Some stories were better than others The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore there was a great mix of characters and the art did not disappoint! Nov 09, Rachel rated it really liked it. I enjoyed this, but I was frustrated. The center of most of these stories is the origin of the Maximoff twins or Frank, or whatever their last name is and knowing that in current comics it has The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore retconned so a lot of what we learn here is moot But other than that it was fun. I liked seeing Falcon join the Avengers, and watching them deal with bureaucracy is always a great mixture of amusing and frustrating. May 14, Laura Stericker rated it liked it. Fun, if a little tacky. This edition suffered for being in black and white, particularly the first comic featuring a truly crazy number of characters.

If not for three issues at the beginning that were not written by David Michelinie an outstanding writer and drawn by Byrne then this would be a five star review. The first story in my edition but maybe not every edition The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore by Steve Gerber and it was a focus on the Beast and was a strange tale that had no business being in the Avengers OR a comic book.

Then was a very boring two-parter with Bloodhawk, one of those villains that had no personality and looked like he was created in three seconds. A very forgettable phoned in two issues by Ton DeFalco. Then we get to David Michelinie who shows the rest of them how to do it - he shakes up the Avengers by limiting their roster adding Falcon over Hawkeye which was a less than wise move story-wise and then we launch into an enjoyable series of tales with the Avengers ending with a look into Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch's past. A little too much on the flashbacks and it does get confusing with all the exposition - but with Byrne's art they are still very enjoyable. Mar 17, Draackje rated it liked it Shelves: comics. Nights of Wundagore contains stories about the origins of the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Both new characters for The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore, and this was a very decent introduction. The history of the characters was summarized in an entertaining way, their relationship with the Avengers was laid out, their childhood issues were explained, and some mystical magical concepts were introduced. Although it felt a little bit dated, I was still entertained and even intrigued by the Scarlet Witch and her potential adventures. Looking forward to reading more about her!

Although, I'm not totally sure why Scarlet Witch had to get possessed besides the fact that it reunited the twins with the rest of the Avengers. Apr 14, Brian Poole rated it really liked it. Hawkeye lingered for a few issues, helping the core team fight the Absorbing Man, a Thor villain given gratifyingly complex treatment here. Avengers: Nights of Wundagore was an important arc that set in motion a lot of the things that writers would do with the Scarlet Witch over the following three decades. With The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore characterization and complex interpersonal dynamics, it was a vital run of The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore series. The revolving door for writers continued, but strong editorial oversight kept it all consistent. Most importantly, John Byrne came aboard as regular penciler for a stint that would last nearly a year. A version of this review originally appeared The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore www. Jan 22, Sebastian The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore rated it liked it. There is a strong sense of nostalgia reading this title. Wordy and nerdy, it was a time of innocence but dated. Jan 05, Doctor Alpha rated it it was amazing. A nice slice of Marvel Lore with a really touching ending scene. It also made me fall in love with Scarlet Witch, a character I really never cared for, so kudos for that. This volume collects issues — and gives us the full origin story of the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver as well as a nice interlude where the Avengers face off the Absorbing Man. Apart from this main overarching story concerning the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver's origin, there are also problems involving the Avengers reclaiming their security clearance from the US government, not to mention their less than co-operative government liaison, Henry Gyrich, shaking up the membership roster.

It attempts to reconcile contradictory details about their background while connecting the two characters to other unrelated events and characters in Marvel making them part of the grander tapestry of the Marvel Universe while throwing in a plot about Avengers having trouble with their security clearance. It must be convoluted for casual readers but remains a good read for anyone interested in the development of Marvel storytelling and Avengers mythology. Jan 28, The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore Brennan rated it liked it Shelves: comics. The story starting off really good with the governmental enforced change in the Avengers roster, and the search by Wanda and Pietro for details of their past - then very last issue a change in writer? Great artwork by Byrne who was the herald of the British invasion in comics. Feb 20, Rob rated it it was ok Shelves: comics. The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore always surprised at these bits of legendary Marvel lore that seem so momentous when they are constantly referred to, but when you finally read the stories, they are so much less so. The secrets of the history of the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver! The High Evolutionary's mysterious experiments! But here it's just a chat with a talking cow and a fight with a run of the mill demon.

