I have six Marvel characters who might just be exactly right for a man Joaquin Phoenix’s ability and taste, starting with a villain he once could have fought against.
An Animated AVENGERS Series Could Fill in the Gaps of the MCU
Twitter
Recently, Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige revealed that a fifth
Avengers movie will happen “at some point.” But whenever it does come to pass, it will almost certainly feature an entirely new Avengers team. For those of us hoping to see Cap, Iron Man, Thor, and the rest together again, it seems that ship has sailed. At least in live-action.
As footage from the upcoming Disney+ series
What If…? shows, animation is a perfectly viable way to tell MCU stories. It’s also a plausible way to rally the original actors to reprise their roles. Kevin Feige has had great success in getting most of the MCU actors to lend their voices to their animated counterparts for

The first page gets us caught up on the last few issues including Hellcat’s seeming connection to the omnipotent Michael Korvac.

Korvac still has War Machine prisoner and has whisked Hellcat away, but…
…Iron Man finds her and comforts her as she seems emotionally broken.
Then we get the Iron Man and Korvac confrontation as…
…Iron Man’s team finds Korvac’s ship and presumably War Machine, but…

Best Comic of the Week:
Post Americana #1 – Steve Skroce returns with a new series set after the fall of the American Empire. A secret government facility has been housing the remnants of the military, and a bunch of rich people, who are now ready to pull a First Order, and take over the Wasteland. A small group tries to stop them, and two escape. At the same time, a young woman is discovered by a tribe of cannibals and scavengers, who go to investigate the crash of the vessel the first two men escaped in. This is an irreverent look at post-Apocalyptic society, which owes as much to Garth Ennis’s Crossed as it does to movies like The Omega Man, and it’s kind of fun. Skroce is a great artist, and writes to his strengths, so there’s a lot to enjoy here.
