I'm definitely curious to see how Waid wraps up the story of Avenger X and sets up her return in his other Avengers series – something that was hinted at in Avengers #1. It'd definitely be cool if Kitson returned to handle the art duties on that eventual arc! But we'll see. Read Full Review

Any Silver Age fan will get taken back to the best age of comics with these amazing .1 issues. They are the only reason I’m reading this series because the Kang War story isn’t that good
The Avengers finally figure out Cressida isn't their friend. Is it too late to save themselves? The potential of this throwback series pays off in a big way as Cap stages a grudge match with the Frightful Four to keep his team from falling apart. The action is exciting, the art is beautiful, and the characterization is great. Not only does Mark Waid recreate what these heroes were like in 1965, he also shows us the fascinating interplay that's made them worth following for decades.
