Luke Cage is back in business in Mighty Avengers #1. The hero turned family man quit the Avengers to focus on being a good father and husband. Luke is training Avengers Academy graduates in a new Heroes for Hire. It’s great to see Cage mentoring the new Power Man and White Tiger as they take on smugglers. While on a job the Heroes for Hire encounter the Superior Spider-Man. Meanwhile, Monica Rambeau (formerly known as Captain Marvel and Photon) is stopping crime in style and may be the only person who knows the identity of the new Ronin.

 

Writer Al Ewing spins each story thread of the New York City heroes coming together while exploring the sinister dynamic between Thanos and his Black Order. We get insight into the competition between the Mad God’s evil enforcers as Proxima Midnight makes Thanos an offer he can’t refuse.

Tom Hiddleston will play the Trickster God one last time (?) in Thor: The Dark World. The Avengers sequel will star Ultron as the big bad. No word yet on a third Thor film so The Dark World will likely be Loki’s swan song but not if the Loki Army has something to say about it… Continue reading LOKI Solo Movie Petition
