Karami creates some interesting art throughout the issue. There are some great visual moments, but some of the physical movements of the characters looked odd. Read Full Review

Avengers #29 pays off two years' worth of buildup, and forges a connection to a major Marvel storyline in the process. Now that the Missing Moment has been revealed, the quest is on and hopefully MacKay can keep up the major momentum he's launched in this issue. Read Full Review

Avengers #29 returns its focus to its longest-running plotline, offering major revelations concerning Myrddin and his goals, while bringing the fan-favorite Mr. Fantastic into the mix. Read Full Review

Avengers #29 answers the questions of what the Grail really is and how it came to be. And what Reed Richards' connection to it is. Mileage will vary on the reception to the answers. Sadly, the comic really is just exposition dump, and aside from a warmhearted interaction and callback between Reed and TChalla, thats about it in the emotion and character departments. Also, Myrddin wraps things up with his Twilight Court, but since we hardly knew them their departure from the plot feels uneventful. Read Full Review

Plot This comic defines the mysterious MISSING MOMENT, the key to understanding these 28 issues of this powerful saga that only improves with each installment. It's a must-read and a perfect starting point for what's to come, because it explains everything magnificently. Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Captain America, and Black Panther meet with Reed Richards to explain the journey they've been on since the day Kang asked them to help him obtain the mysterious lost second, whose contents no time traveler knows. On the other hand, they show the mysterious sorcerer Myrddin, who assembles his team of powerful beings, which he created based on King Arthur's Round Table, but are actually copies of the Avengers, because h e wanted to recreate what the Avengers did once he obtained this Grail, the MISSING MOMENT. The Avengers hoped to continue defeating the mysterious Tribulation Moments, having already overcome two: the fight against the powerful Ashen Combine that allowed them to establish the Impossible City as a base, and the Blood Hunt event. But they still had three more events to go, but something changed everything. Myrddin blew up Grandmaster's Space Casino to activate a rift in time, which is the Grail he seeks. The MISSING MOMENT is a rift in reality that allows one to cross dimensions and create new ones, but to create a new one, one must destroy the previous one to use all that energy. Reed doesn't understand why he's being linked to this Grail. What's happening is that the MISSING MOMENT was created by Reed in the Secret Wars event. After recreating the universe from scratch by separating Battleworld, he left a mystery open to motivate himself to move forward. Reed believes this mistake on his part is actually his overflowing ego. The Avengers offer him their alliance to solve this problem. Myrddin arrives in Grandmaster's presence and presents him with his entire Twilight Court team as payment for destroying his Casino. Grandmaster eliminates them to set an example for Myrddin of what it means to lose something he's worked so hard to create. Now the two are at peace, and Myrddin is ready to seek the Grail. Art With many textures that highlight the impressive details of this illustrator, where the facial expressions are almost lifelike. The color palette works to highlight all those textures. The art is mesmerizing and magnificent. Summary A mind-blowing installment that finally explains the entire mystery of the MISSING MOMENT, this comic summarizes the key moments of 28 issues, making it a perfect starting point for what's to come and a narrative gift for those of us who have read this entire saga. more

This issue is pretty much a non-stop WTF moment for me, since I haven’t read this series from the beginning and not a lot of explanation is given. Anyway, I have read worse from Jed McKay. His writing is usually bad to average, but he’s doing a decent job here. I do like the art. There are some beautiful close-ups, although Karami’s detailed style takes away some of the dynamism and spontaneity needed for a superhero comic. All in all, this is still a bad era for the Avengers, but it’s probably one of the better issues, due to the better than average art.
