    Avengers Forever #10 Review

    Matthew PetersonBy Matthew PetersonNovember 3, 20223 Mins Read

    The multiversal Avengers are nearly complete. All they need is a Tony Stark. Too bad the one they have is stuck at the bottom of a bottle of whiskey. Your Major Spoilers review of Avengers Forever #10 from Marvel Comics awaits!

    You can purchase this issue via our Amazon affiliate link

    AVENGERS FOREVER #10

    Writer: Jason Aaron
    Artist: Jim Towe
    Colorist: GURU eFX
    Letterer: VC’s Cory Petit
    Editor: Tom Brevoort
    Publisher: Marvel Comics
    Cover Price: $3.99
    Release Date: November 2, 2022

    Previously in Avengers Forever: The pillars are in place. The most important Avengers from throughout the Multiverse have been assembled. All but one. A Tony Stark is needed. But the only one who’s available is a man the size of an ant who comes with a very large problem.

    STARK TREK: DISCOVERY

    In the interdimensional Hellcharger, Deathlok, the All-Rider, and the Invincible Ant-Man prepare for the completion of their task. But there’s one more Pillar of The Avengers to be collected along with their Rogers, their Danverses, their Thor, and their Panther: They need a Tony Stark. Unfortunately, the Multiversal Masters have been stealing futures, which has been very hard on the Tonys of the universe. One is burned at the stake as a witch, another has given up his body to inhabit a giant form, and a third cannot bring himself to leave his cave and his box of scraps until his armor is absolutely perfect. It’s an endless array of broken heroes, and Tony “Ant-Man” Stark is very much unhappy with the situation. Deathlok hints more than once that their quest could be much shorter if Stark just put down his bottles, but it takes the most unexpected Stark of them all to drive that message home.

    THE EXPECTED ENDING

    I was confused by the solicitation for this issue claiming that the team still needed a Tony while Ant-Man is already in play, but the execution made much more sense. Invincible Ant-Man slowly realizing that his alternate selves are more broken than most heroes makes the issue’s expected ending feel earned, and the final pages allow him to do more than just watch “himself” suffer. The glimpses of life in the Hell-Charger are also engaging, especially given the framing of the last few issues. Towe’s art has a lot going for it (his Ghost Rider faces are terrifying, reminding us that Robbie Reyes doesn’t live here anymore), but it’s the emotions of the various Tony Starks we meet that make the story really sing. As the issue ends, Ant-Man and his other selves have met to share and talk about their problems, which reminds us why he’s the Ultimate Stark.

    BOTTOM LINE: THE SORBET TO CLEAR THE PALATE

    Of course, the whole idea of “Ultimate” anything bothers me in this context, but Avengers Forever #10 manages to get past the question of why the originals as created by Lee and Kirby aren’t the Prime versions, giving us a look into the psyche of Tony Stark(s) with art that is as comfortable with a flying muscle car from hell as it is a 12-step meeting, wrapping up into a better-than-average 3.5 out of 5 stars overall.

    A different Approach

    While I'm annoyed at the concept of The Pillars, the execution here is top-notch, and the art makes up for a multitude of sins, making us feel for every single alt-Tony we encounter.

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.
