Was This The Least Appropriate Comic For 9/11 Week?

There will be spoilers for New Avengers Annual #2 published this week, including a reproduction of the final page. You have been warned.

This week's Marvel Comics (yes, Marvel published some comics this week as well) feature pages from their Moment Of Silence and Heroes comics, published in the wake of the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center in New York.

Superhero action is always going to jar with such events, considering the destructive properties inherent within the genre. But New Avengers Annual #2 it seems to go out of its way.

The story sees Wonder Man as having recruited a bunch of heroes/villains to take down the Avengers Mansion, in a righteous cause that the Avengers cause far more problems than they ever solve, from Ultron to the Scarlet Witch, and as a result the organisation must be eliminated.

And, while the battle swings back and forth, ultimately the Wonder Man and his team are successful. The Avengers are defeated, and the building is destroyed, lies in ruins around them. While the sucessful team look up, across Manhattan to their next target, the Avengers Tower, to be continued in the yet-to-besolicited Avengers Annual. This is the final page.

Then directly followed by pages from the 9/11 volume A Moment Of Silence and Heroes. Like this one.

It's bloody weird that's all I'm saying. Bloody weird.

Pages from these volumes will appear in around 70 Marvel comics through the month of September.
