So here's a rundown of the best Avengers vs Marvel covers, right to number one. Starting off, the three title clashes between Cap's team and the Justice League-ish Squadron Supreme.
Avengers vol1 #93 (vs The Fantastic Four by Neal Adams), Avengers vol1 #350 (vs The Starjammers by Steve Epting), Avengers vol1 #53 (vs The X-Men by John Buscema), and the number one champion?
AVENGERS Vol 1 #3 (vs The Hulk and Sub-Mariner by Jack Kirby) Not only is it a sweet angle done by the late, great Jack Kirby, there's something to be said for the days of Marvel where Namor would just show up and pick a fight with that title's hero.
Plus as half of the most iconic Defenders line-up, it gets even cooler when you picture your perspective as that of the Silver Surfer or Dr Strange!
These new Thunderbolts are corssing over in a lot of different storylines. It makes me wonder if Marvel has a lack of faith in them being able to carry a book on their own.
ReplyDeleteDan, I wanted to ask you something. Assuming there will actually be a new "man without fear", who do you think will take over Daredevil's post?
Hey Kello, thanks for the great comments!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised the Thunderbolts went into Shadowland, but then again maybe the chance to see Juggernaut smash Hand ninjas, was to tempting to pass up! This I think lends itself a bit more naturally, but hopefully they'll be a bit more solo afterwards.
Who do I reckon should step in as Daredevil? As a Hornhead fan I always thought that the successor should be the Black Widow, 'the woman without fear' but as she has her own book at the mo' I doubt that's headed our way.
I would love it to be Nightcrawler, that would have alot of great angles to play off, while keeping the books religious overtones - but in reality I'm thinking it will be Black Tarantula, who Matt's been helping get back on the straight and narrow for a while.
So much for a short answer huh? Who do you think it will be?
I wish it could be Falcon. But I don't see him supporting a monthly book, so I'm guessing T'Challa will be the one to take over DD's spot, at least for a little while.
