U.S.Avengers #7

Witty and action-packed, U.S. Avengers #7 knows the relationships between its cast are the main draw, and thrusts the heroes into high-stakes combat to maximize the entertainment value. Read Full Review

Overall, not a great showing story wise for the U.S.Avengers. I do understand this is a tie in series, and not every issue is going to be explosive, but I am a little disappointed in Ewing's efforts here. I've really been enjoying his work lately, but this stumble really surprised me. I did enjoy seeing the Champions of Europe, as I was wondering what happened to these characters after Contest of Champions, but it was the only bright spot for me. As I said, I didn't totally hate this issue but I wasn't overjoyed by it either. Great art to look at it, but the story unfortunately felt a little weak. Read Full Review

Half the team falls into Hydra's clutches while Enigma and Squirrel Girl get sent to Paris for a team-up with the Champions of Europe. This issue offers some gorgeous visuals; this is one book where I *really* don't want to see the art team broken up. It's Al Ewing's script that is holding the book back from total greatness this month. That's not because of any particular flaws; this is simply such a connective episode - more than anything, a status update on every team member - that it doesn't have space for any real triumphs. There are a lot of cute connections to his other work: Two of the Troubleshooters from his Ultimates are stuck in Hydra jail and most of the cast from his under-appreciated Contest of Champions are positioned to play a big role in this story going forward. more
