Morgana Le Fay returns back to life and continues to
attack Doctor Doom’s Latveria. The Dark Avengers continue to try and save him
from the sorceress. But can they really prevail, when every time they kill her,
she comes back from the past alive and well?
The store I go to ran out of Dark Avengers #2 for some
reason, so I never got to see what the deal was on that issue. I haven’t heard
of Marvel Comics issuing second prints. Pity, because with this issue, I’ve decided
that this series would definitely stay on my pull list. Who knew reading about
a bunch of villains masquerading as Avengers would be so fun. A while back
Bendis introduced a subplot with Doctor Doom travelling to the past to make a
deal with the sorceress Morgana Le Fay. It seems like Doom has broken part of
his deal and it’s payback time. What I enjoyed the most was seeing Norman
Osborn act so effectively and as a thorough leader for his gang of thugs. This
series has something going on. Of course, the best part of this series was
seeing Osborn convince the Sentry that he wasn’t crazy and that he heard no
voices.
The artwork this issue is better than in the first issue.
The weird posing has stopped and Deodato shows he can stage a fight scene. Now,
if only his Nixon interpretation of Osborn could become the norm at Marvel
Comics, that would be just sweet.
I skimmed through this when it came out at the shop, there's nothing particularity wrong with this but to the same degree there's nothing about this series that makes me want to buy it, there's plenty of other stuff to spend money on. To me its a cast i care nothing for doing things that aren't that interesting. It's been done before with a cast i at least cared whether they survived till the end. In a full market be sure you want this before buying, i personally didn't.
