Review of
Marvel
Avengers Assemble: Civil War, based on the TV series
ISBN 9781302901646
Four out of five stars
While the superheroes are split in what is called the Civil
War, the forces of evil see the opportunity to exploit the situation. In this
case it is Ultron, sequentially transferring the artificial intelligence (AI)
from structure to structure and doing battle with the Avengers. Ultron has
developed a network, so all data acquired by one unit is passed to the others,
allowing all Ultron units to act as a team.
What weakens
the story is the plot device where Tony Stark as Iron Man is depicted as
incompetent and a poor leader, driving the other Avengers away from him as they
question his leadership and even his operational intelligence. At the end, the
Avengers (Re)Assemble and are a team once again with the villain vanquished, at
least for the moment.
