Avengers Twilight (Marvel's Version of Kingdom Come) (2024) - Comic Story Explained

Full Comic Story and Review/Recap for Avengers Twilight. A thrillingly dark new vision of the Avengers! In a gleaming new world of prosperity, Captain America is no more. But Steve Rogers still exists, floating through an America where freedom is an illusion, the Avengers are strangers and his friends are long dead. But is the Dream itself dead? And how do you assemble Avengers in a world that doesn't want them? With the clock ticking down to New Year's Day, Steve must build an army to save America! Will his surviving friends sign up, or will he have to lead the ragtag group called the Defenders against the expert military marksman known as Bullseye? And can Steve infiltrate the Raft, a government facility full of secrets and danger off the shores of New York City, before the new Iron Man sentences him to the same gruesome fate as Tony Stark?

One of the most underrated comic content creators on KZbin

[@williamj.dovejr.8613]

In Kingdom Come, Superman was the symbol everyone rallied behind, here it is Steve Rogers. Rogers is the closest thing the Avengers have to someone with the character and wisdom of Superman.

[@ashleybanks-wm4cg]

The stories aren't even similar

[@ianfontanet4230]

Okay, who else want to see Avengers Twilight being adapted into a movie or a miniseries, either live action or animated?

[@limitlesslifetv8711]

Disney owning the rights scares the shit outta me

[@stevendixon6583]

🤩🤩WOW! Not used to seeing the Avengers so helpless 😳💯

[@richardabia9735]

Great video Danny malt, as ALWAYS !!! It is not a Perfect story, but it is a very fun, beautiful and emotional story !!! The ending is the best part. RIP Benny the Comicstorian. He was a Great person and made me and so many others happy with his comics content. God bless him. We will see Benny again in Heaven, but not any time soon at all I pray ! To Benny ! The Comicstorian, the LEGEND !!!

So cool you did this right when the story was completed!!! Thanks Bro!

Lol the fact 1:10:39 the fact that she would’ve just been stuck there😂

[@notmyrealname9504]

HellBoy... Lets do HellBoy its fantastic and its time its its time

[@dannymalt]

I’m debating it. I’ve already picked out my next series to keep me busy for another month or two, but I’m going to start reading some Hellboy, and maybe I can do a few volumes eventually. How much Hellboy have you read?

[@ForgivenessOfGodSeeker]

​@@dannymalt No, please. Do (the question 1987)

[@Torrance-du2tg]

​@@dannymalthey I just wanted you to know your videos are amazing and extremely underrated

[@Imantyk]

@@dannymalt i think hellboy is good idea! I saw only couple of issues

[@myninja1]

some HB would be dope! haven't seen it much on any other channels

[@PfefferD12]

Thanks!

[@osyrisRae]

I literally sat here the whole hr plus loving this. This was an amazing story. Thanks for sharing Danny.

Tony made his son after Rhody Wow that's Cute

[@Sam-pf9pu]

This was a fantastic video! Felt like watching a movie. Thanks for putting it together

here we gooooo, to end the weekend off

[@bencera6067]

Conan! More Conan please 😅

[@lionkingquan]

Ba ba ba banger !! Love you Danny your now my favorite comic tuber

[@andreholder6011]

Great story. However, I don't like that the Hulk can be killed by being submerged in the ocean; and Thor can breathe underwater?

[@derekharris4922]

Rember,. The Hulk wanted to die.

[@doomguydemonkiller]

Here’s another story that you could maybe cover in one video, Peter David’s Hulk: The End. A possible story that could pull at the heart strings, but I could understand how the ending could be weird. Great video as always and look forward to what’s next!

[@dannymalt]

Peter David Hulk is something I've been wanting to read for my personal reading, but I know his run was so long. But would love to cover it one day.

[@robertfalcone3025]

​@@dannymaltI read it first time around & believe me you won't regret putting the time in to read it.. hopefully you can find a section to adapt to a video 👑

[@P8nplays]

Great video. Always enjoy your vids you deserve all the views man you are my go to like comics explained for more indie and less mainstream comics that have very compelling stories!

[@user-ld3fz6ib4e]

It was a very good read what we going to do with a little bit more Conan😅

[@CrakaBakBlak]

Hopefully, you can fill the Comicstorian void. This was good.

[@Vindicta3127]

I loved this story! They should definitely expand on this universe!

[@spacemanspiralcatzero]

I thought Earth X was basically marvel’s Kingdom Come, although I definitely see the parallels in this series.

[@robertfalcone3025]

Earth X was WAY too depressing IMO..I enjoyed it at the time but rereading it recently made me realize how HARD the writer tried to make it EXTRA dark..

[@spacemanspiralcatzero]

@@robertfalcone3025 I usually like the extra dark ones myself.

