I ended up really liking this. The idea of a future person coming back in time to right the wrongs they found in the universe speaks to me. That we are always attempting to improve and encourage growth. That that person would be found to be evil I have no doubt and that twist is what made this comic great for me.

Not really sure why is considered such a classic Avengers story. The titular Korvac is barely in it, and his motives are super unclear until they’re explained in an exposition dump by Moondragon. There are too many characters in this with not enough for anyone to really do. Two-Gun Kid is randomly sent back in time in a real Poochie kind of way. What was the point of Jocasta? Hercules? Black Panther? They’re just window dressing.
Bonus points for the Avengers needing to commandeer a city bus to get to Forest Hills, though. That’s an all-timer.

A now classic Avengers tale (1977-1978) that tells of an enemy who may not be evil and yet the Avengers must stop.

The dialogue is cringe-worthily chauvinistic when it comes to women, and treats every non-superhero as merely cardboard comedy relief, or caricatures. The one exception might be Moondragon. The only thing that kept me reading was "Michael's" humorous casual wear, shorts and all. Maybe he was showing off his quads once he got a new body? Who knows.

Read for the Unofficial 75 Greatest Marvels Countdown podcast. I'll give my full thoughts on there, but in the meantime, that was a heck of a story. Kinda cluttered in the middle, but with good first and third acts.

There are a couple of really good Avengers stories in here, that makes for a very enjoyable read.

My inner MARVEL nerd is screaming with joy. I loved this so so much and I can't believe I didn't invest myself in the comics earlier, because it turns out I'm not exclusively a movie fan after all. I loved all the cameos and crossovers that weren't incorporated in the movie franchise yet. I wish Nat had more lines in this one, but we Nat stans are sadly used to that by now (and impatiently waiting for the much deserved solo movie). The villain was quite well-crafted and enjoyable as well as the older characters I didn't have a chance to get to know before, like the original Guardians. Last but not least, the illustrations were absolutely amazing. All in all, I had a blast reading this and it definitely made my day.
