Great Lakes Avengers Vol. 3

This volume collects issue #3 of Great Lakes Avengers (2016), written by Zac Gorman and drawn by Will Robson. After settling in Detroit, this team of "second-string Avengers"—perpetually overlooked by the mainstream hero community—finds trouble piling up fast: Mister Immortal returns from the grave and rejoins the team, only for the group to immediately fall to squabbling over who should be leader; meanwhile, city councilman Dick Snerd's ban keeps the Great Lakes Avengers out of the city's action at the very moment the villains are stirring and the team is needed most. The issue also weaves in a flashback: years ago in Milwaukee, a young man who can flatten himself into two dimensions made a living impersonating Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four, until a chance recruitment notice sent him down the crooked path of superheroism—the untold origin of Flatman. The disagreements and private worries of Big Bertha, Doorman, and new member Goodness Silva, the "Good Boy," also unfold across these pages. The whole continues the series' tone of antiheroism, dry humor, and family-style bickering: no cosmic-scale crises, just a bunch of people with third-rate powers who still refuse to disband, earnestly arguing over who gets to sit in the leader's chair.
