6. “Unstable Elements!”
Writer: Kurt Busiek
Artist: Mark Bagley
Ah, a good old down-time issue. These are always fun and I love them. They give you some time to get to know the characters and build their personal relationships. Songbird and Mach-1’s burgeoning romance blossoms, Moonstone tightens her grip on Jolt, Zemo and Moonstone try to outmaneuver each other, Atlas and Dallas flirt, it’s fun.
The team also fights a group of element monsters but when Dallas refuses to unseal the old Avengers records, Zemo gets pissy and refuses to help the city fight these monsters further. Look, Zemo is incredibly bad at pretending to be a hero. Which was a plan HE CAME UP WITH.
To be clear, this isn’t criticism, I love this. Zemo being bad at his own plan is a great concept in pretty much every way. I adore it. He’s just a supervillain who doesn’t know how to do anything else.
