Marvel's Avengers Are Finally Fixing Their Biggest Problem
Warning: contains spoilers for Avengers #58
The Avengers are finally trying to fix the biggest problem that has plagued their most recent storylines. The appeal of the team was never just about being an assembly of Earth's greatest heroes, but actually about the interactions between these often very different characters. Thankfully, this secret ingredient of the Avengers' best stories, which has been sidelined for some time, is finally becoming prominent again.
The Avengers always stood out among Marvel's many teams because of the friction and camaraderie that defines the group. What characterized the Avengers — especially from Kurt Busiek and George Pérez's re-launch in 1998 - was that a lot of focus was put on the inner dynamics of the group and the interactions between characters, many of which led to the most memorable storylines. The latest Avengers series, which began in 2018 under the creative direction of Jason Aaron and Ed McGuinness, has taken a very different approach. The team came together to face a rogue host of Celestials, and from there the series brought the classic Avengers concept of fighting "the foes no single superhero could withstand" to its extreme, climaxing in a Multiverse-wide conspiracy led by Mephisto. What's been lost in this high-octane action, however, is the Avengers themselves. While there have been a few bonding moments here and there, the drama comes squarely from each new crisis, not from the heroes experiencing them.
