Picking up sort of where the previous book left off only with the completely out of the picturethe Dark Avengers are thrown into an alternate timeline where many of Marvel's greatest heroes are, get this, evil. An idea that's been done utterly to death, and in this instance offers only a mildly fresh take on the subject. Instead of having the alternate-universe heroes be fully evil, they're all essentially just territorial madmen. Still, for all intents and purposes, evil. The Dark Avengers take a big back seat to all of this nonsense that we inherently know will Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil matter in the long run, so there's no sense of peril or mounting tension. It's Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil a big list of "wouldn't it be cool ifs. I recommend his earlier stuff for sure, but you can ditch it after it turns into Dark Avengers for sure. Jul 21, Shannon Appelcline rated it really liked it Shelves: comicscomics-marvel. I must admit, I groaned when I realized that this was yet another dystopian Marvel future where the heroes have gone bad. Despite that, it turned out to be quite a good Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil. That's in part because Parker offered up some great characterization of our "Dark Avengers", in part because he offered up some surprising twists in the end, and in part because he offered up some real changes to the members of this crew. Now, we'll just have to see if those changes stick with future writers. View all 4 comments. Jeff Parker, who has written some wonderful books, ends the book with an arc that concentrates on other characters that will never be seen again. Sadly, nothing that made any of the Thunderbolts runs memorable is present here. The art, mostly by Neil Edwards, was better than the last volume as he really got creative with some of the alternate versions of some well-known heroes. Unfortunately, this book was a complete miss.

This works just a little better than the first volume, but at the end of the day, it's a giant story and not much more than that. Feb 01, Anchorpete rated it really liked it.

Over the course of five or six trades, Parker told this Epic story of time traveling, dimension hopping Villains, who are Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil trying to end their prison sentence, but keep getting side tracked. I think Moonstone Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil the one character that has been around Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil the very beginning of the Thunderbolts, decades ago, and she has also been on the two different versions of the Dark Avengers team. This final trade, written by parker, is so over the top, it gets a bit hard to keep track of what is going on. It is ok, however, since Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil set up of the parallel earth is pretty compelling. Oh, you have seen it all before, Heroes becoming evil and fighting against each other. That is the cliche story behind the parallel Earth in this book. The pace never slows down, and one major event leads to another big concept, over and over again, without pausing for a breath. It seems to be a part of Parker's style, and is why I am a big fan of his. Sep 07, Sonic rated it liked it. Dick book. There are so many good ideas here and yet only a few can be developed, and more good ideas might take over before that happens. But by the end of it I was satisfied, for the most part, with the explanation for the premise and for how it played out.

This is an awfully strange book in that it fails to give the readers any reason to care about virtually any of the characters,e except they look like familiar characters. The authors never explain who these people are and everyone is operating at a Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil of moral ambiguity or lower. Also the premise is a little unbelievable. If the cause of the big problem was really the cause, it would have been solved. In any event, given those two problems, it's pretty well plotted and it's fun to see the v This is an awfully strange book in that it fails to give the Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil any reason to care about virtually any of the characters,e except they look like familiar characters.

I liked Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil a lot, although I was lost the first few Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil thinking I had maybe missed a volume, but it was cleared up pretty fast. A team this big has a lot of characters and it's hard to really get to know them all, but I felt this volume did a good of at least showing the reader a little more about most of them. And the book ends with them definitely in a place that's not as morally dubious, although still in the grey. Jun 06, Alexandria rated it it was ok Shelves: graphic-novels. I think I would have liked this more if I had read up on the concept of the Dark Avengers before picking up this volume. As it stands, I was unimpressed with the concept: clones or relatives of Avengers seek to ruin their image by impersonating them and being evil. List of Masters of Evil members - Wikipedia

The Masters of Evil were a team of supervillains. There have been eight incarnations of the Masters of Evil, accumulating dozens of members in total. The Masters of Evil were primarily opposed to the Avengersalthough they also battled the Thunderbolts ironically consisting of former Masters of Evil and the Guardians of the Galaxy. When his accomplices were subdued by Captain America and the Avengers in the streets of New York, Zemo beat a hasty retreat. Their scheme to turn Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil the other Avengers failed, [2] as did their plan to use as a pawn to try and gain their trust [3] and another scheme in which they were assisted by Immortus [4]. Cap and Zemo dueled in South America. Blinded by the glare from his opponent's shieldZemo fired his death ray wildly and died in the ensuing rockslide. Meanwhile, the remaining members were defeated by the Avengers after Thor transported them to another dimension so their battle would not destroy the city of New York. Their raid was successful, and the Masters took the Avengers captive. However, the nephew of the Masters' first Dane Whitman had joined the villains in order to betray them to the Avengers, initiating the Avengers' rescue. Thus, the second Masters of Evil were defeated by the Avengers, but -5 escaped, to plague the Avengers subsequently without human accomplices. KlawDark Avengers: Masters of Evil MelterRadioactive Manand challenged Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil Avengers a second time, but were easily defeated. The third team was organized by the criminal scientist Eggheadenemy of and the Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil. Looking for accomplices to aid him in his criminal ventures, broke Tiger SharkWhirlwind, the Scorpionand Moonstone out of prison. However, before they could be of much use to him, Whirlwind sneaked away to get revenge upon the himself. The others followed to try to keep him out of trouble, but they all ended up in combat with the Avengers and lost. Egghead sought final vengeance on his long-time enemy Hank Pym, and sent the Masters of Evil to free him from the courtroom where he was being tried for certain crimes Egghead had framed him for. Egghead hoped to make it look as if Pym were a member of his criminal group in order to coerce Pym into working with him Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil a longevity serum. Pym pretended to go along with him but instead invented a device enabling him to defeat Egghead and virtually all the other Masters single-handedly. Egghead was killed when an arrow shot by Hawkeye caused a gun he was aiming at Pym to misfire. The fourth, and arguably most effective, team was organized by Baron Helmut Zemothe son of the previous Zemo. Inheriting his father's hatred of Captain America, the new Zemo sought to assemble the most formidable Masters of Evil ever. Rather than follow past practice with a team roughly the size of the active Avengers roster, Zemo decided to organize a veritable army of superhuman criminals, to assure victory over the Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil. Zemo's long-range design for the Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil assemblage of costumed criminals is not at present known, though he stated his intent to defeat the West Coast Avengers Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil the as well. This reformed version of the team took over Avengers Mansioncausing considerable damage in the process. Zemo, a master strategist, was able to play on the Avengers' relationships to pick them off one by one. Zemo sent several of his minions on scouting missions, performing various tasks in preparation for the assault on the mansion. Meanwhile Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil maintained his command by preventing subversion from Moonstone and giving his more physical recruits their promised action without striking too soon. Sub-Mariner had taken a leave of absence to reclaim Atlantisleaving the team one Avenger short. Black Knight and Captain America were captured, as well as Jarvis; Captain Marvel was trapped in another dimension by ; and was beaten into a coma. This left the Wasp, Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil at the time, as the only remaining active Avenger to retake the mansion. Meanwhile tortures Jarvis, leaving significant lasting injuries to the faithful butler. It took a hastily-assembled squad of Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil Avengers to defeat this formidable version of the Masters. The fifth team was organized by Doctor Octopusand bore little resemblance to any other incarnation of the team. The sixth incarnation Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil again assembled by Baron , consisting of several of his former recruits along with previous Master, the . They were better known under the they adopted, the Thunderbolts. The seventh incarnation was gathered by the mysterious .

