West Coast Avengers 101 Review

It is now time to take a look at West Coast Adventures Volume 2 Issue 101, released in December 101, entitled "Genosha, Mon Amour". In this episode, the United Nations intervenes with the mass slaughter of humans all through Genosha. The West Coast Avengers and the X-Men try and mediate the situation the best they can.

West Coast Avengers Volume 2 Issue 101 Review

This issue was released by Marvel Comic Books in December 1993, as part of the Bloodties Event from Marvel Comics. West Coast Adventures Volume 2 Issue 1 was written by Roy Thomas, pencilled by David Ross, Inked by Tim Dzon, Colored by Bob Sharen, and lettered by Steve Dutro.

You can tell that this is an event comic book during the 1990s, because there are a lot of characters involved and there is mass slaughter and world changing events that will change the world until the next world changing events.

We had the West Coast Avengers, the regular Avengers, and a number of X-Men, in addition to the United Nation and the villains that are in this comic book. There is a lot of business in this comic book, where very few characters get very little page time.

Do not get me wrong at all, this comic book kept me turning the pages. It kept my interest rather captivated for the vast majority of the issue, but there is a lot to digest in a very short time and if you had picked this comic randomly or just picked it up without any foreknowledge it would be very mind numbing.

Fabian Cortez is a featured villain and I'll be honest, not a villain I really had all that much about. He just came across a generic mutant-supremacist villain. Exodus was another villain that I was kind of iffy on although his fight with War Machine was well played.

Without looking at the comic books that came before or after this, it is tricky to make any kind of judgment book.  I'll have to give this one a cautious look but not one that the reader should not go too far out of their way to acquire.
