Avengers
Vol 3: War Of The Vampires by Jason Aaron
continues the story of the Avengers as they have to deal with various vampire
factions that are having a civil war. The Avengers are not used to fighting
vampires, but they have help from the best vampire in the vast Marvel Universe,
Blade. Alongside the Avengers, Blade fights to keep the vampire war from
spreading while dealing with the Winter Guard (Russia’s Avengers that work for
a corrupt Russian Administration). For some reason, the Russians think it is a
good idea to try to make a deal with Dracula instead of just killing him.
This
story features all the Avengers and focuses on Ghost Rider and how much he does
not know regarding his status. The Ghost Rider has to face the question of
whether or not he is a monster. If he is a monster, how is he doing to deal
with it? Will he make the same choice as Blade – be a monster that hunts
monsters or try to find a way out?
I
enjoyed having Blade in this Avengers team since he is not a character that is
featured often, despite the fact that he is one of the cooler supernatural
characters. Also fun and present in this issue is Captain America who has experience
fighting vampires as he did so in Europe during World War Two. Iron Man also is
present and is dealing with more family secrets regarding his adoptive father.
The
action filled issue has plenty of other characters such as Dracula, various
vampires, and an Evil Demon Dog. Also present is Thori which is a pet dog
belonging to Thor. He is a talking, kill happy dog that wishes to be the “best
murdering dog” he can be. He is fun.
The
action is good and this volume connects very well to the other volumes in this
series. The characterization of the characters is better in this book than the
earlier ones in the series. I enjoyed Avengers Vol 3: War Of The Vampires
by Jason Aaron and I recommend it.
