but at least it has been a fun ride up until now.
So far, fans have had a chance to see a new take on several different heroes. Iron Man, Ironheart, Doctor Strange, Captain America, and Elsa Bloodstone have all been able to grace these pages. Now, it’s time for two more heroes to arrive on the scene.
This series is perfect for Marvel fans looking for something light and casual. Despite the spooky themes, it would be an excellent series for any age range. Best of all, the series shows different sides of the heroes we know so well.
Writing
Jeremy Whitley continues his run in Marvel Action: Chillers #3. The whole series has been a blast right from the start. It makes great use of the characters we know and love while trying to bring about something different.
If you’ve read any of the other Marvel Action series, you probably have a better idea of the tone of this series. It’s spooky, but it’s also a bit more casual. Perfect for new and old fans – both in reading experience and age.
Riri and Doctor Strange are still taking up half the focus of this series, as they seem to be most aware of what is happening (that’s Doctor Strange for you). All while presenting the perfect excuse to introduce two different heroes (both featured on the cover).
Their appearance is admittedly a bit surprising, but not in a negative way. If anything, their personalities are perfect for this series. It almost makes me wish that we had seen them earlier. Not that I’m complaining!
There’s only one issue left to wrap up this spooky mystery. While I have a couple of theories about what will happen, I’m sure that it won’t hold up compared to what Whitley has written. Hence, I’m eagerly looking forward to reading it.
Art
The artwork inside Marvel Action: Chillers #3 is as fun and endearing as the writing itself. The bold art could easily stand out on a rack full of Marvel comics. The bright colors and character designs certainly don’t hurt at all.
Gretel Lusky and Bowen McCurdy were the lead artists for this issue, and you can tell that they had a lot of fun portraying the characters on the pages. Here, we have four heroes (plus one bonus character), their iconic looks, and the enemy they’re all facing off against.
Nahuel Ruiz’s colors bring the drawings to life, making them vibrant and alive. The colors are bold here, as they should be. Lots of bright colors for the costumes, as well as for the spookier elements as well.
Valeria Lopez’s letters are the final touch needed to bring this issue together. There’s no denying the impact of a fight or just how creepy the notes left behind are getting.
Conclusion
Marvel Action: Chillers #3 was another delightful addition to this series, and I can’t wait to see what happens next. Even if that means the series will conclude when that happens.
This quirky series has been unique and does fit in nicely with the rest of the Marvel Action universe.
