Rated T+
Javier Garron delivers some great visual moments throughout and there are some really fun moments between Iron Man and the baby that made me smile. The action is great and I was blown away by the last few pages. Read Full Review
The Moon Knight begins to shine inAvengers #35 (Aaron, Garron, Keith), the latest installment of "Age of Khonshu." If you like your superhero popcorn epics big, bold, and willing to be a little silly, this is without a doubt a book for you! Read Full Review
We're nearing the endgame here, and threads from the very beginning of the book are starting to come together, but I like the use of this issue's cast, especially Iron Man's realization that they're fighting the literal devil. Read Full Review
Avengers #35 is stronger than the last, but still falters a bit. Still, it's quite clear the story is managing to tell an epic story in lightning speed in an industry where stories overstay their welcome. It's starting to feel like this story arc is managing an idea that's too big for each issue, but it manages to entertain and deliver on fun character moments just enough to make it worth a read.

The issue may drag a bit at the beginning, but by issue's end it's all worth it, and hopefully, the next issue can keep the momentum going right from the start. Read Full Review

" That without the god of the Moon, we'd all be lost."
- KHONSHU
There were some really cool parts and at points the stakes felt big but then we have these corny parts like she hulk thinking about basketball and the joking around with iron man just takes me out of it.
This was slightly better than last issue but I still have problems with the characterization. Moon Knight seems to understand he's in the wrong here, yet continues to side against the Avengers, at least for now. Also, Tony is acting very weird. I understand the reason why, but I just don't think that's how Tony Stark would react. Also, the pacing in this arc is just so weird. This is definitely a fumble for this run, and I hate that its the arc with one of my favorite characters at its center.
I thought this was just okay. Art was fine, nothing special but nothing really bad. Not a ton of plot progression, it’s a pretty slow story and I’m only sort of invested in it. I like that it’s starting to connect many of the plot threads that have been building this entire run.
A problem I have after reading it is that it feels like this might have been a conflict that could have been resolved with a conversation. Moon knight seems to have acted out of concern for the worlds future although that’s only been hinted at, no details about that threat aside from probably involving Mephisto. Moon knight could have just contacted the Avengers, explained what he knows about the threat and worked together or the conflict could h more
Khonshu is a terrified, jealous godling, fighting an unending war against multi-Mephisto. Meanwhile, the Avengers score some minor wins and Moon Knight's feeling of being on the wrong side grows. It has good art and some interesting plot ideas, but as ever, "cliched at best" characterization is the Achilles heel that spoils the reading experience.
Just waiting for the end and something better. The art is nice.
This was a better issue for me, though I’m still hesitant about this whole thing.
Mediocre at best. Does not appear that the art and story are truly in synch.
Well, this would be a great story for the Defenders, but the Avengers are not the Defenders. Thor is in the cover but does not show up.
The interaction sometimes reminds me of the Giffen De Matteis Justice League which is not a good thing, and the humor backfires.
Three issues in this is like a Moon Knight mini series inserted in the Avengers book.
