****Actual Rating 2.5 Stars****
I get the feeling the author didn’t know what to do with this volume but needed something to bridge the events of the first one with the events in the third one so he just randomly pulled this idea out of a hat and went with it. I kinda wish he hadn’t, lol. Or at least if he had maybe approach it differently? Because what even was this?
(And we’re not even going to talk about the melting graffiti art style that I hate so much…)
Basically Thor, Captain Marvel, and Doctor Strange get sucked into a magical ruby where it brainwashed them (mostly Thor and Carol) into fighting all the time. Sounds really cool, except we only see them get sucked in through a flashback, which I think would have worked better as the beginning of the story to set up context and really set the clock for the other Avengers to get them out. And Count Nefaria (that name—really dude? That’s the cheesiest comic book villain name I’ve ever heard of 😂) wants the stone because…he wants to rule the world? Destroy the Avengers? It’s unclear and he’s honestly a lame bad guy when in volume one it was eluded that he would be a lot bigger threat then he turned out to be, another example of how I don’t think the author knew what to do with this story. There also was only like one line that was funny in the slightest, otherwise zlich, nada, no humor anywhere which was really annoying.
Doctor Strange is basically useless here! Why IS he here? I get that his magic doesn’t work in the ruby but why? Give me a one sentence reason at least! Nah, he just can’t for some reason, which is stupid since both Thor and Captain Marvel can use their powers soooo…where’s the logic in that? Also Doctor Strange tries to stop Thor from doing something by talking him down. When has that ever worked with Thor when he’s in fighting mode?! Just tackle him or something! Don’t just stand there yapping while his life and sanity are on the line! That’s your friend! Good grief this made no sense at all. 🤦🏼♀️ Also his and the good Count’s appearances were too alike, so much so I was confused in one panel as to why Black Widow was punching Doctor Strange until I realized it was the other guy, oops.
I really wanted to like this, but I guess I can’t always have everything I want.

The Avengers are trying to take down Nefaria and the rest of A.I.M. without trapping Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, and Thor inside the Ruby permanently.
If you haven't read the first volume in this series, I recommend you do before reading this. It is confusing enough with a future moment followed by a flashback that shows how this book connects to the events at the end of the first volume. The Avengers have a bit of stickler of a situation on their hands, but they face it with clever tactics. Recommended for young adult Marvel fans (though approachable for middle grade fans too).
Notes on content: No language issues or sexual content. Several fighting sequences with some minor injuries.

Druga część według mnie jest ciekawsza, o wiele bardziej mnie zainteresowała. Jednoczesne akcje odbywające sie w dwóch wymiarach oraz humor relacji Thor - Captain Marvel 😅

Sry, thought this was an ‘original’ Avengers story. Captain Marvel is NOT a female. It changes the whole dynamics of the situations. There’s plenty of original females superheroes that you don’t need to switch them.
