Your A-list, top-tier Marvel supervillains are probably insufferable to drink with. Always bemoaning their latest defeat, which they won’t call a defeat. No self-reflection. Always “that fool Richards” this, “if it weren’t for Iron Man’s cursed armor” that. And they probably all drink out of chalices, whether it’s wine, the souls of the vanquished or ginger ale.
Now, your C-list jobbers – your Masters of Evil, your Lethal Legion, your Spider-Man villains who get beat up in the first half of the comic – that’s a crew you can go drinking with at the Bar with No Name. No pretensions, no dramatics, no flouncing. They just want a cold beer and an ice pack to nurse their black eyes and swollen groins. Real salt of the Earth-616 types.
Check out our exclusive preview of Avengers #31, out next week, and keep scrolling for the basic deets.
