The Avengers #2 is a beautifully rendered romp that blends keen character work, big-idea bombast, and old-school charm. It builds off the momentum of the first issue and leaves audiences ready for the next. Read Full Review

Overall, this issue is a tad messy when it comes to the explanations of time travel and works best when it doesn't try to spell things out to the reader. Hercules being a hero is always cool and seeing the Avengers assemble just in time to take on many versions of Kang was pretty damn exciting. Read Full Review

A gorgeous book, Avengers plays with time travel well, with big choices to make and high stakes to boot. Vision, Wasp, Hercules, and Spider-Man all get to shine too. What's not to love? Read Full Review

Avengers is going big with its story while still maintaining the heart of Marvel Comics: the humanity of its characters. There’s a lot of fun to be had with something that feels this larger than life and is still told without changing what makes these characters great. Marvel would be wise to pay attention to what’s happening with this book the next time they plan a big event. You can have big, weird stories that take some effort to fully grasp if the characters within them are written well. Avengers is one of the better books in this post-Civil War II iteration of the Marvel U because it doesn’t force you to accept anything about the characters themselves that don’t hold true elsewhere, it only asks you to come along for a ride. That’s the whimsy that corporate comics are, sadly, usually missing. Read Full Review

The Avengers themselves are the weak link in this latest incarnation of the series. Not only is the cast small, their personalities don't make for a particularly compelling mix. Read Full Review

Avengers #1 was a major step forward from the previous All-New All-Different Avengers title. Unfortunately, Avengers #2 feels more like two steps back compared to its predecessor. Read Full Review

At the end of the day this book feels like it's still trying to find its feet and its voice all at once. I'm not sure if fans will stick around long enough to find out if either happens. Read Full Review

Fun time traveling plot, fun banter, and I am sold on the painted art look.

Good story development, though already a bit convoluted. I like Nadia more and more.

AVENGERS (and, its sister title CHAMPIONS) is a vast improvement on ALL-NEW ALL-DIFFERENT AVENGERS. Mark Waid is almost always terrific but what sets it apart from its predecessor is a true, classic lineup of Avengers. My only critique would be that Mike Del Mundo, while being a great artist, is not an ideal fit for AVENGERS.

SCORE: 7.7

Okay issue. The multiple Kangs aspect was fun, but I don't have much of a sense of who this team is. I'm not feeling the chemistry.

I just don't think Del Mundo is right for this book. But Waid is doing a good job at explaining paradoxes upon other paradoxes. LOL

I don’t know who the colorist is but they do a great job with Del Mundo’s awful and confusing art. I mean if time travel wasn’t confusing enough we get Del Mundo’s art and it makes it half as understandable as it already was. The story is decent, the art sucks, and the character writing is a huge step down from ANAD Avengers

Just don't like new Marvel style of writing, but continuing because I like Kang.
