Avengers #5 - Accusation Most Foul



Writer: Kurt Busiek
Penciler: George Perez

The Avengers face off against rival superhero team Squadron Supreme.

Meanwhile, Vision and Wanda's relationship (or lack thereof) is fraught and uncertain, and Jarvis makes ambrosial chicken picatta.

I really love Thor and Jarvis's interactions in this issue (in this run as a whole, actually).

Vision, on the other hand, is so frustrating in his overly-diffident refusal to actually talk to Wanda. It's in character, though. He and Wanda took ages to finally confess their feeling to one another back in volume one, largely because Vision is so indecisive and reserved about feelings (his or anyone else's).

This team is a bit of a hot mess. Carol puts the team in danger by refusing to disclose tactically important information to Steve, Clint can't stop mouthing off, Vision refuses to deal with his emotions, Tony is offering relationship advice, and Wanda has survivor's guilt over Simon. It looks like our poor Avengers need more than just combat training together.

My favourite panels this week were the sidelong glances. Tony looking at Wanda when Steve assures Vision. Steve looking at ogling Tony for no apparent reason in the plane.

Who wants to bet Jarvis received the first invitation to visit Asgard?
