Empyre: Avengers #2 Review: A Military Composed Of Salad
All around the world, the vegetative forces of the alien race called the Coati are attacking the forces of humanity. Khartoum, DC, Caracas, Manhattan, Lisbon, Navojoa, Manila, Yokohama … and especially the Savage Land, which is the focus of much of this issue. The just barely unified forces of the Kree and the Skrull, ancestral enemies bound together to fight the common threat of the Coati, face motley collections of heroes and vigilantes trying to hold the line with no idea of the end game.
Jim Zub's script has a number of entertaining moments, and his dialogue sparkles as he brings out the charm in Wonder Man and the amusing (for the reader) world-weariness of the Black Knight, stuck in year another over the top kerfluffle.
Empyre: Avengers #2Jim Zub, Carlos Magno, Steve McNivenEarth's Mightiest Heroes fight an intergalactic foe on three fronts! In New York, a villain from the past has been super charged with alien energy. In Mexico, old hatreds turn allies into enemies. And in the Savage Land, the soul of the jungle has been stolen and Shanna the She-Devil's life hangs in the balance. It's mystery, magic and mayhem, in the Mighty Marvel Manner!
