You just knew that had to have some sort of Avengers comic lined up for Free Comic Book Day with Avengers End Game out in theaters. I lost track of the Avengers for the last couple of months but based on the cover, it looks like Blade has joined the group. Let's see what this issue brings.
Make Mine Avengers
The issue opens 'somewhere, sometime' where Iron Man suddenly appears in a snowy region surrounded by some sort of snow wildcats. Tony has no idea where he is and has lost WiFi signal with all over the world. He realizes he's the only man on earth.
Iron Man remembers how since the Final Host attacked the Earth, there have been several events that led the planet through some rough times. As he recalls this, we see Namor and his fish creatures attack a ship, enraged about the oil spills killing the sea. Tony explains that lately D.C has created their own team of heroes called The Supreme Squadron of America. These heroes head down to fight with Namor.
Elsewhere, at the Avengers Mountain in the North Pole, Ghost Rider, Blade and Black Panther are under attack by Rider's demonic car. T'Chala says they have to perform an exorcism on that car as it's flying around uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, member of the Shi'Ar try to contact The Avengers but they choose not to respond. Corsair, Captain Marvel, Thor (who is infected by The Brood) and She- Hulk pilot a ship towards a planet with a huge Starbrand symbol burned onto it.
As Iron Man loses the fight against the snow beasts, suddenly Thor's hammer flies into the scene and knocks them away. Tony thinks it's Thor that has come to rescue him, but instead it is Odin, and he is joined with the original Avengers from pre-history!
Savage Avengers VS Free Comic Book Day
Wolverine is on the hunt for whoever kidnapped his old friend Saviano, that has gone missing. A detective walks towards Wolverine as he sniffs out the car that belonged to his friend. Logan can tell that Saviano was kidnapped to get to him. Suddenly ninja attack and Wolverine is quick to take them out. The ninjas belong to The Hand, and Wolverine recognizes the pollen on their uniforms coming from the Savage Land. He kills the last ninja and now knows where to go.
In Cairo, one of The Hand delivers a captive to another person dressed like a Pharaoh. They have also collected the Third Eye of Agamotto and have a symbiote trapped in a jar. The captive was Stick, Daredevil's master and he is awake. Before the man can react the Hand Ninja turns out to be Electra and he quickly kills him. Stick stands by as Electra continues with her mission.
This starts a new upcoming series called Savage Avengers that will star some heavy hitters like Wolverine, The Punisher and Venom.
My Opinions-
This story basically serves to help re-tell some of the events since The Final Host arrived on Earth and caused trouble. I missed out on a lot since last I blogged about this (I read most of my comics as I blog them), but so far it looks like Blade joined the group, Thor is infected by The Brood and Namor is evil (or misguided) and causing trouble. The kicker is Iron Man somehow being blasted back through time to meet up with the original Avengers, consisting of such members like Odin in his prime, The Phoenix and Agamotto. I guess I'll have to jump back into Avengers to find out what happens next.
Another thing are these new super heroes that 'were sent from D.C' as in Washington DC.... which I find kinda ironic since they do look like (and sound like) c-string DC superheroes.
Savage Avengers is kinda interesting. It's drawn in that kind of dark, inky old school style of some of Wolverine's solo tales that take him to Madripoor and the like, expect this time Logan's going to get some teammates. From what I can gather, Conan himself will be involved and with such violent characters like The Punisher and Venom and the story headed towards the Savage Land... this tale will be truly savage.
I'm honestly more curious on how all these crazies are even gonna get along.
Not really too much to say. Previous Avengers Free Comic Book Day stories contained some tales that factored into the main comic, for example we actually got to see more of the original Avengers fight against the Celestial, which served as the backstory for the Avengers comics and explained why The Final Host was headed to Earth in the first place. This comic mostly served as a preview of coming attractions.
And before anyone asks, yes we did see Avengers End Game. I personally saw it twice and I'm debating whether or not to see it a third time in 3D.
