Jul 18, 2018Questions are answered. Art is fantastic. And, Aaron is on fire guiding new and old readers back into Marvel again. This issue wasn't filled with a ton of action, but it gave readers a ton of explanation that was drastically needed. Pick this issue up and get the answers you need moving forward. Read Full Review

Black Nerd Problems - Brandon Lawrence
Jul 20, 2018This opens up a promise of an epic confrontation between the Avengers and the Dark Celestials. Aaron has a wonderful grasp on these characters. The more I read, the more these Avengers feel right. The cynicism of seeing them as "cash grab" choices because of the movies really fades before the quality writing of Jason Aaron. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Charles Martin
Jul 18, 2018If you're looking for literary merit or scrupulous storytelling craft or insightful characterization, Avengers #5 is likely to disappoint. If you address the comic on its own terms and let its sound and fury carry you over the top into absurd popcorn movie spectacle, it's a thoroughly entertaining ride. You won't feel like putting it on a pedestal once it's over, but while you're turning the pages, it is a lot of fun. Read Full Review

PopCultHQ - Christian Kern
Jul 18, 2018Jason Aaron is a fantastic writer. For myself, it's usually his dialogue which works wonders in his books. He never comes onto a book without a plan. Such as I stated earlier, he took on Thor for various titles and each one built upon the next with a beginning, middle, and an end in which we have not quite reached yet. He also likes to play with past, present and future of his characters. This is apparent as his use of King Thor in his work on Mighty Thor and the use of the Prehistoric Avengers in the flashbacks throughout his current Avengers run. Read Full Review

Bleeding Cool - Joshua Davison
Jul 19, 2018Avengers #5 is another fun and out-there installment for Earths Mightiest Heroes. There are slow parts and subpar one-liners, but the overall book is a lot of fun and presents its characters well. Mix that with some solid artwork, and you have a book well worth recommending. Check it out. Read Full Review

Epicstream - Brian McCormick
Jul 20, 2018McGuinness delivers some jaw-dropping art of a dying celestial in the issues opening sequence, while Aaron reveals all the mystery surrounding their past. Avengers #5 kicks everything into high gear as Loki reveals the rest of his plan to Captain America and the Avengers begin their counterattack. Read Full Review

Epic and almost ridiculous. Aaron goes for big operatic spectacle and he scores big. Some people might find the ending too much bit it works for me. In a way, this Aaron run echoes what Snyder has been trying to do with Justice League, but improves on it. For the first time since Bendis left, there seem to be some real, cosmic stakes. The heroes are heroic, there are surprising revelations and the cast is put to great use, especially the new Ghost Rider. Captain Marvel is still the weakest link and I don't love feral She Hulk, but those are minor complaints. Using Loki as the main antagonist works great as a homage to how the Avengers got together in the first place. Great, great book

This is one hell of an Avengers comic! The characters all feel in character, the action is huge, the set-up for the last part is just cool as anything and Ghist Rider is the surprise break out character here! Aaron gets how to write this sort of big stuff and I really hope he keeps up the quality and stays on the book for ages.

Awesome read. I'm a big fan of creation/ origin tales, so if you are too this is the book to get. Art has been good since the start. Can't wait to see where it all ends up.

Great stuff. Aaron manages to continue telling a story so big in scope and he succeeds in many things even the ending that is absurd but completely has me on board because of the setup. The art by Medina and McGuiness along with Curiel's perfect coloring has a lot to do with why this comic book succeeds. Medina is doing his best work here!

This book has improved a lot and is continuing going all-in on this epic storytelling. There's a lot of lore surrounding the main story, and the last page was absolutely amazing - it's one of those that make you remember why you fell in love with comic books in the first place.

The Avengers FINALLY tie all the threads together and get suitably strapped for a fight with a bunch of rabid Celestials. After far too long scrabbling with fiddly details, this issue takes the story right over the top and promises high-quality insanity for the next installment. There's still a host of flaws and cheese that keeps me from calling this "great," but this series has, at last, made it to "good."

The series is overall good but its the little things that hold it back. The horrible jokes. Tony Stark talking wayyyyy to much. Trying to fit 2000 foot tall celestials in less than 1/8 of a page. The stupid retcons. She Hulk and Robbie's writing from Jason Aaron. Ok thats a lot of bad things but this series is actually really great and also LOKI🤩

A little over the top but still enjoying it, after re reading it there's something i dont like about this issue i think its some of the dialogue and maybe its a bit ridiculous how they all have a way to suddenly become giant to fight celestials but seemed a bit corny.
