This week's post will contain reviews of:
- New Avengers Annual #1
New Avengers Annual #1
This issue begins with a Wonder Man (Simon Williams for those keeping track at home) narrating what he believes to be the Avengers five biggest failures: Ultron, Scarlet Witch, the Civil War, the Incredible Hulk, and the Dark Avengers. Shortly after this, he gives his team a small pep talk, and tells them that the Avengers as a concept is wrong. His teammates agree with him, and they lay siege to Avengers Mansion.
The battle itself is frantic, and furious. Wonder Man himself engages Ms. Marvel high in the skies, while the remaining New Avengers are trounced handily (while the Revengers clearly show some expert planning and some sort of skill). As Anti-Venom defeats Spider-Man, and Goliath defeats the Thing, Ms. Marvel crashes to the ground beaten, as Wonder Man declares Avengers Tower as his next target.
Overall, the issue felt the the start of a longer story (which at least turned out to be the case thankfully). The art was absolutely amazing, as Dell'Otto knocked it out of the park. However, I was really disappointed that we didn't get to see more of the interaction between Ms. Marvel and Wonder Man. After their many years working together, I would have loved to have seen more than was shown. Maybe it will come in the Avengers Annual later on. I give this issue: 6.5/10
