Kang gets drunk in our EXCLUSIVE preview of Marvel’s Avengers #31
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…
