Another globe-spanning adventure gives us the backstory of yet another of the Avengers of One Million B.C. The origin of the Stone Age Phoenix is intercut with a tournament in the present day to decide who will be the newest person to merge with the Phoenix Force. There are tons of guest stars plus Aaron visits the many super-teams he has been juggling since the start of the series: Winter Guard, Squadron Supreme of America, Legion of the Unliving, and Defenders of the Deep. So many characters! And the final chapter ties into the King in Black crossover aftermath.

Overstuffed, but still fun with its Contest of Champions one-on-one matches. Superhero fanboy nirvana! (

This... is not good. The amount of retconning that is involved in this story in order to force the Phoenix to fit into the story is astounding. Most of it is derivative, and wildly reminiscent of Phoenix stories that have already been told, and been told better. All of this to take a predominantly X-Men related character/theme and force it into an Avengers story, along with retconning another Avengers character's parentage, is scraping the bottom of the barrel, IMO. I haven't read any of the Avengers comics in quite a while, and this certainly did nothing to make me interested in reading anything else.

I was really looking forward to Hickman being able to do something Phoenix-related in his new X-Men world, but I don't see that happening now anytime soon. (
