Avengers In Ten Seasons, Season 6: The Heroic Age

11/23/2015

0 Comments

 
The Avengers franchise is what made Marvel Studios the completely dominant force in comic based entertainment. The way they streamlined Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and other characters into an expansive universe that also includes television shows like Daredevil and Agents Of SHIELD is something that has never been achieved before in motion picture entertainment.


The Avengers continuity, even without including the individual characters is supremely daunting. So, I’ve put together a chronology of some of the best Avengers related books that are currently or were recently available in collected editions (the recently available are still around for pretty cheap on various online outlets and in bookstores) into ten TV seasons.

​Can you believe Norman Osborne was still in charge at the end of last season? Surely this Dark Reign can’t last forever. Can it?

​Season 6: The Heroic Age

(showrunner: Brian Michael Bendis)
Episode 1: Dark Wolverine Prince
(written by Daniel Way and Marjorie Liu, art by Guiseppe Camuncoli)
If there was a Wolverine continuity (and I’ll probably get to it), you’d already know all about Wolvey’s son, Daken. But all you have in this continuity is that there’s a Wolverine looking guy on the Dark Avengers that you met briefly last season. Well, get to know him a little better, and maybe understand why all his teammates hate him.

Dark Wolverine. 1 episode



Episode 2: Dark Avengers Molecule Man
(written by Brian Michael Bendis, art by Mike Deodato JR)
Molecule Man is one of the least used Megavillains. He’s got a lot in common with The Scarlet Witch. Of course, Norman Osborne is probably a much bigger problem. Or, is either of them a match for The Sentry?

Molecule Man. 1 episode




Serial 1: Siege, Siege New Avengers, Siege Mighty Avengers, Siege Avengers The Initiative Siege Dark Avengers, Siege Thunderbolts, Thor Siege
(written by Brian Michael Bendis and many more, art by Alex Coipel and many more)
Norman Osborne’s next target is…Asgard. This doesn’t sit well with Asgardians or Midgardians, and the time has finally come to fight back at full power. In the end, an Avenger will die (but not one anyone remembers…fondly) and heroes will go back to being heroes again. No more fighting amongst themselves ever again. Cough cough cough cough cough.

Siege. 6 episodes




Episode 9: Avengers Prime
(written by Brian Michael Bendis, art by Alan Davis)

Now that Osborne has fallen, everyone can calm down and be friends ag…damn it, are Tony Stark and Steve Rogers STILL fighting? What will get these two back together? Maybe if we toss them and Thor into Asgard they can hash out their issues?


The Big Three. 1 episode




Episode 10: Avengers By Bendis Vol 1
(written by Brian Michael Bendis, art by John Romita JR)

Formerly Mighty, the regular team of Avengers loses their adjective. Also, a certain purple faced time traveling jerk is back.


Kangtankerous. 1 episode




Episode 11: New Avengers by Bendis Vol 1 & 2 
(written by Brian Michael Bendis, art by Stuart Immonen, Daniel Acuna, Mike Deodato JR, and Howard Chaykin)

Steve Rogers hands leadership of the team, and the keys to the mansion to Luke Cage. And now we go back to your usual sort of Avengers stories, like how Nick Fury messed everything up for these guys way back in the 1950s.


Old Business. 1 episode



Episode 12: Secret Avengers Mission To Mars
(by Ed Brubaker, art by Mike Deodato JR, and Will Conrad)

The former Captain America, Steve Rogers, has assembled a special ops team to deal with issues that the public shouldn’t find out about. But who is The Shadow Council that opposes them?


Secret Avengers. 1 episode




Episode 13: Avengers by Bendis Vol 2
(written by Brian Michael Bendis, art by John Romita JR)

Red Hulk. Red Hood. Loads of Infinity Gems. Uhoh.


The Infinity Hood. 1 episode




Episode 14: Osborn Evil Incarcerated
(written by Kelly Sue Deconnick and Warren Ellis, art by Emma Rios)

While the various Avengers teams are out gallivanting around the world, poor Norman Osborn is in prison. But maybe not for long.


Evil Incarcerated. 1 episode




Serial 2: Avengers Academy Permanent Record, Avengers Academy Will We Use This In The Real World
(written by Christos Gage, art by Mike McKone)

Hank Pym continues the idea behind The Initiative but without all the bad politics. A new class of Avengers steps into the spotlight, hoping to learn how to be the heroes of tomorrow.


Avengers Academy. 2 episodes




Serial 3: Fear Itself, Avengers Academy Fear Itself, Avengers Fear Itself
(written by Matt Fraction and more, art by Stuart Immonen and more)

Thor isn’t the only hammer wielder in The Marvel Universe. A few more of the troublesome Asgardian weapons fall to Midgard, and various heroes and villains take possession of them to wreak havoc. Luckily, Tony Stark has a plan. Thor? Not so much.


Fear Itself. 2 episodes




Serial 4: New Avengers Volume 3, Avengers Volume 3
(written by Brian Michael Bendis, art by Neal Adams, Mike Deodato JR, Will Conrad)

Osborne is on the loose. Again. But now he has a whole new team of Dark Avengers at his disposal. Plus AIM and other things Osborn should never have access to.


Stop HAMMER Time. 2 episode



Season 6 is 20 episodes.
