Out of the blue, but I have really enjoyed this series as it comes to a conclusion. Out now is New Avengers #10 from Marvel Comics, and it is my pick of the week!
WHO IS THE SHADOW BOSS?
The New Avengers enact their final strike on the Killuminati, but before they can destroy the villainous doubles, they have to deal with the traitor at the heart of their own team. But Iron Apex and his twisted team have one last trick up their sleeve as the identity of the Killuminati’s creator is finally revealed!
Author: Sam Humphries
Artists: Stephen Segovia, and Ton Lima
I don’t think this series has been heavily on people’s radar, but I would happily get a collected edition of this story arc. The blend of characters is interesting, with some very strong personalities. In this final issue, many mysteries are solved, and the characters are put back in their boxes.
Even so, it delivered a fair amount of action, some humour and character moments. Both from the Avengers and the Killuminati. Some clever art and some good use of colour, and the different power dynamics.
There was even a cameo by Captain Marvel, which added some tension to the team dynamic (Carnage on the Avengers?).
This was a story with a good beginning and middle; this issue is certainly the end. Yes, the team could reform, but it was nicely set up as a complete arc, with no little hints at the end!
