Collecting Avengers West Coast #51-57 and #60-62.Paperback: 232 pages
Publisher: MarvelIt's the return of Iron Man! And right when Scarlet Witch is about to break. Byrne's storyline here sets up future Marvel events, showing the quality of everything he does.Highlights here for me...
*Issues 51 & 52- Iron Man returns. And Master Pandemonium strikes! Features U.S. Agent, Wonder Man, Hank Pym, Wasp, Vision, Scarlet Witch, the original Human Torch & more. Throw in Immortus & Mephisto for an especially crazy time.
*Issue 53- Enter the U-Foes. And Magneto makes an appearance.
*Issue 54- Mole Man attacks Los Angeles! My favorite issue here, it features that big creature from FF #1. This is yet another issue where Byrne imitates the cover to that 1st Fantastic issue.
*Issue 55- Bi-Coastal Avengers vs. Loki. After this issue, the focus is mainly on Scarlet Witch, Magneto & Immortus.I love Byrne's artistic vision, the Avengers in general, and especially the Avengers west coast team in the '80s. Here we get all three! This isn't usually considered his best work, but it *is* among my favorites. The clarity & consistency in his artistic vision never ceases to amaze me. In this paperback he touches on story points he previously visited in titles like Avengers & Fantastic Four. He especially, continually references the Invaders all throughout his career, and I actually appreciate these brief flashbacks.Included in this volume:
*Issues #51 & #52- John Byrne writes & pencils; Mike Machlan inks
*Issue #53- John Byrne writes & pencils; Keith Williams inks
*Issues #54 to #57- John Byrne writes & pencils; Paul Ryan inks
*Issues #60 to #62- Roy & Dann Thomas write; Paul Ryan pencils; Danny Bulanadi inksIn Darker Than Scarlet the original Human Torch an 1940s android who was reborn in earlier issues joins the outfit. The main story however is that the Scarlet Witch’s children go missing, which is part of a larger plot of Immortus manipulating the heroes for his own ends to control time. That ends up transforming the Witch into a villain. Agatha Harkness, Pandemonium, Mephisto, Magneto, the Mole Man, the Master, Dr Doom, Loki, the Red Skull and others all make appearances.All items shipped in rigid cardboard!
