6. Black Vortex
Included Titles: Black Vortex Alpha # 1, Guardians of the Galaxy # 24-25, Legendary Star-Lord # 9-11, All-New X-Men # 38-39, Guardians Team-Up # 3, Nova # 28, Cyclops # 12, Captain Marvel # 14, and Black Vortex Omega # 1
This one’s pretty recent. Both of the All-New X-Men/Guardians of the Galaxy crossovers are pretty fun, but this is the bigger one so I picked it over the Trial of Jean Grey. In it, The Black Vortex is rediscovered, a powerful doorway that unlocks the ultimate power of any who go through it. And it is being chased after by the Guardians, the X-Men, and Mr. Knife, aka Star Lord’s father J-Son of the Spartax Empire.
The fun part here is the massive crossover of Marvel’s cosmic books. Nova and Captain Marvel both get to pop up and hang out, which is a blast, and even Ronan the accuser gets to have a spotlight chapter. But what’s most fun is seeing various X-Men and others go through the Black Vortex and go all super mode. They’re great designs and they don’t overstay their welcome.
Long-term effects: Angel kept his super-mode, what with the fire wings and everything! So not too major, but still a big character change.
