Avengers-The Children's Crusade issue 8


I must say this book has been a pleasant surprise! Especially issues 7 and 8.

The end of issue 7 where Doom manages to usurp and claim Scarlet Witch's reality-altering powers was pretty great,  However, it does not compare to the moment in issue 8 when Doctor Doom, nonchalantly,  employs those powers and shows our heroes what he can give back to them. Doom offers hope. These characters have evolved with their powers from novice beginnings to adaptation and Doom has the juicy capability to feed upon their soft spots.

Also in Issue 8, we see Cyclops without his glasses, Beast without his fur, and the idea of resurrection. Resurrection enthuses me for I get to see these characters back in continuity.
 
I think Jim Cheung is a great sequential artist, but panel 1 of page 15, is absolutely amazing. Mr Cheung's drawing where Doctor Doom offers the possibility of resurrecting some of my favorite hero's is incredibly thrilling! Heroes such as Nightcrawler, Jean Gray, Wasp, and dare I say it....Captain Marvel!

But, the creme de la creme was the ending...Bravo! Heinberg,Cheung, Morales and Ponsor, you have created an amazing story so far and it looks like it will be leading into Marvel's next big summer event.

Oh, and there is a new exhilarating adventure of Brownies and Broadswords online...check it out!! www.browniesandbroadswords.com
