ASGARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #1 is as if Cullen Bunn himself has two M16s and is defending the Gjallerbru bridge next Skurge The Executioner. Read Full Review

Asgardians of The Galaxy #1 is a fun book; it finds that nice balance between being serious and a little goofy at the same time. Bunn does a great job of pacing this first issue while getting his team together and laying out the drivingforce of the story. The art looks great as well, with some great character work from Lolli and some dynamic colors by Federico Blee. I was not too excited about this series when it was first announced but now I cannot wait until issue #2 comes out! Read Full Review

Asgardians of the Galaxy #1 was a delightful surprise. Overall a strong debut for a Marvel book, which is a big accomplishment. As I said above, this was a motley crew thrown together, and the fun comes from the fact that Asgardians know the battle in front of them and nothing else. Throw in an enemy who challenges them in new and interesting ways and you are in for one heck of a war for the fate of the galaxy. Read Full Review

Bunn gives us exactly what we might expect from an Asgardian team of superheroes: tons of action. A long, cosmic battle takes up most of this issue, leaving little time for character development. I hope future issues give characters like Valkyrie and Angela a little more in-depth panel-time -- beyond just throwing axes. Read Full Review

Asgardians of the Galaxy #1 delivers all the elements of a successful launch. A great cast, lovely art, and a compelling reason to team-up in the first place. Read Full Review

This has a fun fantasy vibe with sci-fi sensibilities that should get action adventure fans excited. Read Full Review

The Asgardians of the Galaxy debut in a splashy, fast, action-packed A-Team adventure. The plot and art are great high-octane stuff, but the characters are, so far, a bit flat. There's more than enough potential here to satisfy and to justify signing on for the full story arc. This team and its mission are both fascinating; I hope their story gets even more engaging in future chapters. Read Full Review

Bunn's the type of writer that doesn't put everything up front in the first issue of his story, and Asgardians of the Galaxy is no exception. The time hop in the middle takes a second or seven to process, but it summarizes the setup for the reader quite nicely. Read Full Review

The comic is a fun one where the real entertaining conflict is the characters themselves. The big bad and plan that they need to stop feels a bit extraneous if anything. This team could put together IKEA furniture and it'd be entertaining. Read Full Review

It's a title that clearly, once Cullen Bunn has thought it up, had to happen, by dint of the god of wordplay. And hey, if Marvel does need a radical departure for the third movie given the current dissatisfaction of the cast, this really might be a way to go, merging two franchises into one.

Everything about Asgardians of the Galaxy is fine for a first issue. The most impressive part is the pun. Read Full Review

There are many individuals pieces of this book that work well, but there's just that one piece that keeps it from being a buy. Maybe future installments will change my mind, but I feel that readers who are looking for mythological/fantasy stew will find something decent in this comic. Read Full Review

The comic is tied into Marvel's larger event (Infinity Wars) but because so much of the writing is cribbed from other sources its pretty easy to follow. Issue #1 is really memorable only for the unusual makeup of the team (involving villains and magical frogs) who may be able to save the day if they can stop themselves from destroying the universe. For fans. Read Full Review

Asgardians of the Galaxy #1 is a bit of fun, but its depressingly shallow. The interplay between characters doesnt hook the reader, the story is pushed out with little explanation, and the art is the only strong aspect of the comic. I cant say to not buy this one, but I cant strongly recommend it either. If you just want to see a bunch of Asgardians come together and kick ass, then youll likely get some enjoyment out of this one. It you want anything more substantial, then I cant suggest this one.

Competent pacing and action aside, it's not hard to find a lot of books that can hit that marker these days " while there is plenty of potential to be found Asgardians of the Galaxy, but this team will need to stretch themselves more if they ever hope to reach it. Read Full Review

Out of 5 stars I give it a 2.5 I like the premise of the comic, but several times it seemed to struggle to establish what kind of book it was. Is it a comedy, or is a bash em action or is it an archaeological thriller? I don't mind it in a title or even in one issue but all in one action sequence was a bit much. This could definitely find interest from fans outside of normal comic readers, and I could see myself plopping myself down to watch as a cartoon (but more Throg please) . The Asgardians Of The Galaxy story is has the capacity to be complex and has plenty of room for a lot of sub storylines. Read Full Review

I like the team they have made. Nobody seems to have ever figured out what do with Angela over the years and this worked better than most of her stuff going all the way back to the original McFarlane books. Still not great though. Throg almost made my rating an 8 by himself.

While Asgardians of the Galaxy has a very intriguing premise, the assembling of the team is way too fast and the pacing feels off. It would help if the art was better as well, but this series definitely has potential to be great

Angela assembles a team of Thor-connected misfits and sets them on a path to their own little Ragnarok struggle. This roster has a lot of promise, which makes it disappointing to see the script prioritize a slightly "meh" plot ahead of character work. The art shows a lot of refined talent but also a lot of shortcuts. This feels like a cruise-control effort ennobled by a terrific premise - a pretty enjoyable read, but it looks like it's going to miss a lot of opportunities.

I was in a high expectation... at least in the first number it was not.

Unfortunately already pre-ordered until #3... lets see.

I'm interested, I'd keep reading this.

Got it for free and it still wasn't worth it
