Avengers members past and present The Avengers: The Korvac Saga various allies started disappearing mysteriously, popping away in front of their friends. Michael killed the Collector before he could expose him, precipitating a final showdown that left most of the heroes near death. This was a massive saga with universe-shattering stakes. The fractured core team had to find a way to reunify, just as a massive infusion of former members and allies descended on their doorstep. He would have a profound impact on Moondragon, especially, propelling her down some dark roads in the years to come. Several characters made progress dealing with their respective personal issues. Seeing the team commandeer a city bus to transport them to the climactic showdown was a wonderfully bizarre detail. A small army of writers and artists worked on this saga. That it holds The Avengers: The Korvac Saga so well is an accomplishment of strong editing. Avengers: The Korvac Saga is one of the most famous Avengers arcs and a must read for fans. A version of The Avengers: The Korvac Saga review originally appeared on www. Nov 22, Scott rated it it was ok Shelves: comics-and-graphic-novels. This volume collects a ten-issue epic fromfrom issues of Avengers and a Thor The Avengers: The Korvac Saga. Korvac was a slave of The Avengers: The Korvac Saga alien Badoon until he used their own technology to break free. Gathering power along the way, he travels from the The Avengers: The Korvac Saga century to our time, intending to remake the world, bringing him into conflict with both the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy. I never really liked Jim Shooter's writing much, even as a kid, and he handles most of this story arc and seems to direct the res This volume collects a ten-issue epic fromfrom issues of Avengers and a Thor Annual. I never really liked Jim Shooter's writing much, even as a kid, and he handles most of this story arc and seems to direct the rest, as there isn't a noticeable difference among the other writers who contribute. There are too many attempts to be funny that just come off as embarrassing, too much petty, annoying bickering amongst the teammates and too many broad, hand-wavy explanations for everything. Korvac's origin is a particularly egregious example; he escapes from Thor and the Guardians and just happens to teleport right to Galactus' world-ship. The Avengers: The Korvac Saga he plugs himself in and woohoo instant near-omnipotence. Honestly, I don't expect real, hard science from this but at least make something up that sounds plausible. There is an odd sequence where the Avengers, needing to get somewhere but having their jet flight privileges revoked, take a bus--despite the fact that about half of them can fly under their own power. Ultron makes a less-than-stellar showing around the middle of the volume, hiding out in a convent! We find that the Avengers have been "immunized" to his primary means of attack. How does that work, exactly? The Scarlet Witch's involvement in this battle was referenced when Ultron returned a couple years later, but this really dumb plot device is never heard from again. Nor is the deus-ex-machina way in which Thor finally defeats the robot. And what on Earth is Nighthawk doing in here? He shows up at a fashion show, something he admits he wouldn't normally do, for no apparent reason. I like a lot of s Marvel, but the Avengers wouldn't reach greatness until about a half a year later. A complicated epic involving the most complex of characters, Korvac or later, Michael. It starts with Thor teaming with the original Guardians of the Galaxy to take on this mad machine man who is tormented and yearning for power like they all do then it moves to an awkward time within the Avengers, fighting and disloyalty is high, some government official basically comes in and shuts them down leaving them with lacklustre means, even Nick Fury abandons them as the Avengers lose all their prior A complicated epic involving the most complex of characters, Korvac or later, Michael. It starts with Thor teaming with the original Guardians of The Avengers: The Korvac Saga Galaxy to take on this mad machine man who is tormented and yearning for power like they all do then The Avengers: The Korvac Saga moves to an awkward time within the Avengers, fighting and disloyalty is high, some government official basically comes in and shuts them down leaving them with lacklustre means, even Nick Fury abandons them as the Avengers lose all their priority clearance. Stressful times ahead so how do they cope when past and present Avengers keep disappearing and who is Michael. Without giving too much away the Korvac Saga leads up to what you expect a huge battle but are the Avengers really the bad guys at of the day. I totally felt for Michael but then he wanted to rule the world even if he wanted to save it make it better, the likes of Hitler said similar doings and we know how that ended, so was the Avengers right to not allow him to The Avengers: The Korvac Saga ahead as planned. One will never know. Sep 07, Patrickderaaff rated it really liked it Shelves: avengers. As a youngster I marveled at the scope of this story, but I was unable to find all the back issues that were translated into Dutch in second hand shops. You can imagine how pleased I am now to own the whole story in one tpb! The pencils by George Perez are great, the style of the other artists is not The Avengers: The Korvac Saga thing. It's nice to see the Thor Annual with the Guardians of t As a youngster I marveled at the scope of this story, but I was unable to find all the back issues that were translated into Dutch in second hand comic book shops. It's nice to see the Thor Annual with the Guardians of the Galaxy included, even though the storytelling style there is totally over the top. Good fun really regardless of some obvious flaws and a great addition to my collection finally! In retrospect this is one of the foundation stones that pointed the way to the future of modern comics. In the economically testing 70s the government interference and cuts storylines were very much on the nose and read so again to a modern British reader like me. The Avengers: The Korvac Saga is ridiculous, epic and yet has room The Avengers: The Korvac Saga ponder moral questions. What also raises it above the usual superhero fare is the essentially tragic nature of the villain. The answer is therefore rooted in character, lending a tragic air to proceedings. Of course, being forty years old a lot of the attitudes on The Avengers: The Korvac Saga are out of date, as happens to all art over time. But this is a reminder of how inventive Marvel of the 70s was and how fortunate I was to be brought up on them. Tremendous fun. Jun 03, Tone rated it it was amazing Shelves: comicssuperhero. What it must have been like to read that final fight scene at the time. There really had never been someone who walked over the Avengers like that before. Sep 01, Buddy Scalera rated it liked it. I have mixed feelings on this one. I read this as a kid and remembered it fondly. Reading it now felt like a lot of work. Comics of that era had a lot The Avengers: The Korvac Saga long exposition designed to make every issue clear to new readers.