First working for Hydrathey tried to garner the Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil of the New York crime families. This incensed and the rest of the Thunderbolts, seeing the Masters' legacy turned into mere mercenary work. When the Thunderbolts faced the Masters of Evil in battle she and her team escaped due to the blinding flash that accompanied the Crimson Cowl's teleportation effect. When next they fought Crimson Cowl escaped again. The Thunderbolts eventually turned on Zemo and Techno, who found themselves fugitives hated by heroes and villains alike. She sent to bait the Thunderbolts into walking into an ambush. After defeating the T-Bolts, she made her proposal "Join her and enjoy all the amenities that come with being in her organization or defy her and she would tell all of the Thunderbolts enemies how to find them. The Thunderbolts were given time to think over the situation but in the end decided they would rather take down the Crimson Cowl instead. When next they fought, it looked like the Crimson Cowl had won until Hawkeyedisguised as a new Dreadknightsaved the team. Hawkeye offered to become the Thunderbolts' new . One of his first actions as leader was to promise the media the capture of the Masters of Evil. The Masters began a plan to use a weather machine to blackmail world leaders for a billion dollars. Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil Cowl's numbers had grown from 6 members to Realizing they were outnumbered, Hawkeye decided to use Moonstone and her reputation as a traitor to infiltrate the Masters. Moonstone was tempted to side with the Masters for real but eventually decided against it and took the Cowl down instead. Moonstone unmasked the Crimson Cowl and the Thunderbolts were shocked to find the Cowl was Dallas Riordantheir former liaison Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil the office of the New York city mayor. In reality, Dallas Riordan was actually the new Citizen V. She had been knocked unconscious when she began to interfere with the Cowl's plans for the weather machine. At the last moment Justine had teleported out of her costume and placed Dallas into it. Dallas didn't tell the Thunderbolts the truth because she was still bitter about being fired as the mayor's liaison because of the Thunderbolts deception as heroes. Eventually Dallas was rescued from jail by her team the V-Battalion. The eighth incarnation, like the seventh, was recruited by Justine Hammer. Hawkeye, and Blackheath defeated most of them, and convinced several of them Gypsy MothCardinalMan-Killerand Cyclone that the Crimson Cowl would kill them with a bio- that Justine's father had surreptitiously placed in the majority of super villains he had employed over the years. Hawkeye inducted these Masters into the Thunderbolts. The Crimson Cowl was eventually defeated by , who used her powers to deconstruct Justine's costume. Fury and the Shadow Council organized a new incarnation of the Masters of Evil, which was discovered by the Secret Avengers during a mission run by Hawkeye and Captain America Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil Bagaliaan island nation run by criminals.

Following the events of Murderworld, had an audience with Zemo, demanding a position of power in the Masters. Zemo refused, claiming that his crimes were simply child abuse and didn't deserve to join them. However, he recognized that the technology and design of Murderworld was impressive and claimed the person who built it would be an asset and deserves a place with them. He revealed that Arcade's assistant Miss Corianderwho built Murderworld, had already joined them. Hellstrom created a meat puppet of Arcade to run his Casino in Bagalia with Coriander in order to make everyone believe he still ran Murderworld while the real Arcade was kept prisoner by them. He eventually tracks the fake Arcade to Bagalia, where he forms an alliance with the Masters. However, Hellstorm started influencing and controlling him. After a small fight, Cullen reveals his membership with the Masters of Evil. Constrictor and Masque arrange for Cullen to teleport the group to a nearby swanky party at Massacre Casino hosted by Arcade so that they can get revenge. After the framed teenagers are visited by friends and family, Hellstrom teleports the group back to Bagalia, where Zemo offers the group a chance to truly join the Masters of Evil. Following the Avengers' attack on Bagalia, the Masters of Evil got away on a hijacked with Arcade strapped to the front of it.
