Avengers No More! Kree-Skrull War, Neal Adams cover
"The Avengers #92," released in September 1971, is a pivotal issue in the celebrated "Kree/Skrull War" storyline, one of the most influential arcs in the history of the Avengers comics. This issue, written by Roy Thomas with artwork by Sal Buscema and Neal Adams, delves deep into the cosmic conflict between two alien races, the Kree and the Skrulls, with Earth caught in the middle.
The issue, titled "All Things Must End!", heightens the drama and tension of the ongoing interstellar war. It opens with Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell) trapped in the Negative Zone and the Avengers facing scrutiny from the public and government due to the manipulative efforts of the Skrulls who aim to undermine Earth's defenses.
A significant part of the story involves the Vision trying to rescue Captain Marvel from the Negative Zone, showcasing the deep bonds and teamwork within the Avengers. Meanwhile, the rest of the team deals with political pressures and the threat of public backlash, orchestrated by the Skrulls who have infiltrated various levels of society.
The artwork by Sal Buscema and Neal Adams is particularly notable for its dynamic and expressive style, effectively capturing the intense action and the emotional depth of the story. The illustrations help to convey the scale of the cosmic conflict and the personal stakes for each character involved in this intergalactic war.
"The Avengers #92" is critical for its development of the "Kree/Skrull War" narrative, exploring themes of trust, betrayal, and the moral complexities of war. This issue sets the stage for the climactic battles to come and is a key chapter in what is considered one of the greatest Avengers sagas ever told.
