I can’t be bothered to write a review on this today. I’ll just say you are correct, Aaron has lost my interest and I’m only still reading this because of my idiot dedication to the avengers.
THE LEGEND OF RENO PHOENIX AND THE STARBRAND KID!
The Avengers' journey through time brings them to the Old West, where they cross paths with a couple of History's Mightiest Heroes, whose six-guns are loaded with the greatest powers of the heavens. But is that enough to force a showdown with the forces of Mephisto? Or will the Avengers be lost in time forever?
RATED T+
Garron delivers some great art in the issue and the rich environments and thrilling action make up for the bland elements of the plot. Read Full Review
Impatient pacing and shallow characters make this issue of Avengers a rather unsatisfying wild west adventure. Read Full Review
Avengers #59 takes the Avengers to the Wild West where they meet new users of the Phoenix and the Starbrand. The new characters are alright, nothing spectacular or memorable, but they're fine for this western story. However, there's no sense of danger or stakes in this comic, so it feels like it's only meant to show off the new characters instead of progressing the larger story. Read Full Review
I am a sucker for a new Avengers story, and I must say that I do like seeing homages to older concepts such as Phoenix or Starbrand. Mephisto is a consummate villain in the Marvel universe, and any timeyou can outwit the Devil is alright with me! Perhaps it is my eye for all things comics in knowing the Old West is a hot thing now, but if everyone is on board, then check out what Jason Aaron is doing in Avengers! Itll be interesting to see if there are any time casualties along the way! Read Full Review
I'm a sucker for Westerns, but the slapdash pastiche-work being applied to Avengers of all eras in the current scattershot arc of stories does the genre no justice here. Read Full Review
Looks like I bucked the trend by breaking and rallying earlier than most readers. The last 2 issues beat me down, but by the time I picked this one up, my tolerance for "fun stupid" one-off adventures had grown back. I wound up enjoying it quite a bit.
And objectively, maybe these Ole West Avengers bring a little more potential to the table than the Ghost Ronin did. I think the author and the artist put a little more sweat into telling their story, anyway.
This arc really isn't working. There's nowhere for the reader to plant themselves and make sense of all this multiversal madness. It really doesn't work.
Creative and a interesting story but it didn't really do much for me unfortunately
What if ramblings continue. This is not an Avengers book. The art is the only saving grace here. Garron and Curiel are the only positives. Can't leave out of sheer commitment and It's almost over but man is Aaron not good at developing and writing the issues between his good concept ones like 710 and 750. Too much garbage in between.
No.
As usual, a bad "what if" with shallow, unambitious characters, and an arc that takes far too long to get to the point (if there is one). It's time Jason Aaron decided to conclude this arc, he's losing our interest fast.
I have been dedicated to the Avengers for the past 50 years and Jason Aaron has pushed me to a place I thought I would ever reach. I will pause reading this book until another creative team comes on board. How in the hell is Marvel letting this travesty continue?
Jesus Christ just end already.
