Wait, why are we
back to the old font? I guess people
didn’t like the new one…?

Avengerous Tales 1.36 - Avengers #68, Avengers Annual #3, Avengers #69
To read Avengerous Tales 1.35, go here!
We’ve got Sal
Buscema, longtime artist for Captain
America and The Incredible Hulk (and
John Buscema’s brother), on art today.
Dang, the Avengers are going through artists faster than Harry Potter
goes through Dark Arts professors.

Avengerous Tales 1.34 - Avengers #63-#64
To read Avengerous Tales 1.33, go here!
I don’t know why
Hank would continue being Yellowjacket when that’s the identity he took in a
weird fit of schizophrenic self-hatred, but those covers are awesome. Much better than the Random Floating Head
covers we’ve been getting lately.
***This review
contains a tiny discussion of emotional abuse, so if that bothers you, skip the
paragraph after I start swearing up a storm.

Avengerous Tales 1.33 - Avengers #61-#62
To read Avengerous Tales 1.32, go here!
A quick pit stop
at Dr. Strange #178 before we begin
today’s tale:
With his dying
breath, the villain Asmodeus utters a spell that will cause the fire giant
Surtur and the frost/ice giant Ymir (whom you may recognize from both Norse mythology
and Thor comics) to come wreak havoc
on Earth in one hour. The only people
who know how to break that spell are the Sons of Satannish, who are being held
prisoner in the sixth dimension by a jerk named Tiboro. Strange doesn’t really want to go there alone,
so he tracks down our old pal the Black Knight—whose sword contains mystical
properties—and enlists him as a road trip buddy.
And everything
seems to go great. Dr. Strange and the
Black Knight defeat Tiboro, who agrees to release the Sons of Satannish. Problem solved, right? Well…

Avengerous Tales 1.32 - Avengers #59-#60
Hey kids,
remember when this comic thought it was competent enough to have a discussion
about racism? Remember how well that went? Well today they’re going to try to
tackle mental illness! Won’t that be
fun?!!
***This review
contains depictions and extensive discussions of emotional and physical
abuse, a couple of brief scenes that could be interpreted as attempted sexual assault, and gross misrepresentation of schizophrenia. If you’d prefer to avoid that, feel
free to enjoy some adorable fanart while slamming canon’s fingers in the door.
Actually, you’ll probably want to do that anyway.
