Picking up sort of where the previous book left off only with the Thunderbolts 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 What If story and not much more than that. Feb 01, Anchorpete rated it really liked it. The most confusing thing to happen to me, while I was using my Marvel Unlimited account was losing track of the Thunderbolts issues, because they had retroactively renamed all of the Thunderbolts books, by Jeff Parker, Dark Avengers. This is a different team from the one led by Luke Cage, and yet the roots of this team were set up in the Luke Cage books.

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. In fact I was surprised by how much I liked this, and yet, For example the humor, though it w The frustration that I felt while reading this, was similar to what I feel when I read a Philip K. And the art was very strong, it was on the verge of being great, Apr 08, MB Taylor rated it it was ok. The story and art were both OK; it was an interesting variation on the normal Dark Avengers: Masters of Evil alternate reality story. First, I bought this collection for the Doctor Strange appearances and I was disappointed that he wasn't on stage more.

Second, the Dark Avengers story line wasn't one I followed, and although I knew who some of the characters were, I didn't know most of them which left me confused about their abilities. Without those distractions I probably would have enjoyed the story a lot more. Mar 22, B rated it liked it Shelves: borrowedwestend. 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.
