WAR THROUGH TIME
Not a bad issue at all. Kang is a cool villain-type. From his ability to time-travel, the writer can re-invent him a hundred times - and never has to step on any previous history. Convenient, eh?
This book finds Kang at the end of his little warfare with this futuristic civilization. Kang starts to conquer, but then has a change of heart - as he's fallen in love. As trite as it sounds - and is written - it kind of works here. Even the Avengers team goes back and forth on trusting him right until then end. As a great tragedy, of course, Kang's love is slain at the conclusion of the story. Nice insertion of the others watching, as well.
3/5
