Kang, Dr Doom, Thanos, Dr Octopus ... and Thane Ector?

Rob Johnson By Rob Johnson
March 24, 2025

The current Avengers successfully beat Kang in their outer space casino heist in AVENGERS #24, but return to Earth to discover that Dr Doom's taken over.

Meanwhile in T Vernon's AVENGERS #337 a much earlier team of Avengers are beginning to learn what Thane Ector and his Brethren actually are.

In KA-ZAR #8-9 the battle in the Manhattan jungle heats up and giant-size Thanos finally takes a direct hand in the action (at least on the cover of #9).

And AVENGERS ACADEMY #14 features Dr Octopus' Sinister Six of Spider-Man villains with no Spidey in sight. And Rhino just can't keep away from my column.
