3.30 (750) West Coast Avengers Ltd Series #3 and 4 ... #Avengers

[This is posted on 27th Nov 2017]

We celebrate our 750th review by reviewing one of the most entertaining limited series we have ever read which is WCA during its inception. This series basically takes off from the main Avengers series when the Vision sends Hawkeye to the West Coast with his new bride, Mockingbird to set up new branch for the Avengers as apparently there are too many villains and for Hawk, this is a great opportunity. Of course later on in the main Avengers' series, we see that it is because of the Vision wanting to control the world!!! Hahaha!!!

Anyway, after a great opening two issues where we see Hawkeye reviewing potential candidates and shortlisting and recruit Tigra, Iron Man (Rhodes not Tony) and Wonder Man, the first villain they encountered was someone new called the blank

SPOILER ALERT

And in this series we finally found out that the blank is part of the henchmen for Graviton who is back and power mad. He intends to rule the entire West Coast crimelord (geez is that all hahaha). At least he scaled down his ambition. But to do so to get everyone to respect him, he has to show his powers and boy did he do a great job

Highlights include:

Shroud - guest stars and was sent hurtling out to see nearly killing him

Wonder Man - pinned to the bottom of the pool and it is a good thing he doesn't need to breath. If not, he would be dead (once more)

Obviously as there is 102 issues of the ongoing to come you can all imagine that the Whackos won, right? But the artwork is great, the action scenes fluid and lots of character development with the end a BBQ a new tradition from Hawkeye that we get to see later on in subsequent issues as well which is nice

Ratings: 8/10
