Summary:
The Avengers have assembled, this time with Captain Marvel at the helm (again). Also along for the ride are Scarlet Witch, Thor, Iron Man, Vision, Captain America, and Black Panther. Naturally, they’re not going to be given time to relax.
It all begins with a warning from an unlikely source. Then arrives TERMINUS, bringing new dangers that’ll force the Avengers to think strategically and react accordingly. Will it be enough to save the day?
Review:
Finally getting caught up on Jed MacKay’s run on The Avengers, starting with The Avengers Vol. 1 (duh). I love that Captain Marvel is back in charge. Though truthfully, I just love it when they swap leaders regardless. Change is good, right?
The Avengers Vol. 1 brings a new (to me) antagonist to the forefront, and there’s a lot I could say about them, both as a group and individually. Instead of spoiling all of that, I will say that it was refreshing to see the Avengers try to pair up matches strategically. I actually paused and tried to guess who would end up fighting whom, which made the read-through a bit more interesting.
As always, there’s a lot of external context and drama happening outside of Avengers, so if you’re not 100% up to date with everything, you might be confused by comments dropped here and there. It’s not a deal-breaker by any means, but it’s good to keep in mind.
The Impossible City is likewise pretty interesting. No idea if we’ll be seeing that stick around (this is Marvel, so sometimes it feels like no big changes stick around), but I still like the concept.
Highlights:
- Enter the Terminus
- Supreheroes
- Captain Marvel Lead
