Nov 01, 2011Tom Raney's artwork is dynamic, exciting, and entertaining. There's virtually nothing to complain about here. It's an incredible comic book, and I hope I get to read it with Christos Gage in the driver's seat for years to come. Read Full Review

Nov 02, 2011Even if it is doing it quietly, it's hard to deny the fact that Avengers Academy has always had the perfect combination of story and art to elevate it above the other Avengers titles out there today. Read Full Review

Oct 26, 2011Tom Raney's art is also a bit underwhelming. It carries a rushed quality through many pages, with a team shot on page 7 looking particularly loose and wonky. As nice as it's been to have this series ship so often this year, a more methodical schedule might not be such a bad thing right now. Read Full Review

Oct 28, 2011I've read numerous similarly-themed team books, and they're always decent time wasters as long as the art's good. Avengers Academy is no exception. Tom Raney and Scott Hanna wring every emotion out of this melodrama. Veil goes through so many facial expressions that you might think Bill Plympton was behind the whole scheme. Read Full Review

Comic Vine - Matt Demers
Oct 26, 2011One of the first comics I ever read was a West Coast Avengers issue, and I couldn't help but think about how hokey it sounded; it took a good concept like the Avengers and just said "Yeah, we're in a new setting! That's cool, right?" Read Full Review

Justice and Speedball quoting felt natural, which is a compliment to Gage. Veil quitting also felt natural as she accepts Jeremy's offer which was offered in issue 14.1. The Academy moves in to the Old West Coast Avengers HQ, which is good because we are finally moving on from the horrible monstrosity which was Dan Slott's Mighty Avengers. My only problem is that we are getting new students, who, with the exception of White Tiger, look bland, annoying, and uninteresting
