Marvel Comics and Avengers #45 Spoilers and Review follows.

Squadron Supreme Pops Up Before Heroes Reborn!

Plus King In Black and Vampire Nation Finales!

We open with a storyline catch-up and creators credits page.

Then just one page on the King in Black event to open the issue.

Later in the issue we get a Squadron Supreme of America cameo as they protect Washington D.C.

Then we see the Vampire Nation…

…make demands of recognition including at the U.N., like the Mutant Nation of Krakoa, due to their defense of Earth against the forces of Knull during King in Black.

Elsewhere, new Phoenix hots Echo and Ghost Rider host Robbie Reyes…

…kibitz about the legacy and challenges of the centuries old forces that power them.

The Avengers go the Vampire Nation who demand Blade be turned over to them.

However, he is ready to do his part for the Vampire Nation as…

…it’s law enforcement!

The Pulse:

And that’s that until July 2021 as Heroes Reborn begins in May 2021; a world without the Avengers or some such. Not much on King in Black despite its prominence on the cover. The vampire stuff was interesting, but underwhelming. Nice nod to Avengers 1,000,000 B.C. and a cool Squadron Supreme of America cameo before their star making turn in Heroes Reborn. No action though despite solid art. 6 out of 10.
