Avengers (1963) Annual #10 by Michael Golden, Chris Claremont
5.0
It's difficult to read old "classic" comics because the art isn't as sophisticated and the writing style is pretty old fashioned and extremely cheesy! However I think this is a very important issue to read and it packs a punch.
You've got Spider-woman rescuing Carol Danvers after Rogue took her memories, powers and personality and left her a blank slate. Professor X helped her get her memories back which includes everything that happened with Marcus in what I known now as 'The Rape of Ms Marvel' story.
Meanwhile the Avengers and Spider-Woman have a pretty epic fight with Mystique, her Brotherhood of Mutants and Rogue (who has Ms Marvel powers plus Captain America and Thor!).
The conclusion of this issue is where it gets really good. The Avengers visit Carol at the Xavier's and she really lays into them about what they did to her by being happy about the creepy pregnancy and letting Marcus take her away with big smiles and waves, and how much she hated them for betraying her like that. She even slaps Thor! The Avengers all go away shamefaced and with a lot to think about.
I do love Carol.
My main negative with this is that I'm pretty sure Rogue is a teenager in this story but she's drawn like a haggard 50 year old lady with bad hooker make up. Very distracting!
