Savage Avengers, Vol. 1: City of Sickles
by Gerry Duggan
Savage Avengers ain't kidding about the savage part.
So a new asshole is in town and he's summoning creatures and being a evil dude. He goes after Voodoo first and Wolverine tries to stop his murder but it doesn't happen. This then brings together a band of unlikely heroes including Wolverine, Voodoo, Electra, and Conan the fucking Barbarian as well as Punisher and Venom. Together can this brutal team work together to stop a evil force from taking over the world? Well yeah. They're the Savage goddamn Avengers baby!
This is truly over the top and one of the most insane avengers titles I ever read. Wolverine is chopping ninja's arms and heads off left and right. Conan is putting a sword through an eye. Electra is stabbing people. I mean it's pure chaos yet it's all pretty fun. Conan is a highlight as a fish out of water type character with some lolz lines such as "The might Dwarf, will you fight along side me?" When talking to Logan. Great times.
On the flipside the plot is so paper thin you'd wonder if there is really one. Also, the inclusion of people like Punisher and Venom feel pretty forced.
Listen, it's not perfect, but it's damn entertaining. I couldn't help but smile reading most of this. A easy 3.5 out of 5.
