All-New All-Different Avengers #1 is a great start and probably the best new Avengers series introduced so far. Mark Waid does a terrific job bringing each of these characters to life and getting their personality down perfectly, connects to other stories in the Marvel Universe to his own without it being intrusive, and brings in some good artists to work on the book. While maybe not the most exciting or energetic way to start a superhero team book, I'm more than interested in seeing what this creative team has up their sleeves. Read Full Review

Its a very fun little diversion, with a variety of talented writers and artists coming together to make a cute issue filled with all sorts of entertaining shorts. If youre looking for the latest in the ongoing drama of the Avengers and the Marvel universe, you wont find it here, but if youre looking to be amused and entertained, give it a read.

Overall, All-New All-Different Avengers is a decent start to a franchise that has a solid potential. I'm intrigue what's going to happen next, and can't wait to see the team comes to its own. It's a bit disappointing the book take the familiar formula, but I'm sure something more interesting will come. Read Full Review

This book is something I have been looking forward to for a long time. After reading a preview of ANAD AVENGERS at Free Comic Book Day, I anticipated that the team would be fully formed. This issue is largely set-up for the future, but ultimately enjoyable for what it does offer: Waid's writing is good, the art is fantastic, and while Waid seems to be playing the long game for now, once these Avengers finally come together, this book could easily soar to great heights.

A fun introductory tale, lots of great interaction, and exellent art make for a good start for the most intriguing Avengers lineup in years… Read Full Review

The standard cover by Alex Ross is one of his typically beautiful trademark gatherings of imposing-looking heroes, although not all of them make it inside the issue. Thanks to Waid's careful attention to characterization and both Kubert and Asrar's ability to elicit a range of emotions in readers, "All-New, All-Different Avengers" #1 makes itself out to be the strongest and most enjoyable of the relaunched Avengers titles.

ALL-NEW, ALL-DIFFERENT AVENGERS is a solid team book that feels like it has great potential. It's hard to say that this issue really gives the book an identity, but it does stand out from the two other Avengers-team books we've seen so far (I'm considering ULTIMATES an Avengers book). Both artists really fit a nice role for the stories they tell and once again, Waid delivers something pretty fun, even though these two stories don't really build together or play off each other. I highly recommend you check this one out. Read Full Review

ANAD Avengers #1 was a great start to the series. I hope it fares better for me than past Avengers titles have, but considering Im excited for the next installment, I trust that it will. Theres some excellent interplay between characters and mixing young and older heroes will help change the Avengers mantle, reviving it for a more modern and refreshing taste. Read Full Review

Overall, I enjoyed this book. True, it follows a familiar formula for a team book, but after some of the other books I've reviewed, this was very welcome. Not exactly All-New, All-Different, but I really enjoyed the characters and how they interacted, and I am very excited to see how the rest of this team comes together. I definitely feel that this is the Avengers book to keep an eye on. Read Full Review

It's a start. I was disappointed not to see much of Thor (who has been incredibly badass in her own story!) or Vision yet, but there are only so many pages and bringing all seven characters into one issue may have been a bit much. As I mentioned I feel there was maybe a bit much happening be coincidence in this issue, but with some good writing coincidence can be fine to start a story as long as it isn't used to end a story. I'll give issue two and three a try most likely, it's a fine start. Read Full Review

All-New All-Different Avengers #1 takes the tried and true route to start, and the result is a solid and engaging issue that never quite gets going. Mark Waid shows a clear understanding of his characters and the universe they inhabit, but doesn't give them much to do at the onset. Thus far it's more same-old same-old than all-new all-different, but there's enough here to expect even better yet to come. Read Full Review

My critiques about structure aside, All-New All-Different Avengers #1 is a youthful breath of fresh air for the Avengers line. Mark Waid, Adam Kubert and Sonia Oback along with back-up artists Mahmud Asrar, and Dave McCaig deliver a fast-paced, character-focused debut that is well-aware of the universe that it inhabits, instead of standing apart from it. Though we don't see the full might of this new squad just yet, All-New All-Different Avengers #1 shows that the creative team has a firm handle on the characters separately before they start them playing off each other and fighting the battles that they can't face alone.

Even the ending, a fight that leaves our two most experienced All-New, All-Different Avengers down but not out, feels a little well-worn. When this week also sees the release of inventive and experimental titles like “Illuminati' and ‘Ultimates' that play with the reader's expectations and mix up groups of heroes and villains in truly new, nuanced ways, I can't help but feel this book still has a way to go before it can be counted amongst the best new books Marvel are putting out.

