Rated T+
This is writing at its best, period! Waid, Zub, and Ewing managed to pull off what is so difficult. Introduce a new character, flawlessly integrate them into the story without taking anything away from the other Avengers. And give you a great story all the way around. I can't wait to find out what comes next! I'm all in! Any Avengers fan should be all in too! Read Full Review
This book justifies the use of the word “epic”. Wow! With characterization this good, action this excellent, and visuals this good one cannot help but squeal in joy knowing there's another issue out next week. This is outstanding fun. Read Full Review
Another issue in the No Surrender tale, another cliffhanger. This is what Avengers and event comics should be. Ive had almost seventy pages of Avengers comics this year already, but I want more. This is a fun superheroic, universe-saving saga in the making. Read Full Review
Through the unfolding events of Avengers #677, this was yet another satisfying chapter to No Surrender. We may not see the full picture just yet, but we know enough to understand exactly what is at stake here. Well maybe all that is needed to know is at stake when two warring groups decide Earth should be a playground for their battles against one another. Nonetheless, next week holds interest for these heroes racing against time to find out who is behind this madness. Read Full Review
So far, "No Surrender" is accomplishing what its creators set out to do by unifying the Avengers line and building a conflict worthy of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Read Full Review
I'll admit I've been skeptical about this event but three issues in, it's held up and been fantastic. What easily could have been an issue with a lot of punching turns into something a bit unexpected with the spotlight on Quicksilver. Hopefully the rest of the event keeps me on my toes as much as this one. Read Full Review
AVENGERS #677 is a thrilling issue that provides more questions than answers. Mark Waid, Al Ewing, and Jim Zub are a great team of writers, making each issue better than the rest. Pepe Larraz and David Curiel continue to make the artwork shine. Read Full Review
A good third issue in the arc, but I'm still waiting for some damn answers! Read Full Review
With this being still very early on within the “No Surrender” storyline, this issue starts to position the Avenger teams into the right positions to have some big battles in future issues, the use of Quicksilver to break up the flow really helps keep things interesting. I've been enjoying this series and now I'm left with more questions, that I can't wait to find out more and with a weekly series, I don't need to wait long. Read Full Review
This issue had a lot of action with the Avengers stuck between a worldwide battle between The Lethal Legion and the Black Order. The characterization of the heroes continues to be spot on, but at this point, the villains all kind of feel like they are just there. That said, I did like the twist on the typical event story of two groups being forced to fight by powerful beings with both groups being villains this time. Read Full Review
"Avengers" #677 is a focused comic providing additional beats with Quicksilver while retaining forward momentum from past issues. Read Full Review
A small but satisfying revelation and a hint of hilarity are enough (just barely) to keep the "No Surrender" train chugging along. Pepe Larraz's top-tier art cries out for a more memorable story to tell, but so far the script refuses to rise to greatness. This is a decent arc so far - but is "decent" enough for a story demanding so much of its readers' time and money? Read Full Review
The biggest takeaway from these first three issues is that with Pepe Larraz and David Curiel, there's no shortage of explosive action. A big story like this feels like a summer blockbuster event that we can enjoy without it bleeding into everything else from Marvel. Read Full Review
While not being weak enough to derail the entire event, Avengers #677 doesnt really do much for the story, and its hard not to feel that much of that is caused by the choice of featuring Quicksilver, whose massive baggage weighs down any intended emotional resonance. Hopefully next issue wont suffer from the same problems. Read Full Review
If Marvel's constant stream of monthly events didn't win you over, don't expect their weekly ones to, either. Because as Avengers #677 demonstrates, they essentially have the same problem: pacing and framing. Read Full Review
Part three of no surrender. Their is some surprise & very good work on the character, and something I feared but not in this form.
For those who doesn't want to be spoiled, I give my grade before what I think of the story.
Cover - A nice cover, well link to what I read inside 2/2
Writing - A good story. I was right about who is behind this story but cannot identify the other party. I liked the fact the writer crews do their homework & use actuel part of the original Avengers ongoing. 3/3
Arts - I liked the art the only panel I wasn't fond of was the cliffhanger. 3/3
Feeling - After a disappointing issue, No Surrender succeed to do really good story. I look forward to be next week. 2/2

Woah that was good. I’ve always loved Pieter and now he is getting the attention and recognition he deserves. That said, I really really really hope he didn’t just die. I love how amidst this grand epic, Waid, Ewing, and Zub still find ways to finish unresolved plot points from their old series. Also, I love the respect for continuity (Ewing’s specialty). I mean they wrote about a secret base that hasn’t been mentioned since 1965 in Avengers 13! I love it!
I love this book already. Very classic avenger feel with modern vigor.
I think every issue so far was from an avenger's point of view guiding us through the narration and this one nailed Pietro's persona well. The reveals keep coming and the weekly format suits it here because a monthly release wouldn't work as well.
Larraz and Curiel continue their fine collaboration that make this book a thing of beauty. Panels, whether in splash pages or small moments are on point. Is it next Wednesday yet?
Still going as strong. The art is fantastic and the overall pacing of the story is great, especially with the series being weekly. This way they can easily pull all these wacky cliffhangers, without having the readers wait a whole month to see the outcome.
A good amount of spotlight has been given to Pietro Maximoff, and i am liking that decision. This issue also has some good action scenes. The art by Pepe Larraz is great and the colours by David Curiel are very dense.
A solid read with great art that ups the stakes a little more and continues to reveal more mystery.
The villains stand revealed as "Contest of Champions"-type pawns, and one of the players is our old pal Grandmaster. Pietro's our POV character and he has a terrible day. Rogue doesn't trust him (fair), and his sister accidentally spoils his big "save the day" moment fighting the Lethal Legion (ouch). I am spectacularly uninterested in the combat or the game, but the Grandmaster's mystery Challenger does pique my interest. So does Voyager. For somebody who's been out of action since Avengers #71, she is INCREDIBLY au courant on code-names and goings-on. I smell a rat. Pepe Larraz's art and some solid "Pietro gets picked last for dodgeball" humor bump this up a bit above average for me.
