Discover a world without Avengers!
Tony Stark never built an iron armor. Thor is a hard-drinking atheist who despises hammers. Wakanda is dismissed as a myth. Captain America was never found in the ice. Instead, this planet has always been protected by Earth's Mightiest Heroes: the Squadron Supreme of America!
But who is responsible for this altered Earth? Why is the vampire-hunting Blade the one man who remembers how things should be? And what will he do about it? It's the complete saga of a world reborn, featuring familiar faces as you've never seen them before!

It takes a quite bit to genuinely surprise me when it comes to mainstream comics, but the freshly concluded Heroes Reborn story arc by Jason Aaron is one of those comics. This arc must have evaded my radar entirely, as when I was sent the trade to review, I assumed it was a return to the Heroes Reborn pocket universe created in the aftermath of the Onslaught Saga in the mid-’90s. Thankfully, this is far removed from that series of books, and lets the uber-competent Aaron (with the help of a slew of talented artists) tell a truly compelling story that doesn’t seem like a disposable “What If…?” type adventure.
In many ways, this book is an exploration into what the Marvel Universe would be like if it were the DC Universe. Rather than the rise of the Avengers to defend Earth, we have Squadron Supreme (a less than subtle parallel for the Justice League) taking center stage as the focal superheroes in this cosmos. In addition to regulating members of the Avengers to lesser heroes or unknowns, Aaron amalgamates several important figures into new creations. The Marvel characters you know have been twisted and altered by this different universe, with only Blade aware that something is awry in this alternate universe as he works to uncover its secrets.
