148. Avengers vol 1 #238 ... Marvel ...

Well, with the current popularity in the movie-verse of Marvel characters and more specifically Avengers- related characters, not surprising that here we dive back into the Avengers back issue bins, eh?

This is a good example of a "normal" issue in the Avengers of old ... basically you pick up an issue and there would be some sub plots that reach maturity while others are moving along and still others are introduced ... then at the same time you are given your action sequences for the month plus some personal character development ... all this wrapped in 20+ pages in nice colouring and proper artwork that is neither flashy nor just full of motion lines

So how is this issue? Awesome!

The Vision had been injured in a battle issues ago ... and as the cover showed, in this issue he managed to find a way to return himself to "active" duty ... though the return is somewhat of a twist ... also as the cover indicates, his compadre or partner in crime is new Avenger in training, Starfox of Titan ... for apparently Starfox managed to assist him by connecting him to the intelligent network on Titan

So while the return is surprising ... in the hands of an ordinary writer, this would have been the culmination of the past few issues of built up ... but not here ... apparently there is more to come in the Vision's new abilities that will built up and up and up to even more spiralling storylines. That was how good the writers and comic book makers were waaaay back in those days

Ratings: 7/10
