Synopsis

I Am an Avenger #1 synopsis by Peter Silvestro
Rating: 4 stars

The Young Avengers (Wiccan, Hulkling, Stature, Speed, Hawkeye (Kate Bishop), Vision (Jonas)), have been invited to Avengers Mansion to meet with their heroes and they are more than a little nervous. They enter the Mansion grounds and the defenses start attacking them. They try several methods to get past them but none works until Wiccan merely concentrates on being an Avenger and they shut down. Hawkeye (Clint Barton) greets them, telling them it was a test to see if they are ready to join the team. At this, he lets them into the Mansion and Speed starts acting all fanboy over meeting the Avengers….

Review / Commentaries


I Am an Avenger #1 Review by (November 17, 2021)

Review: First volume of Marvel’s Avengers anthology title is a mixed bag. The lead tale is fairly amusing with the Young Avengers trying to get used to being Avengers. The second tale is rather introspective, centering on Danny and Misty’s romantic relationship, being more of a mood piece than a story. Not sure what the point of the Squirrel Girl tale is and the last is just an amusing little trifle. More to come.

Comments: First story: cameos by Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Mockingbird, Wolverine, Thing, Iron Fist, Ant-Man (Scott Lang), Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew), Dr. Strange, and Danielle Cage. Second story: Misty’s Trouble is My Business by Raymond Chandler is a real book, Danny’s Jack Flynn appears to be a fictitious title.
