If you go in realizing this is not the Black Canary you once knew (in name only) and that she had the Batgirling done to her it is entertaining enough. This is one of the comics that benefits from the whole "history means nothing, it is all about the current story". Decent and serviceable art, a story that is easy to read and basic. Style made for Tumblr and cosplay. DC has another winner.

Gave it an extra point because it is the final issue.
The covers on this series were gorgeous...next time, just do a pin-up series.

This is a book that, while decent, overall has the feeling on one of those "What-If" titles this crossover is churning out. It allows Marvel to continue with the big diversity push yet as many of us have already seen by the FCBD issue, Nova is a character left unchanged (if any actually have a big status shift). I am not sure why they didn't just allow this title to continue with Sam as the lead a This is a book that, while decent, overall has the feeling on one of those "What-If" titles this crossover is churning out.

Hopefully once Secret Wars is all over people start reading the Inhumans (no, I don't think Torch loving Medusa all up will help) but this is an important book, and one of the most episodic titles at Marvel at the moment. It really is like a Game of Thrones type story, and with the mini-reset happening at the moment this is the time to get on board when the reboot begins for the ANMU.

This issue was both enjoyable and disappointing so giving it an honest review is going to be difficult.
On one hand I was expecting a big bombastic battle issue with the Destroyer which, for all intents and purposes was wholly shown in the previews from a month ago. This was the biggest letdown, but it did give me the chance to see Russell and Matt flex their creative muscles.

All the "why's" and conspiracy theories aside, this is the way to end a series when the time comes to put a story to bed.
Great art and a dedicated team that gave reverence and respect to the world they had been given charge to.
Each character having a moment to shine, as well as a small epilogue was a great send-off.

The Good:
This really was a good arc to set into motion Sam earning his wings as the new Captain America. There was enough of a story to set up some main heroes, villains, and give a "birds eye" view to Sam's world.
Of course the art was dramatic and set a wonderful tone that will be hard to match for whomever the incoming artist may be if the title continues past after Secret Wars. >
I appreciated the way that this issue set-up the incoming Secret War series as it lays the groundwork to seamlessly enter that universe and not be the typical AOA-type setting many of them are apparently taking on. It also goes far enough to give a new status quo to a couple of characters in the MU and insight into how Sam feels working with SHEILD. There are a few loose ends, which honestly may never actually get addressed. They are minimal threads to the story and in typical Remender fashion, he may pull them off the shelf in the far future to add to a long-term plan. The main question that hopefully does get answered is which flying Avenger with the female lips in Captain America #25 is working with Hydra.

The Bad:
Not having a solid resolution to the arc, due to the break and the change in the creative team may be detrimental to the overall flow of the narrative. While the Secret Wars series does seem to come directly from the conclusion this may be less of a worry, but that series does not appear to continue Sam's story what-so-ever.
The other thing that stands out, after all is said and done, nothing truly happened. Even the final cliffhanger statement falls flat as we do not know when/if the character that may have some shaky allegiances with the heroes remains following the refresh.
One character may have been changed in a way that will benefit them out in the field, and the one lost is not even grieved for as they know said character is "out there somewhere".

I do like the fact that for someone reading this title they could be done with the title following this iss more

This is how an action comic is done! This and All New Captain America are the only 2 comics from Marvel I buy on day one release now (Thor because of the overall quality and ANCA because of the art).

Decent story, decent art (which is not something I thought I would ever say about Art Adams), he is usually the best around. This is the same as Alan Davis in the upcoming Ultron Unlimited. There is something about the way they are being inked and colored which is hindering the work.

This is one of my favorite Marvel books at the moment. While this current run is much slower than the God of Thunder, it really does keep the same flow and style as the prior volume.
While some decry that Odinson is not the lead Thor in the book, in the last volume he shared the lead with 2 other characters (future, younger) and well as much of the stories were focused on the family and villa This is one of my favorite Marvel books at the moment.

Marvel got their Batgirl. It works for the character, although there is A LOT of talking in the issue. Hopeless writes a pretty good wit for her voice and the new Hawkeye/She-Hulk look and vibe may be a good time for the character.
The art is fine. All in all, a decent issue.
Other than the costume there does not seem to be a "status-altering" shift, per-say as much as a friend who stops Marvel got their Batgirl.

It is the type of comic that when it is around it is enjoyable but once it is late, you (aka I) found myself not missing it and not really excited that the new issue came out.
SS does a great job taking some of the sting away from losing Upchurch, but for me, the art always far outweighed the writing and I am used to Sejic (who is fabulous). Roc brought a fresh design.

The feeling I had when issue 25 arrived carries over into this issue and I hope I am wrong but it feels like this series is starting to lose it's luster. During the second storyline, while the same formula carried from issue to issue...moving plot, angst, funny line, shocking action scene, sex, cliffhanger, the time off between 24 and 25 really deflated the series for me and issue 26 seemed to rea The feeling I had when issue 25 arrived carries over into this issue and I hope I am wrong but it feels like this series is starting to lose it's luster.

This is the panther of the Marvel Universe right now and hopefully Marvel can find a way to promote this to a higher degree as it deserves to be read.
The dual story-telling in the title just works and having two voices really helps flesh out and move the story along without feeling like there are constant exposition or flashback moments.

Personally I enjoy the book but I do think it is somewhat (ok, highly) overrated. The story has meandered for quite a while now, and although "cute", the character has not progressed much since the first arch. The art as always is astounding but for me, Wilson may have run her time as the author and a fresh voice may be needed to move this character forward.

I guess this is a title WAY out of my wheelhouse. I am blown away at the reviews this is getting.
The story is ok, but very juvenile. The art serves the story well but it does seem like it is trying too hard to be "indie" but the character and the speaking seem like they are trying to make her "special" and not in the mutant way.

2 issues in and I think it is safe to say that the concerns over the new creative couple are confirmed.
The story seems more beginner fan-fiction than a thought out storyline, and the guest-stars, and the big spoiler...where did the Wonder Woman from issue 34 go?

With the extended wait between issues, this was a disappointment.
Not much happens to move the book forward in the storyline, but it is appreciated that each member gets a page or 2 as a spotlight.

I am as sad as anyone that this title is ending, but I am glad the controversy seems to be bringing readers in.
The storyline is a little difficult for any non-familiar reader which can lead to some raised eyebrow moments.
Story is deep and thoughtful and everything seems to tie back to a previous event.
The art...this may well be Kirk's moment. He has always been a great artist and I am as sad as anyone that this title is ending, but I am glad the controversy seems to be bringing readers in.
