About the Title-The Avengers hold the record for the most numbers of
members for a single team in the Marvel Universe. With over 60 members so
far, the team has strived to fight threats that couldn't be overcome by
any single hero. With such names as Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and many more; the
team has fought villains such as Doctor Doom, Galactus, Kang, and more. With the
Thing and She-Hulk as previous members, it was only a matter of time that
others would soon join from the Fantastic 4. While they only lasted
5 issues, it was a nice change from the normal pace of the Invisible
Woman and Mister Fantastic.
Synopsis-While
the X-Men saga, Inferno, wages on; the Nanny (a villain who kidnaps young
mutants) has his lackey kidnap Franklin Richards from his parents house
(Reed and Sue were retired and Ben was running the team). The Captain
(Captain America in his current identity) heads out of New York to
find help to fight the demon filled Inferno that infected New York.
Reed, Sue, and the Captain chase after the Nanny to recover Franklin. They
battle the Orphan-maker and the Nanny to a stand still and pick up
the help of Gilgamesh:The Forgotten One, who's a Eternal. They fly
into New York City and meets up with Thor. They do battle
with Kang's Growing Man and then cripples the demons plans to rule the dimension. For
those who are lost with the names, don't worry, the story is written so that the
non-Avengers fan can understand
it.
Best Moments-Sue and Reed, back in action; classic action like it
was from the 60's and 70's; classic villains; classic heroes; John
Buscema's art, gotta love it; all the Avengers up this point and their
appearances; a retelling of Avengers issue 1; and overall a great
comic.
Weak Points-The same costumes on Reed and Sue was sort of a drag,
but it was rather classic. That and the short stint of Reed and Sue on the
team was rather disappointing. You might have to buy Thor issue 400 and
Captain America issue 350 to better understand the costume change of
Captain America and the appearance of the Black Knight with
Thor.
Over all rating-4 out of 4 flares. If you like the classic Fantastic Four, issue 60 and above, then
your going to love this
issue. |
