Two Elders of the Universe - the Grandmaster and the Challenger - decide to play a game against one another. Their board: Earth. Their pieces: Marvel characters. So, basically Contest of Champions.
Avengers: No Surrender is the crappiest Marvel book I’ve read in some time. It’s 16 (count it!) issues of the most inane, unimaginative drivel ever. Characters arbitrarily thumping one another, with zero consequences and zero stakes, for an obnoxiously overlong 16 issues. It doesn’t even develop over all that time, it’s just the same rubbish over and over until the end. God. Awful!
A new character is introduced, Voyager, whom everyone pretends is an old dear friend but, unsurprisingly to anyone reading, turns out to be not quite who she claims. The other, even more boringer subplot is Jarvis in the hospital - and he might not make it! I’m on the edge of my… zzz…
The hack writing continues when a certain character who “died” in Civil War II is resurrected (wow who saw that coming oh right everyone) and for no reason other than to give this book something of note happening.
If you like Contest of Champions/comics where characters mindlessly hit each other and nothing else happens, you’re gonna jizz yourself into oblivion with this one. I hate that kinda garbage, I think it’s the worst aspect of superhero comics, so I thought Avengers: No Surrender was No Damn Good. The quality of Marvel’s output remains firmly in the shitter.
