Avengers Forever #14

It's hard to show us a battlefield sequence in a comic book, but this issue pulls it off really well, with quite a few truly impressive moments. Read Full Review

Avengers Forever #14 makes for a solid romp overall, and following the exploits of this specific Steve Rogers variant does provide a nice change of pace, but after several issues of non-stop fighting, the fun is admittedly beginning to wane. Read Full Review

As an assortment of superheroes take on an army of Doctor Dooms, Avengers Forever #14, decides that expanding the size of the threat can make up for a stretch-out storyline. This feels that an issue that simply sets up the threat to be played out in the next instalment rather than an issue that adds much to an otherwise enjoyable saga from Jason Aaron and Jim Towe.

Avengers Forever #14 shows the big clash between the armies of Avengers and Dooms. The artwork is good and the comic goes for a more chaotic battle but the comic fails to deliver on some of the things it brings to the table, like Doom The Living Planet who doesn't do much in the comic. However, it does make one character, an alt. version of Steve Rogers feel like a compelling character to follow throughout all of the pandemonium. Judging by the ending of this issue, the next chapter of this story will be taking things up a notch. Read Full Review

While the emotional beats don't land and there's no substance to speak of, there remains a visceral degree of fun in seeing the toy chest dumped across the living room floor before it's swept away in a few months. Read Full Review

Is there a Thanos Snap that gets rid of bad books? That may seem harsh, but less is definitely more, and we need less of all of this! Read Full Review

This series has been very hit-or-miss for me so far. This latest crossover storyline with the main Avengers title has been kind of "whatever." I enjoyed the letter from one of the Steve's this issue, but there hasn't been enough build for that character to really make me care. Yes, I feel for him and his situation, but, to my knowledge, this is the first issue we've really met him. The same goes for the other Steve and his moment with the Mjolnir. On the other hand, the action in this book was solid and I enjoyed seeing the characters trying to take down the literal Planet Doom. Aaron's Avengers run is something I've really enjoyed since the start, so I hope he can bring everything together into a good conclusion.

Nerd Steve was also the PoV character back in #7 (and Fat Steve was there, too). But I think your point stands: These characters are too unfamiliar for their dramatics here to land with full impact.

As the Big Dumb Fightâ„¢ rolls on, still hard to care about, the creators invest a lot of effort in personalizing things with a tragic loss on the battlefield. The art has its moments of excellence, the prose is deadly earnest, and together they create some memorable moments. But the grab for the reader's heartstrings is so obviously artificial (and simplistic) that it's self-defeating. Saltier take: This hypothetically-epic battle is built by taking some Avengers Endgame and mixing it up with some Return of the King and a dash of Revenge of the Sith.

Well darn I love the avengers and really liked most of Aaron's run but this last story is just a complete miss for me. I often say I can't wait for the next chapter when reviewing books but unfortunately on this one I just can't wait for this storyline to end so I can look forward to avengers books again. As always when a book doesn't work for me I hope others enjoy this book more than I did