All-New, All-Different Avengers #1 was acceptable, but not phenomenal. As the apparent "lead" Avengers title, I expected a little better from it. It has promise, but cautious readers may want to trade wait the first volume and resume with the monthly when the team is finally established. Read Full Review

All-New All-Different Avengers #1 is a somewhat slow read, focusing on characterization over plot. The back-up story is the superior read, in terms of both story and art. Read Full Review

All-New All-Different Avengers is another re-launch from Marvel. The good news is that its pretty decent and worth a read. Mark Waid doesnt generally disappoint and the art is well done by all involved. Read Full Review

"All-New, All-Different Avengers" #2 is riding on characterization rather than plotting, and -- for the moment -- the characterization is strong enough that it's a good call. Eventually, it will need to find a better balance, but I'm willing to let that slide because this is such an oft-repeated moment of the Avengers re-forming in the face of disaster. For now, it's a pleasant continuation of the series and the tradition. Read Full Review

It's got a very serviceable story somewhere in there, but it's shooting itself in the foot with certain choices, most notable of which is to divide the book in half as if it's an anthology of stories before the team is even fully formed. The art has some hits or misses, and the main villain Warbringer is less significant than a mystery man, but there's not enough time to develop either beyond vagueness and/or clich. We have yet to see the team truly interact beyond just Captain America and Iron Man, so it's difficult to see who the breakout star or the point-of-view character is meant to be. Because the voices are so strong and the interactions are poised to be intriguing, I'll continue to give it a shot, but things will have to feel more cohesive and more meaningful to be worthy of the "Avengers" title.

This was a fine start to Mark Waid's Avengers, though it was a little light on anything noteworthy. Sam Wilson, Tony Stark and Miles Morales just kind of crash into each other fighting a pretty boring bad guy Read Full Review

What should have been the big book of Marvel's post Secret Wars line-up has turned out to be a dud. One can only hope that things turn around soon because right now the supposedly number one Avengers title is currently ranked at the bottom of the pile. This book should be better, this book needs to be better, we were promised All- New All- Different and instead we got All-Same All-Boring. Read Full Review

Overall: All New All Different Avengers #1 was a wretched debut issue for this new direction for Marvel's flagship title. Waid underperformed and underdelivered with this issue. The reader gets little in the way of substance or entertainment with this issue. This title blends into the tapestry of the horde of super hero comics already crowding the shelves. Waid fails to sell the reader on this new direction for the Avengers. Waid fails to get the reader invested in the characters or the story. And the result is an issue that is simply not worth the $4.00 price tag. Read Full Review

All-New, All-Different Avengers is anything but what the title describes. It's bland, unimaginative, and poorly assembled. The best thing to be said about it is that it is a perfectly readable Avengers comics, but we already have five decades worth of those. Read Full Review

Waid excels in detailed character studies and stories which build for years and so placing him on a series which Marvel appears to be positioning as the bulletin board of its new universe" offers cause for concern. If ANADA can boil away the publishing line's excess noise and focus on telling an engaging story with human voices and diverse perspectives, it still has the potential to be something special " just don't expect it to be breaking all-new, all-different ground.

Don't heed the call. These Avengers don't need to assemble. Read Full Review

Now that this issue is focusing more on one Avenger team rather than 4 or 5 at once I feel like I could really enjoy this story. The issue is a combination of two story so the whole team doesn't exactly form in this issue but a few of them do first come into contact with them. Most of these characters are my favorites like Sam Wilson and Ms Marvel. So I'm engaged for sure.

Loved the main story as well as the back up, and I already ship Nova and Kamala SO bad.

I think it is safe to say that this is going to be the Avengers title to follow. The first story features exceptional artwork as it gets the gears in motion. I enjoy the awkward pitfalls for Sam and Tony in the public eye, I could have done with Sam swooping in to catch someone less than two times, please tell me he'll be bringing more to the table than that in the upcoming issues. Surprisingly, it is the backup story that really shines, the art isn't as flashy as the first story's, but Waid really captures that teenage angst that looks like it will add new and fresh chemistry to the team. We haven't even gotten to Thor and Vision yet, but I applaud the approach of letting the story breath rather than rushing it like the other two Avengers books seemed to do. more

The hardest part of this one for me is the price tag. The issue is a set-up for future books showing the first stages of the team getting to know each other told in two stories (veterans in Captain America and rookies in Nova and Mrs. Marvel). After reading Uncanny Avengers and All New Avengers I would say this is the Avengers that showed the most promise for me. Like so many of the other books I enjoy this book seems to be a slow burn that focuses on characters. If you are looking for action I would suggest not making this your Avengers reading.

That was short. . . . really short! I mean we didn't even get the whole team together yet! Though I did like the Ms. Marvel/ Nova vignette at the end. It's going to be awesome seeing all their stories intertwining together. Hopefully there is more awesomeness next issue.

It was ok...I liked the Racial Issues...I found Tony to feel off for some reason. I love the cover, interior art was fun, not as good as Asrar did on Supergirl but still good. Just felt a little kiddish to me.

Feature story was great, backup was a snooze.

A bit too fluffy and bouncy for my tastes, but that's preference. Waid is always solid, but this simple tone doesn't demand too much of him, yet.

Much like the X-Men counterpart, the new "Avengers" top series falls flat on its first issue. Mark Waid has a problem: he's not funny, like at all. His lines are too intricate and far-fetched to sound funny, let alone draw a smile on my face. I find extremely stupid how the subject of the story (there not being any Avengers group as of now) was treated, and the nth Chitauri menace feels so boring. The art is decent. The overall mark is not that low because of the sweetish first encounter between two recent and important entries in the Marvel Universe, Ms. Marvel and Nova. Both the story and the art were completely enjoyable.

The only nice thing here is the Kamala backup with Sam, the chitauri threat is bland and generic, Adam Kubert is definitely not bringing his best to the table
