It's official! Elizabeth Olsen has officially joined the cast of The Avengers: Age of Ultron as Scarlet Witch! We found out a while back that Alan Taylor-Johnson will be Scarlet Witch's mutant brother, Quicksilver, and since that announcement much speculation has been going around about who will be playing his sister, Scarlet Witch. We found out through an interview with Samuel L. Jackson that Olsen was, if not already cast, being strongly looked at to play this role. It was announced via Marvel.com earlier this morning that Olsen will indeed be dawning the maroon spandex and head piece.

I have never seen Olsen act before so I am going into this with an open mind and am looking forward to seeing how she will do in this role! Are you excited about the news of Olsen being cast at Scarlet Witch? Or would you have liked to have seen someone else in that role? Sound off below and let me know what you think and whether or not you're excited for The Avengers: Age of Ultron

The Avengers: Age of Ultron is set to be released on May 1st 2015 and stars Robert Downy Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, James Spader, and Mark Ruffalo

Publisher: Marvel Comics
Title: Avengers #023
Price: $3.99
Writer: Jonathan Hickman
Artist: Leinil Francis Yu

The final Avengers book in the Infinity event and one of the final main titles for the Infinity event, Avengers #023 does not disappoint! We see the Avengers fighting to save earth from the evil tyrant Thanos, with a little bit of help from their com-rads. 

Story Summary (some spoilers)
As the Marvel event Infinity slowly comes to an end, Avengers #023 focuses on Captain America's fleet of Avengers as they prepare to take out Thanos' army. In the beginning of the book Captain America and Iron Man are talking about taking out the army that has attacked Wakanda but Iron Man insists that he has that situation covered and wants Cap to go straight after Thanos. The next thing we see is Cap and the leaders of his formed army discussing how to break through the barricade. As the fleet attacks Thanos' command ship we find that the Avengers and their allies are outnumbered by Thanos' forces and have to send people to the inside. Black Widow takes a small crew with her as they enter the mother ship in an attempt to take it down. Widow and her team are met by the commander, Black Dwarf, who has a small group of soldiers with him. Widow and her team barely survive the fight with the soldiers and are left to face Black Dwarf. As Black Dwarf is about to kill them, Gladiator brings a small team in as backup and destroys Black Dwarf. The book ends with Captain America, Captain Marvel, Thor and others about to head down to earth to take out Thanos and the remaining members of his army.

Review of the Book

Avengers #023 really lives up to what an Avengers book needs to be. A lot of fun action, and an awesome advancement for the event Infinity! The writing from Jonathan Hickman in this issue was very well done and gave us an awesome thrill ride of action and adventure! The art in this issue was also very very well done! I am a very big fan of Yu's art style and love all the books that their art appears in! It's a very realistic style but still carries that perfect amount of  catrooniness that a super hero book needs!

Pros, Cons, and Rating

Pros: Good writing, beautiful art, and is an awesome/fun ride!
Cons: I would have liked to have seen more of the action with the Avengers in space. I.e Spider-Woman, Hulk etc.

Rating: 10/10. This is everything someone would want out of an Avengers book and is a fun ride from beginning to end!

Spoiler Sections Marked - Feel Free to Skip Spoiler Sections

This is part 2 of 2 for this Secret Avengers, Infinity tie-in arc, and though I absolutely loved the issue before this (Issue #010) I felt like this issue was lacking in story but was a good solid ending to the story. I know, that may sound a bit confusing. We pick up right where issue 10 left off, with our heroes trapped by yet another Inhuman. If you've been reading Infinity you know about the whole Terragenesis thing that happened with Black Bolt. Through this issue we see S.H.E.I.L.D Director Maria Hill trying to get online with the team in the field, while we see the team in the field (Nick Fury, Agent Coulson, Iron Patriot and Sarah Garza) fight for their lives against the Inhuman who is attacking them. 

Summary of the Story(some spoilers)

As I said, story wise it was fulfilling but was nothing great and felt like it was lacking compared to issue 10. Most of the book is back and fourth banter between Maria Hill, attempting to get a com back online with her team, and Nick Fury telling the rest of the team what the plan of action will be to take down the villain. Through all of this, Sarah Garza (a recently turned Inhuman/Super Hero) is narrating telling us how she doesn't feel like she can do this anymore and how she doesn't think she is good enough to run with the big dogs. After Nick Fury and his team break free from the Inhuman's grip they find refuge in a demolished house and formulate a plan. After the plan goes south and the Inhuman finds where the rest of the team is hiding (Nick Fury attempts to talk the Inhuman into relaxing and not killing everyone) he throws a car into the building in which the team is taking refuge, and Sarah Garza is believed to have been killed. Through a little shpeal that the Inhuman is going on, Sarah Garza's body absorbs the power from the car crash and uses it to become basically the Human Tourch. Sarah is able to stop the Inhuman and brings him within an inch of his life. As she is about to kill him, she realizes that she isn't strong enough and won't ever be able to kill anyone. Consequently, Nick Fury put a bullet into the back of the Inhumans head and killed him right then and there. The book ends with Sarah Garza telling Director Hill that there is no way she is going to be able to kill anyone and that she is no longer going to be a field agent.

Review of the Book

I stated above that the writing was both a good but disappointing ending, and what I meant by this was that it was a good wrap up to the arc, but was very basic and has been done a million times before this. It was a good ending because we got to see a character become who they truly are and realize exactly what they want to do. Bad, because we've seen this done before in basically every super hero comic at some point in time. The art in this book was average. It wasn't anything spectacular but was nothing terrible either. I feel like the art works very well with the Infinity event going on and overall really works for this specific story.

Pros, Cons, and Rating.

Pros: Good art, fun action, and fun characters
Cons: Disappointing ending, Okay writing, and something we've heard a million times before

Rating: 7/10. Fun read if you read it with issue #010 as well.
