Last night we hit you up with the first round of The Avengers on DVD from the folks out at Disney, who sent over a copy. Now we’re following that up with the second volume, which again Disney sent over, and it probably won’t surprise anyone to discover that this volume is as big and impressive as the first one was.

The Avengers Volume 2 picks up where the previous volume left off, and in the interests of not spoilering, I’ll tell you that things got pretty nasty  at the end of the previous volume, and now, the Avengers (who have now teamed up) have their work cut out for them. In fact, they’re hunting down a whole load of supervillains. Not only that, they’re also getting a whole lot of troubles from their past to boot.

You’ll still get plenty of action here, though comic book purists again may be dissatisfied with the whole “schizophrenic Hulk” thing, as well as the sheer amount of angst that big green boy can generate. But for those upset by the Hulk’s posture in this series, you’ll be happy to know he actually doesn’t get a lot of face time in this particular volume.

Excitement is still clearly the name of the game, as once again you’ll get nearly three hours of episodes in the DVD set, and there will be loads of supervillains getting fought, things blowing up, and plenty of that fine action to go around. The difference, though, between the first and second volumes is that the second volume will be a lot more coherent than the first. The first set things up, and thus did a lot of jumping around in terms of locations. The second volume has things well established, and is actually just a bit better than the first one was.

I’m definitely surprised by the quality on this one. They could have just phoned this one in like nobody’s business, but there’s actually steady improvement over the course of the episodes. It’s definitely got me interested in season two, that’s for sure, and that may well be the highest praise I can give this concept.

The Screenhead Ten Scale gives The Avengers Volume 2 a second ten out of ten for being every inch as worth watching as the previous installment. This is some fine stuff here from the folks out at Disney, and if you’re not already watching it and you’re any kind of comic book fan, then you’ll definitely want to catch this fine animated adaptation of Marvel property.
