The Avengers: The Serpent Crown by Steve Englehart, George Pérez

2.0

Meh. This was a fight to the finish for me. The story dragged on and didn't make a lot of sense. All the characters but Thor and Patsy are stagnant. Hawkeye proves he is the Gabriella Montez of the Marvel universe by breaking up with the Avengers. The highlights were Thor coming to terms with his godhood and playing cowboys in the wild west with Hawkeye, Hellcat being introduced, and (of course) Kang the Conqueror rocking purple thigh high boots (put this man on a runway!)! Wanda and Vision have just come back from their honeymoon and I wanted the book to explore their relationship but it's glazed over. There is one scene where Wanda is possessed by the serpent crown and it gave the vibes I wanted from Multiverse of Madness, but it's resolved fairly quickly and doesn't live up to its potential. I would have liked more of the Gods Go West story line than the Squadron Supreme story line. The time traveling quest to stop Kang was way more interesting and made more sense.
