Into the Dark Dimension (Marvel: Crisis Protocol)

by Stuart Moore

[Quirky Cat]

Book Summary:

Sometimes protecting the world doesn't go quite as planned. Take the battle against Dormammu. In an ideal situation, he never would have gotten such a strong foothold on the planet. Yet here he is, so close to conquering it.

To save the earth, different heroes must step up, creating new paths to victory. Doctor Strange must reassemble his team, the Shadow Avengers. Meanwhile, Tony Stark will focus on cooking up new technology (and the people to run it) to take the fight from a different direction. Ms. Marvel will seek out a new and unlikely ally.

My Review:

Honestly, there's little better than finding a new Marvel book to dive into. At least, that's how I feel about it! So when I saw Into the Dark Dimension sitting out in the world, I knew I had to snatch it up and try it. Okay, the fact that Stuart Moore wrote it significantly helped my motivation here.

Into the Dark Dimension is perfect for Marvel fans that have a deep appreciation of the complicated lore that is...well, Marvel in a nutshell. It's a lot, and that's not a bad thing. There are dozens of different characters weaving throughout the story, and not enough time to hold the reader's hands about their backstories. We have characters like Doctor Strange, Tony Stark, Ms. Marvel, Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Cloak, Dagger, the whole Guardians of the Galaxy crew, and Shang-Chi. And I'm confident I'm missing a few!

Thankfully, this is Stuart Moore we're talking about. The man has spent SO much time working in the depths of Marvel. So the balance between these characters is pretty well done, believe it or not.

I should probably mention that Into the Dark Dimension is based on the Marvel Crisis Protocol Game. So everything in this book is related to that universe, and thus isn't precisely the same as what is seen in the comics or movies.

Highlights:
Marvel Universe
Doctor Strange/Tony Stark/Ms. Marvel
Dormammu
Shadow Avengers
