Spoilers

Marvel Comics Legacy and Avengers #678 Spoilers follow for Avengers No Surrender Part 4!

More Death As The Game Proceeds? Also, Is There More To Voyager Than Meets The Eye?

The book opens with the usual summary catch-up on the story page and…

…a dramatis personae.

The Avengers and the Earth are stuck being on the gameboard or the Grandmaster and a mystery opponent. The Black Order and the Lethal Legion are the players fighting against each other representing the Grandmaster and his opponent.

The Avengers are scattered between Rome, Peru and Avengers HQ. In Peru, from the last issue, Quicksilver appeared to die, but he was just frozen like many other Avengers on the game-board of Earth.

The Grandmaster and his opponent discuss each other’s “teams” as…

…we get the first interior look at the Grandmaster’s opponent; although he is fully revealed on a variant cover from next week’s Avengers #679: Avengers No Surrender Part 5 HERE.

Avenger Snapse has a brainquake of some kind of discovers that the Lethal Legion and Black Order are fighting over artifacts to score points; the artifacts are pyramoids it seems. They around the size of a cosmic cube.

Intead of assembling, the Avengers decide to let the villains beat each other up. No more “Avengers Assemble” battle cry, but “Avengers Observe” instead.

At Avengers HQ, Voyager has transported a frozen Quicksilver back for care. The Vision wakes and someone becomes frozen in Quicksilver’s place. Vision also doesn’t recognize Voyager despite others remembering her from the past. Is Voyager all that she seems?

Back in Rome, a member of the Lethal Legion grabs the pyramoid and seemingly disintegrates, but…

…he got his team the point!

Seeing this Rogue sends Lightning to Peru to let the Avengers team know about the perils of coming into contact with the pyramoid.

Lightning arrives and competes with the Red Hulk and…

…the Human Torch for the pyramoid!

Johnny Storm seemingly dies, but could this be a fake-out cliffhanger like last week’s involving Quicksilver? I say yes.

We then also get teases of Avengers No Surrender parts 5 to 7…

…in Avengers #678 to #681.
