What do you do in the wake of an event like Infinity? Evil doppelgangers! Sigh… yes that overused superhero trope of baddie versions of the goodies gets trotted out in Avengers, Volume 5: Adapt or Die (of boredom).
I feel like this book came out around the same time as DC was doing their Trinity War garbage – it definitely reminded me of that tediously unimaginative event with the evil Justice League taking on the regular Justice League. So AIM (the beekeeper scientists) play with a Stargate and get evil Avengers who go to punch the regular Avengers. Schnorrrre……
The idea of planets smooshing into one another is mentioned again – as if that’s news to anyone reading at this point - this time with an Iron Man from the future travelling back in time to do something about the latest planet-smooshing. Maybe that will have consequences in later books but it’s still yawners. Some OMAC-looking things are flying around talking drivel.
Just awful across the board! For a writer often touted for his ideas, Jonathan Hickman’s fifth Avengers book is distinctly lacking in anything remotely original or engaging!
