Hey there - my name's Dave and this is my comic book blog. It's my way of sharing my borderline obsessive addiction to the comic book medium, and I hope you like some of what's going on here. Most people that come here are looking for my WIP Marvel reading order guide. One day while walking on the park, Jim encountered the eerie girl, who was taken away by an adult after seemingly bringing a bird back to life. Thirty-six days into Pleasant Hill, Jim attended to a house fire. The arsonist confronted Jim inside the house, revealed to him that his life in Pleasant Hill had been a lie, and requested a meet up in case Jim wanted to uncover the truth. On day forty, Jim met up with the mysterious man, a mechanic named Phil who had subconsciously created a device that allowed people to return to their normal selves. Director Maria Hill gave a tour around Pleasant Hill, describing it as the future of super villain incarceration, where its prisoners were turned into mild mannered individuals using reality-warping technology derived from the Cosmic Cube called "Kobik. After using Phil's device on themselves, the true forms of Jim and Phil were revealed, those of Baron Zemo and the Fixer , now swearing to use the device to free more prisoners and turn Pleasant Hill into dust. On board S. Helicarrier Iliad , Commander Steve Rogers followed the trail of the Winter Soldier, after he had assaulted the flying headquarters of the organization, as part of several other attacks. He was left a message in the form of a napkin of a diner they used to frequent. Both had a lead, of a town in Connecticut. Bucky left Steve as he was being picked up by S. Maria Hill presented the town to Steve, and revealed its secret, that most of its inhabitants were reformed super villains. When Rogers demanded to know where the fragments of Cosmic Cubes used for Kobik were, she directed him to the eerie little girl, who was the fragments of the Cosmic Cube having taken the form of a near-omnipotent child. In secret, several of Pleasant Hill's inhabitants had already had their memories returned by the Fixer, including Moonstone and the Trapster. The villains, led by Zemo, soon unleashed a co-ordinated assault, revealing their true forms and attacking the S. Together they rescued Agent Kincaid from the Blood Brothers , unaware that she wanted to be taken hostage so she could infiltrate the town hall, which had been turned by Zemo into a lock-up to hold numerous staff members and citizens hostage. The two heroes offered to help her in a plan to retrieve a powerful item from the Pleasant Hill Museum to use against the villains, disabling the security from a remote station so she could access it. Unbeknown to anybody at all, Father Patrick was actually the Red Skull in disguise, and the person responsible for having ignited the situation at Pleasant Hill. With the objective of finding Kobik in mind, Rogers was given by Selvig the suggestion of looking for Kobik in her favorite location, the bowling alley. Unfortunately, after getting hold of the small girl, Steve was brutally attacked by Crossbones. On the brink of Steve's death, Kobik used her power to restore him to his prime, granting him the power necessary to gain the upper hand against Crossbones. With Kobik having disappeared after restoring Steve, the three heroes set out to find her again, but they were not alone in the search for her. Baron Zemo had the Fixer create a device capable of containing Kobik and stripping her of her sentience, planning to defeat the Avengers with its power. Under the orders of Zemo, Kraven the Hunter led a group of villains to find her. With the search for Kobik bearing no results, Steve decided to change the plan and take the fight directly to Zemo before he could find her, rallying all of the heroes in the town. Meanwhile, Kraven the Hunter managed to successfully lure Kobik into a device created by the Fixer to contain her. While they were bringing her to the town hall, Agent Kincaid had managed to get to the museum, where its curator revealed himself to be the retired hero Wendell Vaughn , a. Quasar , and gave her the items of power she was looking for, his former Quantum Bands. Back in the town hall, Zemo was about negotiate with the Avengers the safety of the hostages when Quicksilver , Vision and Doctor Voodoo sneakily rescued them. With the civilians and S. His army of villains held the line to buy the Fixer's device enough time to turn Kobik into a proper Cosmic Cube. Using Graviton 's powers, Zemo created a virtually impenetrable shield, and the heroes began to run out of time to stop Fixer's device. Agent Kincaid stepped in, empowered by the Quantum Bands, and used their power to destroy the shield, disrupting Fixer's device in the process, and freeing Kobik. Both Baron Zemo and Erik Selvig tried to convince Kobik to join their respective sides, but the small child showed her dissatisfaction with the events transpiring in the town due to Zemo's actions, and her disillusion with her experience among humans due to the way S. She blasted away the Winter Soldier , who had tried to put her down for considering her too dangerous, and teleported both Baron Zemo and Erik Selvig away to the Himalayas before disappearing herself. With their leader gone, the villains tried to escape from the town. With the airborne support blocking the villains, the Avengers proceeded to finish them off. After the dust settled, Maria Hill was scolded by her superiors in the World Security Council , with her position as director of S. They followed him to the Morlock Tunnels and apprehended him. During an interrogation aboard S. Battlecarrier Pericles , A. The New Avengers confronted the agents of S. In retaliation for A. American Kaiju began to attack the island, forcing Sunspot to deploy their biggest weapon, the Avenger Five. In the middle of the evacuation, Songbird revealed herself to be a deep-undercover S. D agent, and attacked her fellow New Avenger Hawkeye who had also recently abandoned S. Hawkeye was scolded by his superior, Dum-Dum Dugan , for having helped A. In New York City, the recently reassembled Avengers had just defeated an escapee from Pleasant Hill when none other than Maria Hill appeared on the scene on behalf of S. However, they received an emergency call from Captain America and were informed about Pleasant Hill. With the Avengers aware of the situation, Maria Hill reluctantly agreed to fly with them to Connecticut. The Avengers' Maria Hill opened fire on them, leading to a brief scuffle between the two teams before they were trapped by Kobik and turned into inhabitants of the small town.

Set against those for tearing it down. But no. It's all set in one mode. Destroy it. And that's rather dull. Aug 21, Gerry Sacco rated it really liked it. Really, really fun. Some super good highs, a few lows though. I wanted to give this a 5, I really did, because Falcon really shined. Lots of good, fun moments. Interesting plot. Just a bit too scattered. Good collection though, must own. Also, good questions asked. Marvel has this great way of asking bigger questions and hiding them within their stories. Just because you can, should you? Jul 17, LauraJade rated it liked it. Not a bad event, fixes some fractured relationships that really needed fixing, but proved there are far too many 'Avengers' teams - to the point one character jokes about 'Adjective-less Avengers'. But the balance of humour and action was great, the core characters were great, issues of certain titles slowed it down a bit.
