It took a minute, but the story of the Starbrand is finally starting to catch fire and has immediately become the most compelling aspect of this multiversal saga. Read Full Review

Avengers #52 is a good reminder comics are fun when they take big swings with heroes and villains. The Multiversal Masters of Evil is turning out to be a wildly inventive group of villains and the twist by the end will have you excited for more Starbrand. Read Full Review

Avengers #52 has Captain America and Captain Marvel square off against two members of the new Multiversal Masters of Evil. The artwork, colors, and action between the heroes and villains are the saving grace of this comic issue. The story's focus on the kid Starbrand is underwhelming, but the comic evens it out with the Avengers facing the new Masters of Evil. Read Full Review

This was pretty good. I've not particularly enjoyed Jason Aaron's run but I am interested in this multiversal masters of evil thing. The art is decent. I think I like where things are going but still kind of on the fence since, track record I suppose, the past 50 issues have been either boring or a good idea poorly executed (the moon Knight stuff especially).

I am looking forward to the next issue again. That's how you should feel when reading a comic you enjoy so it accomplished that.

My only issue is the star brand kid. She's annoying. Spoiler... She aged up at the end which I guess is good in the long run so the Avengers aren't babysitters anymore. They should've given the kid to Luke Cage and Jessica who seem to be the only responsible parents in comics by virtue of not having an ongoing series. I'd read that actually. If it was written anything like Tomasi's superman run, I would buy that in a heartbeat.

I'm tangenting. Avengers 52 - hopeful for more good issues ahead. This was fun aside from the annoying little girl who is now aged past puberty. more

This is a solid, fun issue of Avengers. There are attempts by Aaron to heighten the script, but at the end of the day, this issue is a lot of action figures hitting each other. But you know, it's fun. It's not high art, but it's not fast food either.

It's not bad with a few descent woven threads. Frigeri is good but his Captain America and especially the face/Mask are just off for me.

This issue's action set-piece is just as well-drawn and a bit tighter-plotted than the last one.

The character work is a wash for me. I love this treatment of Cap and his attempt to teach the Starbrand. But on the flip side, I don't think she learns enough and I pretty much hate her; she's unbearably (literally) xenophobic almost all the time.

What tips the scales is that the Deathloks' prophesying sounds a lot less stupid this time around, so I'm rating #52 higher than #51.

It's got some fun parts but, like most issues in Aaron's run it falls short of being as good as it could be. It just feels so corny in certain parts.

This issue featured possibly the most annoying character ive ever seen in a comic

ehh all felt like fan fiction to me
