    Chuck's Comic Of The Day - Chuck Jan 8, 2017

    It's a fun story by Mark Waid that plays fair with the time travel concept and - as far as I can tell - hasn't made a mistake yet. Read Full Review

    AIPT - David Brooke Jan 4, 2017

    Avengers #3 is a fine semi-conclusion to a series that's been incredibly vivid and gorgeous. Wasp takes the reigns in this one and proves she's just as heroic as the next guy. Read Full Review

    Heroes Direct - Adam Fitch Jan 6, 2017

    In summary, Avengers #3 is a strong, strong instalment in this new series. It pushed the story along nicely while giving it enough attention, the characters all get treated as they deserve, and the artwork is impeccable. The secret Vision whispered the Wasp will be playing on our minds until Issue #4! Read Full Review

    IGN - Jesse Schedeen Jan 5, 2017

    The resolution in this issue feels a bit cheap and easy considering the scope of the threat Kang and his other selves have posed, but at least it ties together the majority of the book's current loose ends. Read Full Review

    Superior Spider-Talk - Russ McDonald Jan 10, 2017

    The Avengers continues to layer big ideas on the foundation of its strong character work. Even if the resolution to one of the story's primary conflicts seems abrupt, more mysteries remain as Earth's Mightiest Heroes continue their battle against Kang. Read Full Review

    Comics: The Gathering - Aaron Reese Jan 5, 2017

    Between the excellent artwork by Del Mundo and expert characterization by Waid, this is an enjoyable comic book, even with the trippy time-travelling stuff that usually accompanies Kang. The Kang craziness might not be for everyone, and, yeah, it did get slightly cumbersome, but the foundation for the future of this roster is rock solid. Maybe this is the comic to bring more balance to the current upheaval in the Marvel world. Remember, Waid is the guy who wrote Kingdom Come. Read Full Review
