Comic & Manga Reviews
Okay, okay, I've been meaning to read Young Avengers for WAY too long. I'm finally fixing that mistake by diving into Young Avengers Vol. 1. Thus far; I can already tell that the series is worth the hype (and the accidentally long wait).
Over the years, I've read countless comic series that have played around (or straight-up ret-conned) with a character's history or ability. I think Dr. Strange, Surgeon Supreme is perhaps one of the more drastic changes I've seen while sitting firmly within the core theme of the character.
Wow. Scarlet Witch Vol. 1 is a roller coaster; I can tell you that much! A couple of distinct arcs occur within this volume besides the obvious setting up shop concept. It made for an action-packed and fascinating volume.
Whew. I won't lie: Captain Marvel Vol. 10 is an intense read. In truth, the entire Revenge of the Brood arc has been one heavy-hitting moment to the next. Kelly Thompson has always been good about that – creating an emotional arc that ties back to Carol's past.
Somebody is always out there with a bone to pick with a Hulk. Pick a Hulk, any Hulk, and somebody is gunning for their abilities/strength/etc. Unfortunately, that means Jen's life gets messed up from time to time.
The Scarlet Witch, aka Wanda Maximoff, has put herself between Darcy Lewis and Scythia. One is oath-bound to hunt and kill the other, which means we're on the precipice of yet another battle for the Scarlet Witch.
Captain Marvel Vol. 9 contains a single-issue plot and the beginning of a new plot arc; Revenge of the Brood.
The time has finally come. It's time to learn why Darcy Lewis ran away, winding up as The Scarlet Witch's shopkeeper. Sure, that sounds like a fun (if dangerous) job, but that can't be the real reason why Darcy is here. As it turns out – there's a hunt happening, with Darcy as the prey.
It isn't every day that She-Hulk comes across a villain that can hold up against her. It's next to impossible to back away when she does, even with everyone (read: Reed) telling her to do that. Not her style.
The Revenge of the Brood continues ever onward. Captain Marvel and crew started this mission in an attempt to save Rogue and Binary. But in true fashion, the battle has turned, and now they're fighting on a whole different scale.