[@mamba_kekw]

this is good stuff thanks danny

[@beowulfmacbethson9675]

Great series. It's DKR in terms of setting/execution but still KC in message. I'm scratching my head a bit on Tony and Janet being a thing though. It's funny how Red Skull called Thor an Aryan prince, and lastly I guess my biggest complaint is how this story could have used some more issues. Additional notes: I do like Loki's little development. Now that you mention it, the Wasp ring plot was definitely rushed and contrived, it could have been set up and explained better, and lastly I'm a bit disappointed with the use of Hulk in this comic. The entire comic Hulk is set up as this big threat, the main weapon of the Ultron enhanced villains, Red Skull even says Hulk is the main reason for why it's called H-Day. Only for Thor to solo Hulk. Now it does make sense that Thor can solo The Hulk, it wouldn't be the first time, but for the story's sake it just didn't work and feels more like another example of the story just being too big for six issues. Also Thor killing Hulk via drowning just doesn't stick right with me. I'm cool with clean and unbloody kills but surely there was a clean kill better than just drowning Hulk.

[@aryanak1234]

Great upload as usual Danny!

[@joshprime8568]

Excellent story well done recap

[@tompilkington8708]

Man, I love a happy ending.

[@NRTSean]

Thank you. Loved it.

[@shindig9000]

I am pretty surprised how good this was. Everything lined up pretty good, of course besides the things you mention at the end 😂

[@CactusJackIV]

Been reading this, it’s amazaballz, can’t wait for the breakdown.

[@SnakeRoadComicsOfficial3677]

That was fantastic. I got two suggestions; a one off and one with a few volumes: Gear by Doug TenNapel and Blacksad by Juan Díaz Canales

[@sylvesterphoenix007]

This story was amazing was done reading it like a week ago.

[@williammcdonough4701]

I think they were very inspired by kingdom come and the dark Knight returns. All the heroes being older or dead. A very thin line between evil and good. Captain America is the Batman of this story coming out of retirement to kick some ass

[@Watch-0w1]

U mean superman. They story e it is way too simple. It's basically saying fascist is bad. And they already made a story saying that with hydra Capt america

[@ceddo2218]

Good story from beginning to end

I'm number 11 on likes 51 on views 4 minutes ago I've been waiting over an hour Happy Father's Day to all the fathers I've been a huge fan of yours for quite some time rip Benny now that he's gone as far as a similar style you'll have to carry the torch I was wondering if you would ever be interested in doing killadelphia since you did American vampire that's kind of what I jumped on if not consider doing house and powers of x age of Apocalypse spawn Astro City

[@dannytarver4533]

I think the Earth-X series was MARVEL'S version of KINGDOM COME. This is a great story though

[@daviddiaz529]

Looks like some elements of New Avengers were used.

Will you do a review of the new season of the boys?

Ngl the story is good but comparing it to kingdom come really hurts it imo

Thanks, Danny. You rule!!!

[@vontheunknown7982]

Hello, I am here to talk about Valiant universe. Another superheroes/villains world having their own comics. It deserves more attention. They have many characters like Bloodshot, Ninjak and others.

[@larrylambert9025]

Is this the basis of what The Nomad movie will be

[@Daxten11]

Can you do all star western dc new 52 ?

[@Corrooo]

You should do From Hell by Alan Moore

I don't care what universe it is, anytime Peter Parker dies just twinge my heat

[@Watch-0w1]

Wasp left his kid be a orphan :/

[@robertovaldivia1573]

Woah a Marvel event where the heroes were killed off I wonder who... And Spider-man died first...

[@ashleybanks-wm4cg]

Sir this is not Marvel version of Kingdom Come Marvel did that story first and the painter/writer on that was contracted by DC to do Kingdom Come to compete Marvels is called Earth X and Paradise X its a two oart series and its better than Kingdom Come wow anybody can go around and call themselves a comic book expert now and make a youtube not knowing what they're talking about

[@dannymalt]

It’s a book that is set in the future of the Marvel universe featuring old heroes, comparable to how Kingdom Come or Dark Knight Returns is set in the future of the DCU. That’s all I’m saying. But yes there is Earth X too. It’s just a comparable to get people to watch who have no idea WTF Avengers Twilight is about.

[@ashleybanks-wm4cg]

@@dannymalt oh i understand that sorry for the insults 😫I didn't even realize I was doing that I'm.so.pasdionate about Comics

[@KtownMisfit1975]

This story could take place now. Old Cap would be fighting against the biggest comic book villain ever, Trump.

[@williamj.dovejr.8613]

Bring Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth for a live adaptation of this story...and don't woke it up!

[@TorridPrime217]

Not very good. The pacing is rushed, the social commentary feels at least a decade behind, at least in how its discussed within the comic, and it feels like there's some kind of political messaging within, but I can't decipher what it is. Like, what is it trying to say with Red Skull, aka, the Saturday-morning cartoon nazi expe? It feel like it leans both ways, but isn't really sure what its trying to say. Not to mention, it just has nowhere the scope and scale that 'Kingdom Come' had

[@yeez13]

So basically…just a story without explicit messaging that’s fun and ends on a good note? I don’t know about you, but that’s something we’re sorely missing these days 🤷🏽‍♂️ Chip Zdarsky is usually great at stories where the messaging is light and the action/characters are well written

[@TorridPrime217]

@@yeez13 But it isn't very fun, it's rather grim with a large scale that still feels way too small, and plot points that don't add up. Plus; why have political themes at all if they aren't going to be explored more clearly? It's too distracting and overall disappointing

[@zeezerzam]

Looks like "liberals" took over the world😂
