These ain't your daddy's Avengers! And there came a day, unlike any other, when Doctor Doom ruled the world - and he needed an Avengers team all his own! Kristoff Vernard, son of Victor Von Doom, has been tasked with building the newest iteration of Earth's Mightiest Heroes! But who are these would-be heroes? And how did they come to be the Superior Avengers? The squad is tasked with hunting down one of the Fantastic Four's most sinister Diablo! But as the cracks begin to show in this alliance, where does each member's loyalty lie? And can they stay together long enough to reach their ultimate goal? How long before the inevitable happens, and the Superior Avengers must clash with the Avengers?
There was potential but it wasn't realized. Maybe just something with Kristoph would have been better, trying to make Daddy proud during one world under doom. all other characters lack development. Doom arrives and it ends. LOVED all the Kyle Hotz pages.
Considering there is a grand total of 1 single character in this book that existed before it started, I actually really started to care about this band of gigantic assholes. This is no Dark Avengers or Thunderbolts - this is a team of horrible people doing good things for horrible reasons, and it kind of revels in that for the most part.
It's fun to read something so unapologetically mean. Like, Kristoff Vernard, and to an extent Ghost, are trying their best, but everyone else is just out to murder and maim and kill, even if they have a semi-good reason for doing so, told through creepy as hell flashbacks from artist Kyle Hotz, who does horror like no other. Do I ever want to see these awful people again? No. But did I have a lot of fun enjoying them while they were here? For sure. Well done to Steve Foxe for telling a compelling tale with characters I absolutely loved to hate.
This was just cool. I'll say doom was barely in it but makes the story really compelling regardless. The team is cool and interesting. Some of their thought processes and motivations are a bit confusing and the sequence changes will give whiplash.
Not that I didn’t enjoy this, the fights were cool. But I just didn’t really connect with it. I couldn’t care about the alternate future the team was from, I didn’t care about any of the characters at all, why should I care for them? They don’t like Doom, okay, but they don’t care about stopping him to help people just to help themselves. The back and forth between art styles between modern day and future didn’t work for me either. I just feel like this could have been executed better, starting with characters that are actually interesting to follow.
