Scott's Take: New Avengers Vol 1: Killuminati by Sam Humphries and Ton Lima (Illustrator), Tiago Palma (Illustrator), and Stephen Segovia (Cover Art)

 

New Avengers Vol 1: Killuminati by Sam Humphries and Ton Lima (Illustrator), Tiago Palma (Illustrator), and Stephen Segovia (Cover Art) more collects the first five issues of the series. Somone has cloned the Illuminati ( a group of heroes that tried to police the world). So, there are evil versions of Iron Man, Professor X, Namor, Reed Richards, Dr. Strange and others running around causing havoc. They need to be killed so Bucky Barnes and the Black Widow have assembled a team of killers to take them out. Carnage (Eddie), the Hulk (who is in this volume a little bit), Wolverine (Laura) and others.

 

This is a big budget action movie style read with a conspiracy and humor thrown in. The characterization for a lot of the characters is somewhat off for comedic effect. This book is just about having a fun time with a big idea. If you want to see what evil versions of some heroes could be as they terrorize the Marvel Universe than this is a book for you.  There will be a volume 2 to end the series, but the title and the release date have not been announced yet.
