Marvel Now: Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy Titles up to the Secret Wars.
Ok to kick off my post on Marvel Now Avengers and Guardian of the Galaxy issue summaries,
wanted to start the post with a top ten
and in this case it's my top Ten
favorite Marvel Now Avengers:

transport to one place to another, on a galactic scale, and also he becomes a
important factor in the Universal Collapse.
·
8 Old Steve Rogers: He's pist
and is hell bent on bring the Illuminates down for leaving him in the dark
about the incursions, and he has a special bone to pick with Tony Stark.

5 Hyperion: He was pretty under
used during the Avengers now era, but I loved to see him in action with his buddies the Zebra Heads.
·
4 Unworthy Thor: He kicks butt,
he a broken man that lost his hammer but
he's got this super powerful axe that can chop up celestials.  |

2 Hawkeye: I don't care what
era the Avengers are in Hawkeye is always one of my favorites, even though he
didn't do much during the Marvel now time.
·
1 Sam Wilson Captain America:

can keep the shield for a long while.

search of Thanos.
Rating: 7
The Watcher is found dead, now the Avengers that have found his body,
so they have to find the killer and find out why the hell the killer
stole his eyes. At the same time you have another
group of heroes, that we’ll call Panther and friends that goes on wild goose
chase across earth, space and magical dimensions finding dead bodies of monsters, demons and aliens, and somehow these killing have something to do
with the watcher killing.
2: Black Panther and friends conclude that who killed these monsters is
the same person that killed the watcher. On the other hand you have Avengers that
find out who stole one of the Watchers eyes thanks to the Mindless Ones, and it’s
Midas the has partnered up with Orb.
5: Here’s where the story stinks, they retell Nick Fury’s origin, and that
before joining shield he hunted monster, demons and aliens in his spare time. I
was really hoping that they were going to bring back Ulysses Bloodstone, he's
sort of marvels monster hunter, but nope it’s Nick Fury, man this guy was freaking
busy. The thing is that he has the other eye.
Punisher has had it with the Thunderbolts when they do
not let him kill a Old School Captain America villain that had caused them
trouble, and leaves the team but when he does it seems that Red Hulk tries to
kill him with a bomb.
New Avengers 16-23: Thing get really nasty in the last incursion, Illuminati actually end up killing another hero team from the other Earth, just pushing them over the edge. And they stop trying to stop the incursions but the world doesn't end, to their surprise. But secretly Namor formed a new team the Cabal with Thanos and friends.

Avenger 31.1: Hyperion one shot.
Original
Sin
The Watcher is found dead, now the Avengers that have found his body,
so they have to find the killer and find out why the hell the killer
stole his eyes. At the same time you have another
group of heroes, that we’ll call Panther and friends that goes on wild goose
chase across earth, space and magical dimensions finding dead bodies of monsters, demons and aliens, and somehow these killing have something to do
with the watcher killing.
Characters:
Heroes:
The Avengers, Nova, Black Panther, Ant-man, Emma Frost, Dr. Strange, Punisher,
Winter Soldier, Moon Knight, Gamora, Thing and Rocket Raccoon. I really like
the hero selection for this crossover, especially the non Avenger characters
that are on the wild goose chase.
Villains: Midas, Exterminatrix, Orb and Mindless Ones. These are pretty
obscure characters it was a ballsy move by the writer to use these guys, especial
because of the impact there going to make in Marvel (616). I have only seen
Midas and Exterminatrix once in the early 2000’s in the Marvel Boy miniseries. + Kang
Antagonist: Nick Fury and Nick Fury LMDs. Nick’s interests slam head
first with just about everyone else’s in this crossover.
The Victims: Uatu (The Watcher), you actually feel sorry for the guy.
Issues Summary:
0: Explains the Origin of the Watchers and why they do not intervene.
This particular issue tries to humanize Uatu, make feel bad that he’s going to
die.
1: The Avengers find the corpse of Uatu and some has stolen his eyes. So the Mighty Avengers start the hunt to find
the Watcher murderer and find out why the hell they stole his eyes. At the same
time you have Black Panther, Ant-man, Emma Frost, Dr. Strange, Punisher, Winter
Soldier, Moon Knight and Gamora (Panther and Friends) on a wild goose chase
finding dead monster, aliens and demons all over the place; and who sent them
on this mission?
I Also must add you have a Mindless Ones with existential issues
destroying New York City going head to head against the Thing, the Avengers and
Nick Fury.
2: Black Panther and friends conclude that who killed these monsters is
the same person that killed the watcher. On the other hand you have Avengers that
find out who stole one of the Watchers eyes thanks to the Mindless Ones, and it’s
Midas the has partnered up with Orb.
3, 4: Orb uses the Watchers eye as a weapon, and unveils some pretty
traumatic secrets especially for Thor, Hulk, Spidy and Cage. Holy Crap Thor has
a sister. While in space Winter Soldier turns on Gamora and Moon Knight abandons
them out there, he tele-transports to earth
finds Nick Fury and cuts his head off and steals the eye that Fury and the Avengers
had just retrieved from kicking Orbs butt. Panther and friends end up on a space
station in hunt for the killer and the find themselves with the real Nick Fury
that is an old man and the Fury that Bucky killed was an LMD.
Guardians of the Galaxy 18-20: We learn how Starlord, Drax and
Thanos survived the cancerverse, while Nova (Richard Rider) sacrificed himself
so they could escape.
Avengers 29-34: Captain America learn of the betrayal of
Tony and the rest of the Illuminati, falling through time into the future
learning what is to become of the Avengers and confronted Kang.
5: Here’s where the story stinks, they retell Nick Fury’s origin, and that
before joining shield he hunted monster, demons and aliens in his spare time. I
was really hoping that they were going to bring back Ulysses Bloodstone, he's
sort of marvels monster hunter, but nope it’s Nick Fury, man this guy was freaking
busy. The thing is that he has the other eye.
6, 7, 8: shit hits the fan
Repercussion and Lasting effects:
Thor has a Sister.
Thor can’t lift his hammer, which will make possible for a new lady Thor
to take the mantel.
Orb and Fury are the new Watchers ¿?
Bucky is the new monster hunter.
The Avengers are hellbent in capturing the
Illuminati
The Avengers are hellbent in capturing the
Illuminati
The
bad: No reference to the fact that Nick has run out of his Infinity Formula, and
that he gave his last doses to Bucky to save his life back in Fear Itself
crossover and that’s way he’s old and that Winter Soldier owes him big time.
The
Good: Fury had become redundant because of his African American son that has
his same name and is working for shield, so this new change is a good idea.
It’s
sort of refreshing to see that the avengers are one step behind during the whole
story and that they don’t really save the day, so the story isn’t that
predictable.

Artwork: Mike Deodato’s art work is just perfect for this story
