REVIEW: Avengers #4

Or – “We’ve Got Nearly Half A Dozen Hyperions To Choose From…”

The Marvel Universe is a long-lasting and diverse place, which means that certain characters have had a LOT of divergent takes.  Hyperion, for instance, was introduced as a villain, whom we late discovered was based on an extra-dimensional hero, after which a third Hyperion appeared, and then we’re cha-cha-ing.  When the latest H-Man appeared as part of Captain America’s latest Avengers team, I was intrigued and now it’s time to see what’s up with his backstory as he faces off with the villainous Ex Nihilo.  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
