This one\u2019s Avengers #57, the first appearance of the Vision. Sort of. There was a 40s character also called the Vision with a similar look. This month, it\u2019s Khoi Pham, Danny Miki and Dean White on art chores. Koi Pham is a guy much like Billy Tan, both coming up around the same time, neither really ready for primetime, both getting pretty plum assignments, anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typical Sentry\/Void stuff, now with weird faces. That thing was a Skrull spaceship, seemingly about to kamikaze into the Baxter Building. Which really doesn\u2019t seem like it would elicit the reactions from Sentry and Void, there. Why is Sentry crying? I don\u2019t know. He grabs the ship right before it can hit the building and hauls it back out into space, but it blows up before he can do anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pham is better than Tan, but still rough around the edges. Then we zip up the timeline to the day the New Avengers were to be revealed to the world, in NA 15<\/a>, where Jarvis takes Iron Man aside and says he\u2019d like to learn as much as he can about the Sentry. That he feels he should have seen what happened to Wanda, and doesn\u2019t want to fail Sentry in the same way. Iron Man tells him it wasn\u2019t his fault and he\u2019s cool and etc, and that he never has to ask permission to read the Avengers\u2019 files. And then Skrull Jarvis starts learning all he can about the enemy who stopped that suicide run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jarvis, Jessica Drew, Hank Pym, the Contessa, Elektra and various SHIELD and Hydra agents, all your revealed Skrulls so far hanging out. Civil War and World War Hulk, ideas that didn\u2019t exist when Bendis started planning this, fitting so nicely into it is pretty great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than answering that question, we hop to the big fight in the Savage Land, and replay the Vision Skrull executing Jarvis Skrull\u2019s plan, sending Sentry fleeing in a panic, and now we follow him off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Boy, those are some faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, then. Sentry sucks. He\u2019s so powerful that every major story involves figuring out how to keep him out of it. Which woulda been pretty easy if they\u2019d just left him vaguely out of continuity. Now we move our scene to the Young Avengers fighting Skrulls in Times Square for a sec before focusing in on Sentry\u2019s Watchtower, where something comes crashing into Lindy\u2019s room. It\u2019s a Super Skrull, and it\u2019s apparently looking for Sentry. It\u2019s about to settle for Lindy when\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spectre of Todd McFarlane looms long after he\u2019s gone. Look at those weird faces and tell me Pham didn\u2019t grow up on Todd. Ok, next post it\u2019s back to the main series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
