A-Force (2015) #2 by G. Willow Wilson5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() This cautionary tale is expertly re-explained (different crime) but eats up a bulk of pages all the same. For anyone familiar with the core series, it is evident that if one breaks any of Doom’s laws, one goes to the Wall-like Shield to defend Battleworld from the zombies, killer robots and giant space bugs beyond. The story is solid enough but much of its detriment owes to paralleling many beats from last week’s Secret Wars #2. Of course, it is in the name of God Emperor Doctor Doom, so take that for what it’s worth. While considerably more nuanced, the debut issue of Marvel’s loosely-based all-ladies Avengers squad also succumbs to being a quasi-amorphous mass of capes doling out a public service announcement. Remember the cartoon “Super-Friends”? If not, the Saturday Morning staple of the 1970s and 80s saw DC Comics’ heavyweights imposingly handing down life lessons on an episodic basis. ![]()
