All New, All Different Avengers: Civil War II Review

Finished reading All New, All Different Avengers: Civil War II, writer Mark Waid concludes the series by tying into the wider events of Civil War II by showing how the Marvel event is effecting the members of the Avengers who don't have their own series being effected by the event. The book opens with the Vision going to meet with the Inhuman Ulysses for advice on how to deal with the time traveling villain Kang who has been causing Vision and the Avengers some trouble recently. The next story cowritten by Jeremy Whitley see both Wasps dealing with a group of people pretending to be Russian officials in hope to take Nadia to W.H.I.S.P.E.R. After dealing with the group Janet, Nadia and Jarvis find out that the superhero community have found themselves dealing with the event of Civil War II which leads to Nadia to try and find a solution to the dispute. The following story sees Thor going to meet with Heimdall for advice on the current situation that the superhero community have found themselves in which leads to Heimdall telling a story from one of the Avengers earliest adventures. The final story within the book sees Ms Marvel returning home when she notices some fan fiction about her, Nova and Miles Morales, Spider-Man which unsettles Kamala leading to her to contact the stie's admin about the story and while she waits Kamala takes a look at some other stories on the site. Overall this was a great book as writer Mark Ward is able to tell some great stories that focus more on character development and uses the events of Civil War II to help give the book a time frame for where it takes place which is the books only connection to the event which is one of its strongest aspects. The Ms Marvel story has a great premise thanks to the way it allows a wide range of creative teams to have some fun with multiple Marvel characters in different stories with some of Kamala's reactions being perfectly hilarious which some stories. The books art is great throughout as the multiple fan fiction stores have their own unique look and feel thanks to the creators on each story. Additionally artist Adam Kubert's work on the rest of the book is amazing as each story centring around Vision, Thor and the two Wasps brings the great character moments to life extremely well along with the flashback story of the more classic Avengers feels suited to the aesthetic of the classic Avengers while also not feeling out of place from the current series. 8.5/10.
