Dark Avengers #2
This volume collects the second story arc of the 2010 Dark Avengers series, focusing on the team's confrontation with the reality-altering villain Molecule Man. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by Mike Deodato, the story sees Norman Osborn's dark version of the Avengers—including the Sentry, Ares, and Mac Gargan as Spider-Man—struggling to contain a threat that could unravel existence itself. The collection also delves into the fractured dynamics within the team as Osborn's grip on power begins to slip.
In Dark Avengers #2 (2010), Victoria’s desperate gamble with the Molecule Man unleashes a storm of chaos as Norman Osborn is pulled back from oblivion. With the town of Dinosaur, Colorado in ruins, the Sentry regains his footing and unleashes a shocking power that surpasses even the Molecule Man’s control over matter. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by Mike Deodato Jr. and Greg Horn, with covers by Mike Deodato Jr., this issue delivers a tense, high-stakes showdown where sanity hangs by a thread and Loki’s shadow looms over a fractured Norman Osborn.
In "null," Ares tracks his son as he trains with Fury's Secret Warriors, leading to a tense standoff with Fury that forces the god of war to make a quiet, unexpected choice. Meanwhile, a sudden, shocking moment reveals a fracture in the Sentry’s world—his wife, in a single, devastating act, turns on him.
In the swamps of Louisiana, the Dark Avengers take down the Man-Thing, but their victory is short-lived. When the daughter of the Secretary of State vanishes in the remote town of Dinosaur, Colorado, Norman Osborn’s team is sent to investigate—only to vanish without a trace.
In the eerie, shifting realm of the Molecule Man, Norman Osborn and his Dark Avengers face a trial unlike any other, tested by a being whose power rivals the very fabric of reality. With Reed Richards looming as a potential threat, the fate of the team—and the world—hangs in the balance as Victoria Hand makes a startling choice from the shadows of the helicarrier.
In "null," Victoria surrenders to the Molecule Man, who brings Norman Osborn back from oblivion. Sentry, struggling with his fractured mind, regains control and discovers he can manipulate molecules even more powerfully than the Molecule Man. As he restores the town of Dinosaur, Colorado, to its former state, he banishes Owen—only to face a new threat as Norman, teetering on the edge of madness, receives a visit from Loki.
