A STANDOFF tie-in! Trapped in Pleasant Hill, the Avengers can’t tell the heroes from the villains -- and, worse, they don’t even recognize each other! How can the Avengers act like a team when they have no memory of one another?
This doesn't feel like a typical Avengers comic, but Waid has been doing things I didn't expect this entire series. And he has created some pretty memorable moments for me in this new Marvel Universe. By the end of this comic I'm curious to see where Waid will go next with this Avengers team. My big question after seeing Steve Rogers in his young glory at the end of this comic is what if this reality altering child chose to cure Jane Foster of cancer. Right after reading this comic, I looked to see when the next issue will be released. An all new story starts in issue 9, and with The Wasp on the cover I'm thinking more great things are coming. This has been a great run, one of the best series I'm reading each month. Read Full Review
It's part of the multi-issue, crossing-between-different-titles story called Avengers Standoff - so I'm working at a disadvantage here, because I haven't been reading any of the other tie-ins. Luckily, Waid knows how to tell a story, and Adam Kubert provides terrific art. Read Full Review
All-New, All-Different Avengers #8 is a chaotic issue. That chaos is clearly what Mark Waid was aiming for with his script, but that doesn't make the issue any less jarring. Read Full Review
As a chapter of the currently unfolding "Standoff" storyline, this issue holds its own, but as an issue of All-New All-Different Avengers, it fails to capture the energy and excitement (and the focus on the title characters) evident in the first seven issues. Read Full Review
Most Avengers stories involve them fighting super-powered bad guys at some point. The challenge is getting them to this point in a creative, novel manner. Avengers: Standoff tries to takes a creative path in meeting this challenge, but reverts back to familiar territory too quickly. There are any number of stories that involve the Avengers escaping the grasp of powerful, mind-bending, reality-warping threats. This is just the latest and far from the greatest. Read Full Review
There is some action here, but not a whole lot. Deadpool gets a great moment (which you would think would be in Uncanny Avengers and not here) but not much for everyone else. This issue went by so fast with very little happening so I did not feel right giving it a higher score. The art is good. The dialog at times can be off, but pretty good. This is one of the better installments in the Standoff story at this point.
Easily the weakest issue of the series and the Standoff event. This issue was pure poorly drawn action and not a lot of dialogue in the slightest. It’s not as much action as it is needless and confusing chaos. At times, I can’t help but root for Zemo and his gang for what SHIELD did to them. I don’t know if that’s the point or not but this was a really poor issue
I didn't understand everything that went on in this issue because I refuse to read Avengers Standoff because I don't want to read the other Avenger books. The ending was fairly well done but other than that this book was forgettable. I can't wait for this crossover to end and we can get back to a story that I'll enjoy.
Did ANAD Avengers needed to be part of this crossover? No. In fact, none of the books that have been part of Avengers Standoff are 'cept for the Captain America book, which is what Standoff was supposed to be about. Instead they tried to spread out a very thin plot/event and ended up with a bunch of nothing.
This was tough. Waid has put in long-term effort with these characters, but the events of this issue and the crossover itself are very dull. A derailment from what was on course to being a good thing. And, as one of the penultimate chapters in Standoff, a failure.
