An Avengers Christmas

Looking for a light-hearted story for the holidays? M. Deanpool says this comic will put you in the holiday spirits. (And there's likely not going to be a Weekly Pick-Up since it's Christmas today, so here's this instead!) Pick up Avengers Annual #1. The plot centers around a girl named Zamira who stays behind after a field-trip to the Avengers Tower the day before Christmas. Her super-abilities to project/clone different personalities of herself that mimic people she meets gets her and the Avengers into an interesting, and quite humorous, predicament. It's a feel-good comic with fun drawings to look at. With all the mayhem from the Infinity events, this story presents a jollier, sillier story filled with one-liners and witty jokes from the likes of Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, and Black Widow. Almost every page leaves you with a good laugh. Even the art is drawn a bit more cartoonish, which matches the theme appropriately. On a smaller note, there's a nice small section of the story where Captain America spends part of his Christmas at a retirement home (always such a goodie goodie). A fun Christmas story, and the interaction between the heroes alone makes it worth it. And you can see Iron Man and Hulk stuck in purple foam.

Zamira can't control her powers well.

Happy Holidays all, from M. Deanpool and Me.
