Avengers & Champions: Worlds Collide Review

Finished reading Avengers & Champions: Worlds Collide, writer Mark Waid brings together the Avengers and Champions as they find themselves having to work together to prevent the oncoming threat of Counter Earth. The book opens with Falcon, Vision and his daughter Viv helping civilians escape from a burning building in New Jersey as Viv and her father have a disagreement before parting ways. Meanwhile the other Championships and Avengers members are watching the news of a satellite getting into position from the other side of the sun when it notices an asteroid heading straight for Earth which leads to both teams heading to the crash site to stop the asteroid before it lands. After stop the asteroid after a bit of confrontation between the two teams with how the Avengers as taking the lead the Earth begins to shake causing some to the worlds tallest buildings to become unstable as the asteroid opens to reveal a large Minotaur like creature that has been sent to Earth by the High Evolutionary. Overall this was a good book as it brings the Avengers and Champions together that leads to some great parings from the two teams within the book along the use of the High Evolutionary makes for a villain that raises the stakes of the story thanks to his villainous plan. The story between Viv and Vision is great as it helps to put more of an emotional stake to the story with how to have the most development for the a characters and their relationship which becomes more complicated in some parts when the High Evolutionary is introduced within the book. The art throughout the book is great as each of the art teams are able to bring the action set pieces to life extremely well that takes the different character and creature designs and put them to great effect within the book's story while also having a nice amount of focus on the character emotions as well. 7/10.
