Mighty Avengers: No Single Hero Review
Finished reading Mighty Avengers: No Single Hero, this brings together some of Marvel's street level heroes as they form the Mighty Avengers in response of a new threat attacking New York. The book opens up with Thanos planning his invasion of Earth during the events of Infinity while the Avengers are on the other side of the galaxy. Meanwhile on Earth the Heroes for Hire lead by Luke Cage are stopping a robbery at the docks only for the Superior Spider-Man to intervene as the crates contain parts for his Spiderbots. Back in Manhattan the Heroes of Hire disband over what Spider-Man said about the team while on the other side of the city, Monica Rambeau meets with an old friend as Thanos' forces invade the city causing all of the heroes to jump into action to fight the invading fleet. The final story has the team now called the Mighty Avengers setting up shop in the Gem Theatre when "Spider-Hero" comes in asking for help after getting news of supernatural goings on at the fallen Inhuman city Attilian. Once changed into the Hawkeye's old Ronin costume, "Spider-Hero" and the team head out as Luke Cage and his wife Jessica Jones head to their lawyer when Spider-Man shows up demanding the team to be under his leadership. Overall this was a great book as the character interactions are brilliant with the first meeting between Spider-Man and "Spider-Hero" is extremely funny. While there's slight forth wall breaks within the character box are great because as the book goes on the boxes become less descriptive and slightly more comedic. What lets the book down is the fact that it relies on knowing what happens during the Infinity story arc as the book is a tie in to that story and deals with its aftermath. 8/10.
