A-Force #3

I am fast becoming a fan of G. Willow Wilson and Marguerite Bennett. Read Full Review

A-Force #3 is a can't miss issue. This series has been extremely fun and this was the best issue to date. Read Full Review

A-Force #3 makes for a fun andshocking(sorry!) read, with big developments that further the story while remaining entertaining on their own. The storytelling and art are spot-on and the creative team continues to give us a taste of what is in store after the reboot. This promises to be a great ride! Read Full Review

A-Force #3 is where the series drama ramps up. With the defenders of Arcadia facing down the wrath of God, She Hulk shows why she's the leader of this team. Bennett and Wilson create a compelling drama that never loses drama, but it's the art that makes this enterprise. Molina, Yeung, and Martin are a stunning team that creates a rich and vibrant issue. Molina is slated as the artist for when A-Force leaves Secret Wars but I'm really hoping the rest of the team stays on, they're a knock out. Read Full Review

A-Force's only real issue is that it's been dragged down by Secret Wars. When it's free of the shackles of this Marvel Event, it might just become one of the best titles Marvel has to offer. Read Full Review

A-Force continues to be one of the best tie-in books to Secret Wars, and a concept that clearly has life beyond this event. Read Full Review

Bennett and Wilson clearly have big plans for She-Hulk and the A-Force team, and A-Force #3 marks the first time the title feels like it might be a must-read for understanding the final fate of Battleworld at the end of Secret Wars. Read Full Review

Overall, A-Force #3 is a powerhouse of an issue, winding up its fist to sock the reader in the gut and then keep pushing. The writing is tight, with instances of serious meaning and lighthearted joy alike. The art is once again gorgeous, but really delivers in its clarity and variation in panel structure and use of open space. I have my reservations about the decision to kill Medusa, but I can only hope that future issues prove these reservations wrong. Read Full Review

There's still a lot of potential here, we just need a bit more event book freedom to see it realized. Read Full Review

Though I'm still enjoying A-Force a good deal I'm also at that stage where it's feeling like this part of the act is weak as there are so few answers still. The action component of it is good and there's some good emotional moments as well as it hits the right beats but there's too many unknowns. Read Full Review

Altogether, "A-Force" still has a lot going for it, but the pacing is compounding the problems of its large cast. Luckily, issue #3 takes many of the necessary steps for ramping the pace back up, and I'm optimistic for issue #4. Read Full Review

Perhaps it's just the weird Battleworld rules that make this series so disjointed. It has a great cast, it just needs to figure out what to do with them. Read Full Review

The whole gang is back, but we don't get to spend enough time with all of their awesome lives because we're too concerned about tying everything into the plot of SECRET WARS. Read Full Review

The point tally is starting to stack up against this series, as too many plotting and artistic errors are making this comic too messy for its own good. It's enjoyable for some pretty art, and everyone loves the number of Easter Eggy-cameos, but the narrative through-line is too jumbled and the sequential art is too uneven that it feels below the basic expectations of a high-profile comicbook.

The story is naturally progressing. And you know it's going somewhere good. The art of Molina is good nothing to write home to mama about. This is just an issue that leads into bigger and hopefully better things.

Unlike the previous two issues, this one has some glaring technical errors: She-Hulk concludes that a traitor is creating the portals based on.... What? The colours as she goes through the portal? She-Hulk is an expert in magic portals now? And what the hell is going on with Medusa? First she face plants She-Hulk and then on the next page she's defending her from the Thors? Is this Medusa having mood swings or something? It is extremely jarring and confusing and there are other action sections that feel like they are missing a panel as well. Also, why are two out of the three Thors using hammers in the first half of this issue, then swords in the second half? It's difficult to enjoy a confusing comic like this, it feels like it was rushed a nd never reviewed by an editor before publication. more
