Marvel Comics and Avengers #54 Spoilers and Review follows.

Corpses Riddle The Road To Judgment Day With X-Men and Eternals!

The issue has a few more variant covers on top of the “foreshadow” variant cover above for AXE: Judgment Day.

Plus the main cover.

However, it looks better without the overused text.

The promise of the book can be discerned from its solicitation.

Avengers #54
Writer: Jason Aaron
Penciler: Juan Frigeri
Cover Artist: Javier Garron

Doctor Doom and his Multiversal Masters of Evil have come hunting Deathloks. And now there’s only one Deathlok left, trapped inside the rubble of a besieged Avengers Mountain. Just in time for a new group of Avengers to rise from the ruins, with new members and at least one Avenger having been wildly transformed. And just who is the cosmic general who commands the Deathloks, the mysterious Avenger Prime?

As reminder below are the Multiversal Masters of Evil.

Well the Dark Phoenix has a new Hound in the form of a Thor who takes on…

…the Avengers’ Thor who gets help from their resident Phoenix in the form of Echo.

The Hound Thor is defeated…

…with a bit of surprise help from the Dark Phoenix who abandons him and takes his version of the Mjolnir.

Elsewhere, the remainder of the Multiversal Masters of Evil are kibitzing with Mephisto as…

…they discuss their détente as…

…Doom Supreme literally takes a bite out of the Watcher’s eye, the one the now deceased Orb had worn, to get some of its powers.

He departs leaving the remainder of the eye to be devoured by Mephisto.

The book begins to end with…

…the Avengers making their own détentes and comprises…

…to get stronger to take on the threat of the Multiversal Masters of Evil, but…

…it looks like they may need a new base as the Celestial husk they had been using has been comprised by these multiversal villains.

The Pulse:

An entertaining issue, but the stakes don’t feel as high as they should as the Multiversal Masters of Evil are new and some of their members of this arc have been disposable including their Thor. Solid art though. 6.5 out of 10.
