Continuing from the “Last White Event” storyline,
the earth is in great peril thanks to several biological attacks from some
extraterrestrial foe. The possibly right but more than likely crazy Captain
Universe sees the end of the world unless the Avengers line-up gets bigger. In
the beginning of the membership drive to end all membership drives, expect
heroes, villains, and the occasional wild card to be offered a chance to become
an Avenger.
I waited a little too long to read this follow-up to
the Last White Event. There were a few plotlines that I had forgotten. So, this
was a tougher read for me. Thankfully, I have the sequel, Avengers: Infinity,
on hand so I should be in decent shape. Believe me, the mystery behind this
threat to the earth is so vast and complex, binge reading of the first four volumes
of the Marvel NOW! Avengers is required and essential.
The art was fantastic. I really liked the cover
gallery. Fantastic kudos to artists Mike DeDato, Stefano Caselli, and Leinil
Francis Yu. The art in this entire
volume is noteworthy.
Worth Consuming.
Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
