Carnage. The Hulk. Namor. Clea. Wolverine. Five of the most dangerous loners and antiheroes in the Marvel Universe. Nothing could make them work together…but Bucky Barnes and the Black Widow are going to give it a shot. Demented duplicates of the Illuminati are threatening the world, and if they figure out how to work together, they'll be as unstoppable as the originals. Bucky and Natasha need allies who will do anything to take the duplicates out - but wrangling a team of killers and monsters presents its own dangers. Welcome to the New Avengers - hope you survive the experience!
Just read The New Avengers #1 by Sam Humphries — it’s a bit of a chaotic start with a big cast and a tone that bounces around, but there’s enough charm and intrigue to keep me on board for now. I’m curious to see how all the moving parts come together.
Also worth noting: Hulk and Carnage are on the cover but don’t show up in the issue, which feels like a tease, but hopefully they’re fun additions down the line. After a string of Marvel books I’ve dropped, it’s nice to finally find one I’m sticking with. 3.5 stars
A fun introduction to a new comic arc! I really like the characters they chose to include in this new team who are “definitely not a team”. And honestly I just love seeing Bucky in a leadership position, even if he is a human version of a raccoon who lives in an emptied water tank 😅 Couldn’t be further from Tony Stark if they tried haha. Waiting for the next instalments is going to be so frustrating.
A decent start with some ok art. The team so far is entertaining and the action delivered. No Hulk or Carnage yet so things could get really bonkers with this.
Points for the killuminati being fun, but FUUUUUUUCK Bucky’s name being changed back to The Winter Soldier SUCKS. I didn’t like many things about the Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing Captain America run, but The Revolution was fuckin’ cool. Sucks ass that his name is reverting. Also kinda disappointing that we don’t get to see the other members of the team yet, I thought Carnage was supposed to be here too..
