Hello there! Padawan J here, the resident Star Wars expert from the ODPH! This week I'm going to be reviewing the FIRST issue of Avengers: Armageddon from Marvel Comics!

The fate of the 616 is in peril due to the crystalline plague.

One person is desperately needed for the save, but he has had other matters to attend to.

Tony Stark and Norman Osborn. Dare we say two sides of the same coin?

Both are not exactly angels. Brilliant thinkers whose gifts have taken them into places beyond their wildest dreams. In the publics’ eye, a major difference.

Robert Reynolds has faced many challenges but none as personal as this.

Normie, his longtime canine companion is dying. Reynolds is helpless to save him.

Welcome to the world of Advanced Iron Man!

Madame Masque and A.I.M. have gone to great lengths to find the next Tony Stark. This has meant kidnapping top entrants in Stark’s awards for the brightest minds. Adam Ware was the winner of the competition. His prize was being tortured and forced to find a way to be the heir apparent.

Robert Reynolds’ return has not be good.

His longtime canine companion is dying of Cancer. He’s struggling with depression. The Void is lurking around Wilson Fisk. On top of this, The CRYSTALLINE PLAGUE is spreading like wildfire. Its’ latest victim is a Green Goliath that forces the Sentry to act fast.

Tony Stark is taken out by….Tony Stark?

Madame Masque has kidnapped some of the world’s brightest minds to force them to become something more. This has drawn Iron Man to investigate and stop her. His path has led to into a trap, made by his own designs.

Tony Stark and M.O.D.O.K. team up?

That seems to be the case as A.I.M. is attacking the unique killing entity. This is just one of Madame Masque’s moves leading the evil organization. She’s also kidnapped some of the brightest minds in the world in an attempt to recreate Tony Stark. The man inside the armor is the most dangerous weapon in the world. Masque wants it and will stop at nothing to get it.

Robert Reynolds is back….

The “Golden Guardian of Good” is Marvel’s most powerful and polarizing superhero. Debuting in 2000’s “Sentry” series by Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee, Reynolds was a “lost” hero who’s powers were immeasurable. He also had an alter ego known as The Void. Being the dark version of the hero, their conflict put the universe in danger. To defeat him, Reynolds teamed up with Dr. Strange and Mr. Fantastic to wipe his memories and legacy from existence.

It’s the end of an era of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

After defeating Kang the Conqueror, Captain Marvel has much on her mind. The leader of The Avengers has doubts after their latest encounter. It leaves a question she can’t shake: “What’s Next?”

Tony Stark is the world’s most dangerous weapon.

That philosophy is fueling Madame Masque. The new face of A.I.M. has been searching for the next Tony Stark. She’s targeted and tested possible candidates nominated for his award of achievement. No one is safe. Not even Tony from himself!

Tony Stark.

Trying to define the man behind the armor is difficult. Exceptional Genuis. Unapologetic Hero. The list goes on and on.

Who would have thought all those years ago when he built a make shift armor that he would evolve to the Avenger he is today. It begs the question of who is the real walking weapon” Iron Man or Tony Stark? A new creative team looks to explore that and knowing their track record, it’s time for some action!
