Frigeri delivers some powerful art that is filled with beautiful detail throughout. The characters look amazing and the action is thrilling and gorgeously detailed. Read Full Review
If this is what we can expect from this series moving forward, the future of Avengers is looking pretty damn fantastic. Read Full Review
Avengers #51 comes out of the gate swinging with high emotions, disarray within the Avengers, and the first official confrontation from the Multiversal Masters of Evil. It pays off readers following both Avengers Forever and the milestone Avengers #750. Echo ends up feeling a bit underwritten here, but here's to the tease that there may be more to her connection to Thor than we know. Read Full Review
Avengers #51 kicks off the new story arc with the Avengers vs. the new Multiversal Masters of Evil. The comic has a rough beginning, but when the new Masters of Evil show up, it gets much better. It's a good-old-fashioned clash between the heroes and villains, the art team do a great job illustrating the characters and action, and it's clear by the end that the fight has only just begun.

I love the Avengers team and thats what has me picking up these issues. But the plot as a whole doesnt bring anything new to the table. Its been a struggle to continue reading this series. Read Full Review
After a stellar issue #50 Jason Aaron delivers again. Avengers has been a consistently fantastic book and has really been on fire lately.
I had fun with this one. It's ridiculous but in a good way. Your mileage may vary.
Back on this train for the arc to see where we go and Aaron is still at it and his style isn't going to change. I just ask to be entertained at this point with some form of story telling that doesn't take 25 issue to make a point. So this was a good start I guess. Frigeri is a good fit here with good art although some faces need work. Curiel is absolutely spot on with his colors.
It was OK. Not really anything great but, was good enough to enjoy in its own way.
Unlike the previous issue, this one is the bad kind of messy. Overblown character melodrama, tons of scenery-chewing by the villains, badly-organized (but nicely-drawn) combat, and nary a meaningful or interesting development to be found.
And then there's the Deathloks' dialogue, *good lord*. I counted at least ten eyeball-rolling phrases, from "megaverse" on down to "legion of super Satans." A perfect litany of stupid.
When you keep your amps turned up to 11 all the time, it all starts to sounds like one big nonstop wall of noise. Turning them up to 12 doesn't correct this.
Just when I thought this run couldn't get dumber...
I had high hopes for this storyline as well