Wonder Man and Beast catch a movie and afterward discuss the psychological role that heroes play for the general public. Wonder Man is baffled as to why regular people flock to heroes instead of leading their own The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore. The Beast suggests that normal people need to have heroes to shake up their everyday lives. He demonstrates by performing a superhuman feat of agility on the street, much to the admiration of passers-by. When they return to the mansion, Wonder Man inserts his key and is caught off guard when security coils emerge from the doorway to apprehend them. The two manage to disentangle themselves, however. Thinking something is wrong, Wonder Man bursts through the door to find a technician Scott Lang installing The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore hardware. Stark informs them that the coils The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore part of new security parameters being installed. Stark has convinced The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore to reinstate the team's security clearances provided they agree to a new set of terms and conditions. Gyrich then curtly instructs the two heroes to go to the conference room where he'll make known the rest of his demands for the Avengers' priority status to be returned to them. In his private quarters, Stark changes into his The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore armor and laments how "fighting through red tape has become harder than punching through brick walls. Outside the Mansion, a cab drops a mysterious white-bearded person. He produces an odd-looking gemstone and begins to chant. He tells them that they have to pare down to seven members and then proceeds to tell them who The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore members will be, much to Iron-Man's chagrin. Hawkeye stridently objects that he's being excluded and that a non-member who's never even met most of the team is being inducted. Iron Man also objects but Gyrich tells them equal opportunity for minorities is a federal requirement for all government-related agencies. Captain America chimes in to defend his friend the Falcon. Thor carries Pietro to the infirmary and then departs to get a doctor i. Don Blake. Outside, the mysterious white-bearded man smiles as he places something in a large carpet bag. The few remaining non-core members such as Hawkeye, Wonder Man and Yellowjacket -- have to be gone in 24 hours. At that moment, Wanda also mysteriously collapses. Blake reveals that Wanda's symptoms appear to be similar to her brother's and that Quicksilver's test results just came in: his heart no longer beats and his he is no longer breathing, but his body isn't decaying. He and Wanda are neither dead nor alive. Soon afterward, the mysterious white-bearded figure checks into a hotel in the Bowery and opens his bag to reveal two little wooden figures carved to look like Wanda and Pietro in cages, and they're moving! Not only that, but the man refers to them as The bodies of Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch lay inert and lifeless in the Avengers Mansion infirmary. Doctor Blake has determined that while they are not fully alive they are not truly dead either. He says it is as if their souls have been stolen. Jocasta pipes in that her own cybernetic senses have detected an energy signature leading from the mansion, across the city to the Bowery neighborhood. Agent Gyrich is taken aback to realize that Jocasta is a sentient being and not some pre-programmed robot. Jocasta rattles him with some self-deprecating humor, however. She asks him if the U. Hawkeye balks at missing out at his last official mission as an Avenger. Wonder Man volunteers to remain behind, and so the rest of the team head for the Bowery. At that very moment in a seedy Bowery flophouse, a strange scene unfolds. A white-bearded man, Django Maximoff, insists that they are his own long-lost children, Ana and Mateo. Django, however, recounts a very different version of their childhood: how he raised them as members of a Roma gypsy tribe and how they used their powers which Django believed stemmed from his magical runestone for the good of the caravan. But as his tale ends, he senses the approach of the Avengers. The Avengers arrive in their sky-sled and Django uses a magical runestone to animate mannequins in a nearby warehouse to attack them. They destroy them easily enough. And in this fantasy world, he conjures three adversaries -- Toad, Princess Python, and Nighthawk -- to combat the team. The Avengers spring into action but nothing they do seems to affect their foes. By focusing their mental energy, they see through the illusion. Django grabs the cages and the runestone and bolts out the door. But he is stopped in his tracks by a seething-mad Vision gliding up out of the ground