AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON #1 (2026)

 

Well, I got this and read it. Put it away and read it again until just reading it a third time. The art work is what you expect in a modern comic but it all seems pretty soul-less. Compare a modern era comic art to an "old style" one where the pencils, inks and colouring were all done by hand -ditto the lettering. I had the same reaction watching CGI animation such as The Incredibles  when compared to the old style animation work.

What was new here?  Not a lot. In fact I am sure that the whole scene setting had been done before; gathering the team etc -similar to when Bendis took over?

Will I get issue 2?  I will. But only to see if anything changes. Quite honestly almost every super hero in the Marvel universe is an Avengers member so it's a case of select by skills needed and get on with it.  This does not leave me with great expectations for when the new Avengers series starts up.

We'll see.
