Marvel Comics Universe and Avengers #30 Spoilers and Review follows.
Heralds Of Galactus and X-Men Frenemy Gladiator Vs…
…Surprising New Starbrand Host!
The Starbrand has joined with a pregnant woman…
…whom Gladiator and the Heralds of Galactus were after…
…putting the Avengers squarely in the middle protecting the pregnant woman.
She-Hulk and Captain America stay with her as the rest of the Avengers battle the intergalactic threats.
We learn how this human woman ended up in space; essentially the economy was so bad where she lived she took on a jon in space picking sci-fi fruit and was arrested for being an illegal alien.
She somehow became possessed by the Starbrand and escaped prison.
In modern day, she gives birth to a daughter; mother dies in labour.
The Heralds of Galactus play the Three Wise Men to the baby Starbrand’s Jesus…
…and give her three gifts which seem more like prayers than gifts supernatural or otherwise.
The Avengers are left wondering what will happen to them and the world around them when this baby Starbrand cries as babies often do.
Next up, is an Avengers 1,000,000 BC tale that has modern day Tony Stark stuck in the past.
The Pulse:
A cheesy end to a compelling arc with solid art despite change in pencillers in the issue. 7 out of 10.