before him. By The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore his solar energy through his forehead jewel, Vision incinerates the runestone, breaking the enchantment holding the twins. As the marionettes collapse, Django breaks down in sobs. Later, in the mansion, Wanda and Pietro are back to normal. Wanda asks The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore for a leave of absence to accompany Django back to his homeland, Transia. She is concerned about these files could be cross-referenced and therefore expose her true name. Tony Stark is present and suggests The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore Gyrich use retinal scans to ID the team members instead of fingerprints. Reluctantly, Gyrich agrees to this. A short while later in his private quarters, Stark happens to look out the window and see the garbage truck out front is having difficulties. After completing its route, the garbage truck heads to a dump in New Jersey to unload. After the maintenance men have departed, a strange occurrence takes place: splintered shards of glass flying towards each other and combining into form the body of Crusher Creel, the Absorbing Man! In Hoboken, Creel breaks into a clothing store after hours when only one employee, the hapless Sandy Herkowitz, is still there. Creel steals clothes to wear and breaks open the floor vault to produce some cash. The next day, Wanda and The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore are about to set sail on a steamer along with Django Maximoff. Wanda places a call to the Vision. Then, just as they are boarding the ship, Clint Hawkeye shows up to give her a farewell present and see them off. Wanda gives him a friendly hug. Now in desperate need of gainful employment, Hawkeye stops by a nearby greasy spoon diner for a cup of coffee. By coincidence, Creel, with Sandy in tow, stops in the same diner and literally bumps into Clint, spilling his coffee. Unaware of who he is, a Clint takes a swing at him only to hurt his fist as Creel turns into formica! The local sailors and dock workers realize who Creel is and decide to save Thor some trouble, only to get schooled themselves. Clint phones the Avengers and then quickly changes into costume to take on the bad guy. Marvel arrive. With Sandy in tow, Creel runs for the freighter. Crusher Creel, the Absorbing Man, has attempted to flee to The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore America with an unwilling companion, the hapless store clerk Sandy Herkowitz. The Avengers with pink-slipped member Hawkeye have intervened to capture him. But Creel has absorbed the power of a steam engine and is now a goliath. Marvel lands a blow on Creel, but he swats her away and she plunges into the harbor water. A concerned Beast dives in after her. Hawkeye and the Wasp land blows but cause Creel no damage. Meanwhile, Ms. Marvel emerges from the water having rescued the mortified Beast. They fly overhead and see their teammates in pitch combat with Creel. Back at the mansion, Jarvis is polishing the silver and listening to Gyrich gripe and complain about the Avengers never doing anything on a proper time schedule. Captain America and the Falcon are due to arrive so that the Falcon can be officially inducted onto the team. Iron Man pounces on his back and siphons off most of the electrical power running through him. Weaker, but still powerful, Creel tries to get the upper hand but The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore Man tosses him into a nearby warehouse. Marvel and the Beast follow after Creel while Iron Man soars up into the upper atmosphere to discharge excess energy. Cap and the Falcon arrive. Hawkeye is silently disdainful of the Falcon The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore his very first glimpse. Rushing into the warehouse, they discover that the Beast has seemingly captured Creel by juggling him! But Creel turns the tables by grabbing the Beast, making himself as agile as the mutant hero and throws Beast away from him. Cap tosses his shield at Creel which Beast quickly warns -- just a little too late -- that it is a bad idea. Unphased, Ms. Marvel springs into action against him. Herkowitz, who has been in hiding, emerges and quickly runs off the boat. While attempting to flee the scene, she happens to be walking past the front of the warehouse when Creel sends Ms. Marvel crashing through it. Noticing Sandy once more, Creel grabs her hand. Iron Man returns to the The Avengers: Nights of Wundagore but is stunned that his blows do nothing against Creel. Grabbing up Sandy in his arms, Creel makes a dash for the dock once more only to find that the freighter has set sail. Sandy is surprised at his action. He then lunges at the Vision, boasting that he can become anything he can touch. While their hands are clasped together, the Vision becomes intangible
