If there's one hiccup to this issue, it's Waid's continuing subplot featuring Nadia Pym, the All-New Wasp, having a day out exploring Washington, D.C. with Janet Van Dyne, which feels like a bit of an insubstantial interlude amidst the Avengers' battle to the death out in space. But besides this detour into B-story territory, All-New All-Different Avengers #12 is one of the strongest issues of this series yet. If you're a fan of character-driven superhero comics like Grant Morrison's JLA or Geoff Johns' Justice Society of America, you should definitely check this issue out. Read Full Review
On the surface, this issue is all about the fussin' and a fightin', but Mark Waid is also showing us a team coming together and fighting individually, but still for the good of the whole. The whole thing looks great and while it can be looked at as more of a diversion than an important story, I had fun reading it and sometimes that is more than enough for me. Read Full Review
Great action, very good use of characters, and pretty clever, but still feels like little was accomplished in the way of story progression. Read Full Review
It's a fun close to a short and sweet arc. Read Full Review
ANAD AVENGERS #12 is, at its core, nothing more than a final hero vs. villain showdown. Each character is given enough time to leave a small mark amongst the action, but at the end of the day, it's only Nova who gets some necessary character development. There are things here and there that could have been more refined or better implemented, but in the end the writers just wanted a classic comic book final boss fight. So, while I can only rank this issue as plain decent, I'd still say it succeeds at telling a simple Avengers vs. bad guy fight. Read Full Review
Loaded with action and the team dynamics that make Avengers a fun read. The art was a little distracting at times but not bad. ANAD Avengers is my favorite team book that Marvel is currently publishing.
Could’ve been worse but I wish they found a different, more entertaining way to save Miles
I love this team and for the most part this series, but this arc has kind of seemed lazy. Sure, the story is entertaining, but there was no depth to it. There were numerous artistic inconsistencies throughout this arc as well, making me feel like the editors were also pretty blase about this story. I'm hoping it'll pick up from here.
