The Continued Adventures of Perth's Mightiest Heroes

After all the excitement of the Avengers landing in Perth the other week, you may think it's finally blown over and it's safe to roam our streets once again. You're wrong, dead wrong in fact.

Avengers #15 by scribes Jonathan Hickman and Nick Spencer and master artist Stefano Caselli hit the stands yesterday and our fair city is the central setting once again. That's right, Cap, Thor and the rest of the gang are still having a super hero smack down out in St George's Terrace. You may want to watch out for flying Mjolnirs when you're on your morning commute into the CBD tomorrow.

Hit the jump for my recap of the continued adventures of Perth's Mightiest Heroes! (See what I did there?)

The Avengers Assemble… in Perth?!

This week I sat down in a comfy chair and settled in to read my usual weekly stack of comics. As always I start with the Marvel books. I’ve been a Marvel reader for 20-odd years so they get priority. Anyone who’s seen my wrist knows I’m a huge Avengers fan, of course. The best Avengers book currently running? Easy. Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers. It’s a high concept, science fiction odyssey spanning the world and the universe. I love the scope, the gravitas of it all. His Avengers is always one of the first things I devour.

Now as I read issue #14 this week and appreciated Caselli’s gorgeous art I got a great surprise. The Avengers were headed to Australia. Now that is exciting enough but not only were they coming to my country, they were coming to my city!

That’s right! Earth’s Mightiest Heroes have landed in sleepy old Perth!
