Preface:
- We’ve been covering this story in three parts, this is part two
- If you’re new, we recommend starting with the prior episode
- Empyre is coming up and all of that drama starts with the Kree-Skrull War
Avengers 95: “Something Inhuman This Way Comes”
- Best opening splash page in a long time, Triton looks EXCELLENT
- Unfortunately, he gets chased by a mob
- Triton arrives at Avengers Mansion as they are fighting the Mandroids
- Vision has conflicting emotions
- Flashback of Blackagar and Maximus parents being accidentally killed because MAXIMUS IS EVIL and this, somehow, is how we ended up with Mad Max
- Vision’s group rejoins the rest of the Avengers to rescue Black Bolt
- Black Bolt regains the crown
- Rick Jones is abducted by the Kree
Avengers 96: “The Andromeda Swarm”
- The Avengers, fully reunited, land at a S.H.I.E.L.D. Space Base where Nick Fury gives them a ship to intercept the Skrull Armada
- Tony tries to gossip about Vision and Wanda but nobody has time for that
- The Avengers use a trick where their ship visually looks like a whole armada but it ends up only showing as a single ship on radar, so a single Skrull ship investigates
- Iron Man thirst poses aggressively at the Skrull
- Thor, Vision, and Iron Man take on the lone ship
- Meanwhile, Captain Marvel has agreed to work on the Omni-Wave Projector for the King Dorrek VII in order to save Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch
- Mar is tricksy and instead made a holographic projector, and ambushes the guards. Dorrek panics and orders “Execute Plan Delta”
- Vision has a TNG: Data moment and nearly beats a guard to death, but Iron Man and Thor pull him off
- Leather Daddy Clint is the sole Avenger left in a fightercraft so he boards the ship, but runs out of ideas
- Ronan villain monologues to Rick Jones but Rick is teleported to the Supreme Intelligence
- Supreme Intelligence explains that it’s been behind everything the whole time…
- Supreme Intelligence then shunts Rick back to the Negative Zone
Avengers 97: “Godhood’s End!”
- Rick ponders life in the Negative Zone, visually excellent
- Annihilus attacks
- Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch buy Captain Marvel time to use the Omni-Wave
- Anelle tries to convince Dorrek to chill, but he’s never been chill about anything
- Mar destroys the Omni-Wave
- Rick escapes the Negative Zone through a portal, the Supreme Intelligence informs that it’s now time for Rick to glow up
- Ronan, Public Accuser tries to murder Rick and the Supreme Intelligence but Rick summons a ton of old Marvel heroes to fight for him
- Rick then deus ex machina’s all Kree and Skrull by freezing them all in place
- G.W. Craddock was a skrull all along and when that is revealed the crowd vents their rage, tearing him limb from limb
- Supreme Intelligence tells Rick that Rick isn’t important, any ol’ human would have done
- Captain Marvel thinks about Anelle. This brief moment is the entire basis for Empyre… one sentence… that’s it
- Supreme Intelligence teleports everyone home, real Craddock clears the Avengers of all charges and… that’s it
