Avengers Next

When you read Marvel Comics today, you would find that there are a lot of universe in the comic. There's the default universe where Spider-Man, Avengers, and Fantastic Four takes place. There's also the Ultimate universe, with the more modern and stylish Marvel characters. There's also the Mangaverse where the story of Marvel characters written and drawn in manga style (CD Code: 86).

During the late 1990s Marvel launched a second generation books, called Marvel 2. You can see Spider-Girl (daughter of Spider-Man)and Wild Child (daughter of Wolverine) in here. Now these characetrs were modernized and were put on mini series.

The first crossover series are Last Hero Standing and Last Planet Standing (CD Code: 188), that began the foundation of these alternate universe. Then, comes the Avengers Next mini series, with new characters introduced: American Dream (successor of Captain America), Spider-Girl, J2 (son of Juggernaut), Thunderstrike (member of the old Avengers), Streak and others who become the legacy of the old Avengers.

The story is quite light hearted and so much different than the dark tone that was established in Marvel Ultimate universe. It feels like reading old Marvel comic books again.
