New Avengers: A.I.M: Everything is New Review

Finished reading New Avengers: A.I.M: Everything is New, with the threat of Secret Wars long over former New Mutant and main Avengers team member, Roberto Da Costa still owns the criminal organisation of A.I.M and has rebranded it as a more heroic organisation with its own Avengers team. The book opens up with the villainous version of Reed Richards from the Ultimate universe known as the Maker, is using a kidnapped S.H.I.E.L.D agent to see what the future holds with Roberto and his Avengers team. The first mission for the Avengers sees the team racing to Paris as the Maker has unleashed a monstrous creature onto the city that is turning people into diamond headed slaves. The next part of the book sees a group of Kree and Skrull hybrids who head to Earth in hope to make Hulkling their new king and also be the one to unite the Kree and Skrull species since Hulkling is half Kree and half Skrull. Once the team are in space Hulkling and Wiccan come face to face with an ancient space wizard known as Mor-I-Dun who has taken the place of the leader of the group of aliens, and with his defeat Mor-I-Dun takes procession of Wiccan which leads to the next part of the book were the Avengers of the year 20XX travel back in time to stop Mor-I-Dun causing havoc in the future. Overall this was a great book as writer Al Ewing forms a new team of Avengers at the home of former criminal organisation A.I.M that leads to some great character moments and situations that the team finds themselves in. The threat of Maker and Mor-I-Dun make for great villains for this team of Avengers as not only does the villains get their own time to shine but it also allows for the team to show of some great technology and vehicles that A.I.M has developed. There is a great amount of comedy with the book from each character's interactions and reactions to the many events that transpire. The art by Gerardo Sandoval does a great job within the action scenes as well as the more quitter moments with the team on Avengers Island thanks to how the book is structured with the layout of the panels on each page. 8/10.
