All-New, All-Different Avengers: The Magnificent Seven Review

Finished reading All-New, All-Different Avengers: The Magnificent Seven, after the event of Secret Wars no main team of Avengers has been active with only spin off teams being active since and with the appearance of a deadly foe an another lying wait in the background, the world is in need for a new Avengers team. The book opens up with Sam Wilson, Captain America saving a family from their car which has been push of a bridge where he meets with Tony Stark who is currently stuck in traffic. When the past the former Avengers tower, which is now under new management, as the Chitauri, Warbringer crashes in and is quickly confronted by Miles Morales Spider-Man which help from Iron Man and Captain America who end up getting defeated as Warbringer begins to find items that will bring forth an army. The heroes give chase to Warbringer and are joined by the current Thor, Nova, Ms Marvel and Vision along the way as the form the newest incarnation of the Avengers. The next part of the book sees the Avengers setting up base in an old Stark Industries airfield when new of the super villain Cyclone is causing havoc in Atlantic City. While numerous other villains such as Radioactive Man and Equinox show up which cases the Avengers to assemble both times. Additionally there are two smaller stories featured with in the book one that focuses on the first encounter between Nova and Ms Marvel, while the other deals with Vision coming to the conclusion that to be able to deal with the multiple memories he's seeing at once, he decides to turn off his emotions which leads to an extremely emotional conversation with Scarlet Witch. Overall this was a great book as it it scales back the main team to a smaller roster that hasn't been seen in a while, which allows for writer Mark Waid to give each character their own time to shine and have some great interactions between one another. The contrast between the newly recruited Avengers and classic members works like a mentor and protégé relationship with the younger heroes gaining more experience during their time within the team that brings about some interesting situations between within the team. While the multiple interactions between each character is great as the teen drama from the younger characters helps to build their relationships between one another and the way it contrasts to the their interactions with the older heroes helps to give them some great character growth. The artwork throughout the book is great as the first half of the main story drawn by Adam Kubert brings to life the great acton between Warbringer and the Avengers as they find their rhythm as a team while Warbringer's destructive entrance and path he leads is displayed extremely well. Additionally the rest of the book's art by Mahmud Asrar does great in showing the more quieter character moments with also delivering on the explosive action. 8/10.
