Now as you recall from our last review, we were rambling on about writers ... and not artists ... which is a rarity for this review column, eh? Well, here again, they proved how good the writers were because that final closing panel is opening right into this issue and it actually leads into the massive blow-out as per the cover!
And just who is this wonderful writer? None other than Jim Shooter ... who in time will become EIC of Marvel and who will go on to develop Valiant and Defiant
Actually in this very issue there is a new villain who in time to come will be one of the Avengers deadliest villains but as you see, here in this issue, he doesn't even rate a cover appearance so good is the storyline ...
The focus is on the Vision and his continuing doubts about his humanity after meeting Simon Williams, the man whose brain patterns served as the foundation of the Vision's programming (yes it's all very confusing so you should read the comic hahaha) ...
Anyway as the cover shows, as Simon offers Wanda (the Vision's wife) a comforting arm ... the Vision's brewing emotions went into overload and the 2 men (or men and android or synthozoid) ... decided to have it out ... while the rest of the team came running in breathless after their knocked about from last issue ... and decided to let the 2 combatants spar
All the while, in the back ground, a new villainous plot is materializing while the hint from last issue takes a back seat here ... who is the villain in this issue? GRAVITON
Yup master of gravity ... we got his "how I came into my powers" storyline told in a few effective passages ... we got a demonstration of his powers and how he is becoming kookoo ... and we even got to see how he decided to become a supervillain ... you have the Avengers to blame actually ... what do we mean?
Go read the comic - hah!
Suffice to say, when the heroes finally got their act together to confront the baddie, the same thing, except worse, happened just like the last issue! And we ended this issue on a definite cliffhanger. So if anyone who read this and like it will definitely be back next issue!
