Comic Crusaders - Shawn Warner
Aug 27, 2018Overall I love how Aaron uses the entire team to reach the resolution of this first arc. The narrative is paced at light speed so the plot unfolds quickly. There is not a single wasted panel as the team establishes themselves as suitable defenders of humanity and they do this while under fire from gigantic celestial beings. The Avengers team roster is versatile and fresh representing the diversity present in the Marvel Universe extremely well. If it's not already on your pull list definitely add it, you won't want to miss a single issue of this one. 5/5 Read Full Review

Aug 23, 2018AVENGERS #6 delivers an epic finale to what has been an utterly epic first arc. Between Jason Aaron's dynamic storytelling and Ed McGuinness and Paco Medina's stellar pages, AVENGERS #6 completely succeeds as both a solo issue and a conclusion to a full arc. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - B.K. Derbidge
Aug 31, 2018Marvels cosmic scope has been successfully showcased in their flagship title (mission accomplished!). This arc has truly been a preview of not only re-establishing the Avengers as a team but also to show how big Marvel is willing to go with this title. Read Full Review

The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally
Aug 22, 2018Jason Aaron delivers an exciting conclusion to the final host storyline. He manages to deliver enough information throughout the issue to move the story forward while also keeping the reader in suspense almost up to the last possible moment. Read Full Review

On Comics Ground - Marcus Freeman
Aug 24, 2018The Avengers battle with The Final Host continues with the fate of the world at stake. The Avengers exhaust all of their resources to stop the Horde and Dark Celestials and it still may not be enough. This is high concept sci-fi with abstract characters like Ghost Rider getting a lot of the shine. Jason Aaron's complex but enjoyable story with strong art from Ed McGuinness and Paco Medina make this a captivating read. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
Aug 22, 2018The "fresh start" Avengers have established themselves as a team that is epic in scale and surprising in their approach. The lineup is a mix up of sorts thanks to Ghost Rider and, shockingly, he comes out of this series even better than ever. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
Aug 23, 2018Avengers #6 was a highly enjoyable ending to Jason Aaron's first story arc in this series. Aaron delivered a story that felt like a big event that had major consequences for how fans will view the Marvel Universe moving forward. And with how Aaron concluded this Dark Celestials story arc he has left us with a lot to be excited for as he gets deeper into his plans for the Avengers. Read Full Review

Bleeding Cool - Joshua Davison
Aug 23, 2018Avengers #6 isnt all that it could be, but I would be lying if I said that much of it wasnt still a ton of fun. We get to see the Avengers come together and fight the gods that wrought them, and they do so in a truly mighty fashion. This one earns a recommendation. Check it out. Read Full Review

SciFiPulse - Patrick Hayes
Sep 06, 2018The concluding chapter in this saga is a bit of cheat with something important missing and the art not as clear as in previous installments. Still, there's fun to be had in the dialogue and there are some effective panels. I just expected better for such a great build. Read Full Review

Aug 22, 2018Avengers #6 finally brought the Final Host saga to an end, but its conclusion is so muddled and messy that I almost feel more joy that the arc is over than contentment for having read it at all. Read Full Review

Newsarama - Matthew Sibley
Aug 23, 2018The far-reaching allusions don't mean anything yet, but promise this will all eventually build into something. Hopefully that something is more satisfying than this first arc, which never truly came together even after the team itself had gone through the requisite assembling. Read Full Review

Great ending-arc issue, but have so much things happening and the outcome was rushed. Medina's art was great, but McGuinness's was below expected.

Fun and action packed ending to the Final Host arc, which got a bit convoluted here and there, but still managed to deliver a satisfying conclusion.

The story got too big and while the last issue was great, this finale was rushed and kinda not satisfactory. Aaron had a good idea that took way too long to explain and was hurried at the end. It's still a good book with great art. McGuiness is good as usual and i'm glad Medina is here to make it mesh without being too jarring of a transition. Medina is doing a fine job here!! Also Morales and Vlasco's inks looked tight. Curiel's colors looked beautiful and it helped that he colored the whole issue.

