Avengers Epic Collection, Vol. 13: Seasons of the Witch

Avengers Epic Collection

by Roger Stern

The old order changeth once again in a glorious, fan-favorite period for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, the Avengers!

The Avengers welcome the powerful new Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau, into their ranks — just in time to witness the trial of one of their stalwart members, Hank Pym! Then, Thanos’ fun-loving brother Starfox joins the roster for an adventure to the Inhumans’ refuge on the moon and an uncanny team-up of sorts with the Fantastic Four — which will have lasting repercussions for the Vision! As Scarlet Witch fears for her synthezoid husband, Doctor Strange seeks her aid on a search for the Darkhold! But will a cash-strapped Spider-Man find gainful employment as the newest Avenger? Super villains cause pandemonium at Project Pegasus, and Hawkeye goes solo — but when Clint Barton meets Mockingbird, Cupid is the one firing all the arrows!

First time getting into a Marvel Epic Collection, and I must say I'm hooked. I liked the introduction of Monica Rambeau and her ascension in the Avengers ranks as well as the Hawkeye mini story. It kind of dragged on a bit in the middle but I just need to learn to appreciate the older comics. I probably won't be getting any EC from the Silver Age though.

pretty solid read, all of it was consistent and good. I liked the Hank Pym arc at the beginning, and the Hawkeye solo series was a standout. all around a good read that has me wanting to read more, which hasn't been true from other avengers epic collections I've read.

The beginning of Roger Stern’s fantastic Avengers run.

[Steven desJardins · Rating 4 out of 5]

Stern's not the best Avengers writer, his character work is a bit flat, but he writes decent superhero plots and outshines some periods in Avengers history. He's miles above the Byrne Fantastic Four issue included in this collection, or the Mark Gruenwald Hawkeye series (which I would have been happy to see omitted in favor of more Avengers issues). Happy to have this collection on my shelf.
