(I’m pretty sure Geoff’s written 80 percent of the characters featured in this issue already.) Plus, the slight references to Metal show he’s not merely telling his story while ignoring the DC Universe’s goings on. It balances a cast of dozens, but whether it’s through dialogue or just the organization of the different teams, no one feels out of place, a testament to how long he’s spent making all of these characters his own. This issue is a reminder of how Geoff Johns truly is the master of the DC Universe. As expected for a character that’s been selectively altering DC’s continuity as he pleases, it’s not really a fair fight. Manhattan and getting to square off against him. It feels like a bit of a jump between the ending of last issue and this one, but the DC heroes are finally aware of Dr. Look, it’s the fight scene that everyone wanted! And by everyone, I mean no one. But unlike the League, which assembles entire teams to deal with mystical threats, the Avengers are just going to handle everything on their own, because they don’t stop being “Earth’s Mightiest Heroes” just because the enemy type switched to Spellcaster. All the intermission issues with Avengers BC see the characters dealing with magical monsters that have been around since creation itself, the current arc is a battle against vampires and an expansion to Ghost Rider’s world, and the upcoming story will submerge them into a world of dwarves, gods, and dark elves.

The cosmic stuff and usual rogues gallery of Avengers line ups past has taken a firm backseat to mysticism and political intrigue. This arc feels like it’s helping establish what makes this Avengers team different from many of the ones that came before it.

Their most impressive members used to be a more dangerous version of Yogi the Bear and a knock off Iron Man–now they’ve got someone capable of making Dracula cry.

The creation of a new status quo for Marvel’s seldomly used but surprisingly large vampire population, plus a surprising reintroduction of a key Ghost Rider character? We’re obviously not done developing either of these, and that’s before we even get to the fact that the Winter Guard has clearly leveled up since adding the Red Widow to things. There’s no calm before the storm, because this story still feels like it’s going to have major implications for later on in Aaron’s run. The beginning of the month remains the absolute best week for comics.Īs much as I was certain this would be just a little filler arc to keep readers busy until War of the Realms starts, Aaron hasn’t taken his foot off the gas even a second.
