I think nostalgia is why people seem to appreciate this arc so much. Also, it actually changed things going forward (at least for a little while). I honestly don't understand how anyone could think Wanda Maximoff ever caught a break writing wise. So much of her storylines revolved around other people thinking she was too mentally deranged to make decisions for herself or control her abilities. Which - I will argue until I die - they do not do this with male characters nearly as much as they do w...
Avengers Mansion ‘splodes! Ultrons attack - and then Kree! Heroes die, She-Hulk hulks out, and Tony gets drunk at the UN! Whas goin onnnn…?! Avengers Disassembled hasn’t aged well in the 17 years since it was published. Brian Bendis goes full Bendis in this one, giving readers the entire gamut of “exciting” action Avengers tropes for what I’m sure was a big deal at the time (or at least was meant to feel like it) but looks silly and pointless now. All of the characters who die in this book have
"Please, Doctor Strange, I don't understand. What is happening to us?" -- Captain MarvelWhat happens in Disassembled is, simply put, likely the worst or darkest day in the storied superhero team's then-40 year-old history. In the initial two chapters there are multiple characters deaths, two public freak-outs (one embarrassing and one downright frightening), an injury so severe it causes long-term hospitalization in intensive care (a shockingly rare occurrence in this genre), and several million...
Scarlet Witch may have lost it a bit. Alright. I wanted to see what kicked off Wanda's nervous breakdown. <--the one that led to the infamous House of M stuff. You know, that time she went nutty and created fake kids that eventually got reabsorbed into the cosmos or whatever.But this really isn't that. It's where Scarlet Witch remembers that she had fake kids that got reabsorbed into the cosmos, and then goes bonkers and fucks the Avengers over.Big time.At first, they don't know what the hell is...
Re-read this 7-8 years after this very early re-introduction by Bendis to my long absence from the Avengers. If half of what was hinted at in this takedown was true, I can't imagine slogging through years of the drudgery and soap opera that must've been the 90's. My god, all the second-rate oddities and the terrible plots...Bendis' disruption would've been a welcome clearing of that house of cards. (Or so I imagine.)So why on second glance doesn't this feel more satisfying? There's a lot of seri...
When superheroes are forced to confront their human fallacies and debate their own "good" intentions, I simply can not look away.In "Avengers Disassembled", a panoply of super-folk are pushed to their physical limits as well as their mental limits when the Scarlet Witch suffers a cataclysmic emotional breakdown while coming to terms with the loss of her children. Events spiral out of control placing all of New York at risk and ending the lives of several of the Marvel Universe's most beloved her...
Everyone and every group has good days as well as bad days. Well when you are a team of super heroes the same applies, but to a much larger scale. This is a story of the Avengers worst day. Tony Stark threatens to kill an ambassador from Latveria, Avengers die, and the Avengers Mansion is destroyed all in a few hours. No one can seem to figure out what's happening as the day gets worse and worse. Avengers Disassembled is sad in a real and poignant way. Everything that happens and the way the tea...
