Comic of the Week: Dark Avengers: Ares #3

Everyone was talking about Blackest Night #6 because it was a great title. I agree. I think it was phenomenal. However, there was this other title that just really got to me. It could be because Ares, the god of war, has been skyrocketing in popularity since the days of the Iron Man-led Mighty Avengers and that I think he’s a great character. It could also be because I’ve been playing a lot of Modern Warfare 2 lately. Either way, this week’s comic of the week is Ares #3.

Ares #3 is a fantastic mixture of elements of brotherhood, drama, and a ton of badassery.
