139. West Coast Avengers Limited Series #2 ... Marvel ...

The ... Blank ... really? Seriously?

Don't get me wrong. I loved this entire limited series and the first two years or so of the ongoing series but what a lame ass title for a villain and putting him on the cover? Ugh! But after you read this issue, you will realize ... hey it ain't all lame ... it's just whoever thought that this type of cover would attract readers ... darn!!!

Anyway, after the first issue, we have the makings of a new sub-division of the Avengers. So naturally, there must be a villain, right? And in the west, it's not just super-heroics but also super-villains who are engaged in the same type of villainy as regular folks i.e. crime

At the back of it all, there is a master criminal, someone far more powerful than the Blank. However, at the start, the Avengers didn't know and crazy or not, the Blank even gave them a challenging time. Hahaha!

But the most interesting thing about this comic is the development of camaraderie and easy banter between Hawkeye and his new team mates more than the fisticuffs. And the artwork with colours ain't all that bad too. This is 80s comics done right, artwise and colours that is
