Rated T+
AVENGERS #19 comes is a surprise issue. Aaron has little to no trouble evolving the character of Gorilla-Man and making us care about him. Not to mention, the WAR OF THE REALMS tie-in aspect of this issue is flawless. On top of all that, you get to look at pitch-perfect pages from McGuinness, Ponsor, and Arciniega all day long. What's not to love? Read Full Review
Ed McGuinness art is out of this world. All of the beautiful splash pages and hero shots make the issue come to life. All of the characters look amazing. A great looking issue from beginning to end. Read Full Review
Last issue the Avengers title cast its focus on a few characters that have largely been forgotten. Here its focussed on a character who is far more interesting than how hes been treated in the past. Its a clever approach to a mega-crossover: invite the readers to take a closer look at minor side characters caught-up in the rush of events rather than the standard ensemble so often found filling the pages of the book. Sometimes when things get really stressful, you just need to hang out with a gorilla. Read Full Review
It's a solid comicthat manages to fill the bill for both fans of the Event series - and those who are just reading TheAvengers. Read Full Review
I give Aaron a lot of credit for the web of characters, teams, and motivations that he's creating. The Winter Guard, the Legion of the Unliving, and especially the Agents of Wakanda have provided a variety of possibilities Aaron is looking to explore. I can only imagine that this book has been designed with years of plots in mind. I adore it when a minor character is focused on to move the story along. Let's not forget what a giant like Ed McGuinness can do with such a dynamic book. There are some great shots, including Luke Cage with a battle hammer and Carol Danvers flying alongside a flying boat. Depending on who's drawing the rest of the War of the Realms books, I may have to pick the series up. Read Full Review
Avengers (2019-) #19 focuses on Gorilla-Man and shows us a "behind the scenes" look at the events of War of the Realms, as well as giving some developments to the previous Avengers story, with fantastic art on top of it all. Read Full Review
Without losing sight of big action, "Avengers" #19 zooms in on some of its lesser known characters, and delivers surprising insight and twists to his role on the team and the larger adventures afoot. Read Full Review
The War of The Realms lands right on the Avengers doorstep. While the war rages on, T'Challa's Agents of Wakanda continue to covertly gather intel on potential threats the Avengers must be aware of. What T'Challa and the Avengers fail to realize is that the intel they receive may not be able to be trusted. Read Full Review
If you are only here for the War of the Realms, you may be disappointed and confused. However, if you are a regular reader of this book, Jason Aaron is putting a lot of cool pieces together in very interesting ways. I went into this for more of the later so I left with a smile on my face. Read Full Review
One of the strengths of this series is its ability to give a voice to characters we aren't use to hearing from. Read Full Review
A decent issue that manages to move the main Avengers plot forward more than the last 3 have and still be a WOTR tie in. Read Full Review
While the central narrative may feel a bit disjointed, the artwork and central character still chalks up a nice win for Avengers #19. Read Full Review
Avengers 19 may be the best issue of War of the Realms yet. This issue is centered around Gorilla Man and Aaron excels at writing him while Ed excels at drawing him. Aaron perfectly sets up the series after War of the Realms while still writing an important installment to the event itself. Flawless issue. I can’t wait to see what Aaron has in store for the Winter Guard as Ursa Major is revealed as a double agent for Wakanda, as Gorilla Man is also revealed to be a double agent for Dracula. Perfect issue
Great twist at the end!
It's a great issue! I'm not not even reading war of the realms but there is enough here for me to enjoy! That's the way it's supposed to be. McGuiness and Morales are a great combo for some great art. I also think this might've been Justin Ponsor's last colored book from the hospital. His stuff is unmatched!!
Really great issue. I like how things keep building.
Gorilla-Man's day in the spotlight covers a lot of ground: Espionage and betrayal in addition to helping save Avengers Mountain from Malekith. The art is gorgeous through and through and Ken's voice is charming. But I'm worried about the long-term ramifications. I think this issue filled up my quota for Gorilla-Man antics; I'd rather not see future pages spent on a damnation/redemption arc for him.
Gasp! Gorilla-Man, no!
I'm loving how much is happening in this book. Stuff is building, with lots of interesting revelations. On top of that, the artwork is great, making this a very good read.
What a revoltin' development!
Gorilla-Man centered issue, which is nice in the middle of a large event.