I didn't enjoy the first 2 issues of this series as they were just average and then issues 3-5 were really solid so it's a bit of letdown that this final showdown felt a bit rushed. The artwork was really good as always
-
6.5
Quite a letdown after a few great issues. As I've expected, the final fight was very rushed, without any space for some of the characters. This book has been a very hit or miss so far, and I really really hope it can recover.

6.5
Well, this was a nice conclusion. A bit of a sudden shift in the battle, but I going to let that slide. And I really like the idea of life on Earth, with all its potential for weird things, originating from a dying space god. It's a good explanation, that fits the universe and actually makes a lot of sense. The thing I can't let slide though, is that this book is trying to emulate MCU movies far too much. The more jokey once at least. With practically every character quipping and spewing jokes every second or third line of dialogue. I'm just not a fan of situations where adaptation affects its source material in a way that the source is trying to be more like its adaptation.

For someone who loved this arc, this was a let down. There were some really cool parts but, overall it felt very corny. It's the end of the world and Tony is still cracking jokes (some terrible ones at that) and the way they figured out how to defeat the celestials was just really corny to me. To me it was just cheesy and for someone who wrote things like God Butcher and Unworthy Thor this was just not what it should have been.

5.5
The final battle was so big it was difficult for the artwork to convey the scope of it all, and many panels required narration to explain just what you were looking at
-
5.5
Very very very bad ending to an otherwise great opening arc for this series. The solution for fighting the dark celestials you ask? Well Thor and She Hulk eat ice and grow celestial size and Tony Stark presses a button and gets an enormous celestial size suit from Mars while Ghost Rider replaces his 69 Charger with a dead celestial body. It. was. awful. Over climatic doesn't even begin to describe the second half of this issue. Robbie is still making terrible jokes. More retcons reveal that the Avengers are a pathogen for a 4-billion year old bug disease called the Horde. Seriously, this issue is pathetic.

Seriously, is this what passes for graphic story telling?

The story is all over the place, the dialogue is too movie-quippy, Kirby's entire Celestial/Eternal mythology has been uprooted in favor of a giant robot punch-up, and having 1,000,000 BC versions of most of that team makes no goddamn sense at all. Why not just go all-out and have a "Captain America of 1,000,000 BC", inspiring cavemen with speeches about the Stars and Stripes? Jeezus.

The Avengers spend half the issue kaiju-fighting. Then they sweep all the extant plot coupons into a blender to create a "hippie-ish and kumbaya" "power of friendship" victory. Individual panels of the art are very nice, but many aren't, and the layouts are often nonsensical. The writer recognizes the fundamental disappointment of the story as written and desperately tries to polish the turd with hundreds of words of counter-productive "no, really, this is epic, we swear" language. After reading this, I'm not sure whether the arc is over or not, but I don't really care. That CANNOT be the feeling the creators were aiming for. This issue assassinates the characters of many, possibly most, of its cast members. I'm wearing my Carol Corp more

Look at the panels on this book and tell me what is happening. Read the speech bubbles and tell me you don't cringe. Just nonsense.

What a disappointment this issue was I really disliked the dialogue for every character the rushed story was just stupid and made no sense. Jason Aaron tried to write it to seem important but it felt so easy and un important. I have a subscription for this book that i may cancel after this issue.

2.5
THE GOOD -The first page was a good, very original intro to the issue. I liked that they continued its themes all throughout the issue. And it bookmarks the issue well at the end. -Art was fine. Not good, not bad, but I'll put it here to even out the tables a bit. THE BAD -What are these characters?! Or should I say lack there of. These people who happen to where costumes and bear names we recognize are little more than hollow mannequins used to fight the villains and progress the story forward, but they don't make it interesting while doing it. -Falls prey to the "having a casual conversation whilst in battle" cliche. Sigh. -Has a very tropey, very unoriginal "Avengers Assemble" montage. -Ghost Rider deserves his own more
