The Avengers may have defeated the Builders and Thanos in Infinity but the Illuminati are still trying to save Earth from…Earths.
Jonathan Hickman’s secret plot within a plot starring this secret society of heroes takes a very dark twist in New Avengers #14 this week.
Black Bolt, Namor, Reed Richards, Iron Man, Beast and Black Panther have committed unheroic acts and made terrible sacrifices to save our world from “incursions” from rival Earths.
In this issue Doctor Strange takes front and center as the Sorcerer Supreme goes down and devilish. Artist Simone Bianchi is perfect for this dark, haunted issue as the Illuminati watches a parallel world’s destruction and Strange goes to a devilish new twist on a black market.
This chapter will make you beg Marvel to launch a Doctor Strange series by Hickman and Bianchi. Doctor Strange fans will love and shudder at this issue. Hickman’s grand ever-evolving puzzle of an Avengers run continues to mystify, twist and delight your brain. The Master of the Mystic Arts puts his own soul at stake to save us…but his deal with a devil may end up damning Earth’s supernatural champion.
