Avengers #4

Thor and She-Hulk search for a weapon to defeat the Celestials, while other characters are in their own unique dangers. Great action and suspense as the mystery of the ancient Celestials continues to be revealed. The visuals are worthy of this epic tale. An excellent super hero book. Read Full Review

A strong fourth chapter builds on what came before. Read Full Review

I touched on it but I can't stress how beautiful this book is, visually. Ed McGuinness and his creative team have tapped into a style that is heroically colorful and expertly detailed. This is slowly but almost surely growing into my favorite Marvel book. Kudos, team. Read Full Review

AVENGERS #4 is another installment dealing with the Celestials. While the plot has a lot going on, the characterization and artwork in this issue are quite strong. Jason Aaron and Ed McGuinness clearly put a lot of heart into this comic book. Read Full Review

If I'm left to overthink, I get lost and confused. But, the art was pretty good, and the story is creative and exciting. I genuinely think something big is about to happen. I just need some guidance more than anything. Read Full Review

Jason Aaron did well to split the Avengers up with this issue, as he finally got the chance to highlight the character work that makes his writing so special. Read Full Review

There is some great writing in this issue that sees secrets revealed and others hidden as the Avengers break off in teams to find a way to stop the Final Host. Read Full Review

Doctor Strange art by Steve DitkoAs I write this, it recently came over the wire thatSteve Ditko,renowned creator of Doctor Strange and Spider-Man, has passed away. It saddens me to hear that another comic book legend is no longer with us. Admittedly, I don't know as much about the late Mr. Ditko as I should given my profession, but I'm learning more about him every minute. He truly was a different kind of person and deserving of honor and respect given to him as a creator and a person. He will be missed. Read Full Review

With some funny, if not unusual and short, character moments from the team, Avengers #4 moves the story forward with an interesting narrative and good art. Read Full Review

Avengers #4 is a breezy read and I'm interested to see where it next goes. Read Full Review

Avengers is focusing way too much on retcons to ancient history when it could be focusing on interesting characters telling an interesting story. Read Full Review

This was probably my favorite issue yet. Lots of big ideas on the creation of supers in the MU, but with good character moments and solid action. Also noticed that despite a number of splash pages, this one didn’t read in five minutes - it felt meaty. Enjoying this run a lot so far!

This issue does a much better job than the last two and brings back the story on track. More coherent story telling by Aaron that does a better job juggling the moving parts and characters while delivering answers in much better way than before. I actually enjoyed this one a lot. Very little McGuiness but Medina picks it up nicely and delivers his best work in sometime. Vlasko and Morales do a nice job inking while Curiel's colors tie it all and make those scenes pop!

We get a bit more backstory on the 1,000,000 BC Avengers and a continuous escalation of stake. This has been a joy to read.

This is all fine, nothing funny to say here.

Finally, here we go. This is what I was expecting from this book. Deep lore, great action and well-done humour. The issue is quite wordy, but it's very interesting to read. McGuinness art is great as always. On another note, this is the issue that probably had the least amount of Loki so far - I wonder if that has any connection to the score.

Jason Aaron and Ed McGuinness are a great team. First and foremost this is a book with great art and pacing. Avengers was a book that Marvel needed to get right because there just wasn't enough consistency and it didn't feel like the book that lead the entire Marvel Universe. If readers were going to read one book and know what is going on throughout the Marvel universe it is supposed to be Avengers and Aaron and McGuinness capture.that. The book is high stakes with a threat that is large enough to be Avengers level. The action is there along with the mystery. I really look forward to knowing the next part of the story that happens and I don't want to wait for the trade or for this to be on Marvel Unlimited. The voices of the team are captu red and Aaron is writing and leaving room to grow the relationships on this team. I especially and enjoying She-Hulk. I have been really surprised at how much I am enjoying both flagship Team books from DC and Marvel. Pick it up more

I kind of came into this issue thinking this series has been kind of a disappointment so far, but I ended up really enjoying this one. I still don't know when Jen Walters turned into a traditional Banner-type Hulk, but it's not really annoying me any more--the moment she breathes/kisses life into Thor was cool. I just was pretty captivated from the start to the finish. The art was pretty solid--I liked it, though in some panels I wasn't exactly sure what I was looking at. Overall, I like the cast, this story is getting more interesting, so ... I'm on board of this thing.

Good issue. Aaron is doing great and his writing is good so far,

This series, and issue in particular, tends to focus heavily on weird retcons to the origins of humanity rather than action or team building. Though the art is still great and overall series is still pretty good their is definitely room for improvement. Wish we got more time with the prehistoric Avengers. Not a fan of Aaron’s characterization of Robbie as well

Superheroes for Hire

The art is much more restrained and serviceable in this issue. And the action keeps a better pace with plot developments. Dialog was scaled back to let the action and characters breathe a bit better, but the rapid expansion of mythos causes more exposition than usual. And what are we supposed to make of the Eternals all being dead now? Seems kind of cheap to die off screen.

Small Avengers teams make small gains in the struggle to understand the Dark Celestial threat. Odin and Loki tell contradictory myths about the DCs' origins, which is good characterization but confusing storytelling. Once again, I like a lot of the individual scenes, but the core story around which they orbit doesn't engage me the way I want it to. The visuals stick mostly to the title's high standards, but there are a few troubling weak spots and not a lot of stand-out points to offset them.
