Avengers #3 Review

Writer: Jason Aaron / Artists: Ed McGuinness and Paco Medina / Marvel Comics I have the most prophetic feeling that in 13 years a 30-year-old is going to be going on about Jason Aaron’s Avengers being their defining introduction to Marvel Comics. The same way I feel about Bendis’ New Avengers from 2004, I can see the makings of a voice with the potential to shape the Marvel Universe for the foreseeable future. Captain America and Iron Man debating getting the Avengers back together. A threat bringing together heroes by matter of circumstance. This book echoes the points hit in the comic that brought me into the world of Marvel. Aaron brings a wit, silliness, and bite to this story. Captain Marvel and Iron Man shout each other down and reference their last clash when Thor chimes in, “Nay! Cease thy Civil Warring!” I have had no interest in the new Ghost Rider but he brings youth to the team like Spider-Man, very much aware of being out of his league. Oh This HAS to be the Next Movie Poster I find She-Hulk to be a solid addition; the Wild Card. She gets to be terrifyingly angry towards a new character like Ghost Rider but then another hero more familiar with her is confused and use to her being in control. It’s glorious when she gives Captain Marvel a solid, I’m Hulk-ing and would rather not get into how pissed off I am. Ed McGuinness and his creative team give us some captivating visuals. The coloring and the line work just pop, especially with the pulsating action throughout…
