6. Thunder…Thunder…THUNDER!
(Multiversity: Thunderworld Adventures #1)
Holy hell, this one is a beautiful piece of comic booking.
Not just because of Cameron Stewart’s clean and bold artwork, but because of Nathan Fairbairn’s perfect coloring. Seriously, the guy nailed this issue. It’s bright and beautiful and superhero-y to the extreme. As fun as the story is, and as gorgeous as the art is, it’s the coloring that’s MVP for me.
But this one is a straight-up Captain Marvel adventure featuring Mary Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr., and Dr. Sivana. Yes, there’s some multiversal crossover stuff centered around the league of Sivanas from other earths, but that’s more supplemental than pivotal. Also, murderous Sivana is frigging terrifying, and I don’t like looking at him or his Hannibal Lecter face mask.
We get one more tie-in to the connecting comic book subplot with a reference to SOS, but other than that, it’s pretty standalone. But that’s not so true about…
