FEATURING GHOST RIDER 1,000,000 BC!
If you thought you knew the beginnings of the Marvel Universe, you were wrong! Odin and his Prehistoric Avengers represent a period of Marvel history that's never been explored. That exploration begins this issue with the origin of the very first Ghost Rider, one who rides a flaming woolly mammoth and battles a savage and familiar foe!
Rated T+
This is the kind of series he was meant to write, and I'd love to see more of it. Read Full Review
This book is absolutely perfect. The story, art, colors, and letters are all at the highest possible caliber, delivering a must-read, must-own story for every comic fan. This is fun, thrilling, and incredible to look upon. This is why comic books continue to be published. This earns my highest possible recommendation. Read Full Review
AVENGERS #7 will quickly grip you with the story of the first Ghost Rider. It's a genuinely sincere tale, one that perfectly paints a picture of who this prehistoric hero was. Read Full Review
Jason Aaron takes a break from the present day Avengers, to revisit the Prehistoric Avengers. Aaron this time focuses on the Prehistoric Ghost Rider. Jason Aaron must have had as much fun writing this issue as I did reading it, especially with his history with the Ghost Rider character. The tragic rise of this Ghost Rider was an exciting and entertaining story, which is a testament to strong writing and art. We probably haven't seen the last of these prehistoric heroes, and their actions in the past will probably continue to have effects on the present day Avengers. Read Full Review
Though somewhat blindsiding to knowledgeable Ghost Rider fans, this well-done issue not only raises MANY more questions than answers but leaves me anticipatory for potential answers to come! Read Full Review
It was great to get a little taste of Sara Pichelli. She really got to play around with the medium in a story of dank caves, snowy tundras, and flaming mammoths. It was just amazing to look at. There's a fair amount a conversation between the hero and villain which worked out because Pichelli puts a lot of dynamism in the characters' faces. You can feel the tension of the scene and it makes the comic that much better. It's a shame she won't continue on the book in the upcoming arc but it was great while it lasted. Read Full Review
Avengers #7 makes me happy as a reader for a few reasons. 1) I like the constant thread through this volume of these “original” Avengers that Odin assembled. They are dynamic and interesting. B) Fire. Hellfire + Mammoth. 3) This creative team knows how to make plot beats drop at the right time with the maximum impact, and it shows throughout this issue. Read Full Review
I hope the structure of the first arc of Jason Aaron’s Avengers was just suffering from some sort of editorial push. If the book keeps up like this, it will be exactly what we wanted from the start. Avengers#7 takes a giant step forward in pacing, dialogue, structure, and equally important, the art. It all meshes together so much better. If this run hasn’t been your thing so far, give it another shot. Read Full Review
At any rate, hopefully future issues will contain more adventures starring the team whose name is up there on the top of the cover. Read Full Review
A good issue that starts to shed light on the Avengers of 1 million B.C. Read Full Review
Avengers #7 breaks from the modern day story to tell the origin of the Ghost Rider. The story is good and self-contained, with great art that fits the story well. Read Full Review
Avengers may still be finding its feet, but this trip to the dawn of recorded time is exactly the kind of shot in the arm it needed. Read Full Review
The story itself is told really well. I was engaged with the characters and satisfied with the reveals, especially the one at the end. The only flaw I really had with the issue is that the pacing of the story made it feel too short. Read Full Review
Jason Aaron clearly had his best intentions in mind by trying to use Avengers #7 to reveal Ghost Rider 1,000,000 BC. Unfortunately this is something that was not built to, making it tough to actually connect with this version of Ghost Rider. It does not help that certain story choices just further drove home how uninteresting this version of Ghost Rider is. That all added up to Avengers #7 turning out to be nothing more than a filler comic book that you can pass on reading. Read Full Review
i loved this book
One of the main plots of this series that maked me buy this books was the Pre-Historic Avengers. This issue tells the story of the Ghost Rider. I really liked it and the art is gorgeus.
This was a good filler book and I enjoyed reading it.
Best single issue I've read in months. Great art, enthralling story.
I loved it!
OVERVIEW
Avengers #7
a) Writing/Script= 9.0/10 (Jason Aaron)
b) Art= 8.4/10 (Sara Pichelli)
c) Colours= 9.0/10 (Justin Ponsor)
Average= 8.83/10
I loved this issue. It focuses on one character only so it is easy to follow. I also loved that Jason Aaron brought back old characters like Wendigo. Jason Aaron's writing is solid throughout the whole book. Not to forget, Sara Pichelli's art was also very good in this book. The excellent colours by Justin Ponsor just elevates the beauty of the art even more.
Overall, a very solid issue that focuses on the origins of the first Ghost Rider.
Best issue 'til here!
Awesome Read!!!!!
Wow. Best issue of the series, even though being just a one-shot. Curious to see the others 1,000,000 BC Avengers origin stories.
Fun issue, with great character and world building for the 1,000,000 BC Avengers. Looking forward to see how this ties up with modern Avengers like I expect to happen.
I was ready to drop this book after the opening arc, but this one-shot is damn good.
I get that the characters are supposed to be super smart, but they predict modern English in 1,000,000 B.C.? Aaron could have found a work-around. Oh well, still really fun.
Aaron still has it!
Avengers 7 is a filler issue yet it stands as arguably the best single issue of the series so far. I personally like Pichelli’s art over McGuinness’. Jason Aaron excels in telling stories taking place in the past (and future for that matter) and it’s pretty obvious this issue.
A very good oneshot, I really hope there will be more of them.
After a real let down of a finale in the last issue, I was happy to see some good quality come out of Avengers this week. This was a simple yet effective origin. Were there things that could have been better? Sure but, what we get is good and gives a little of the mystery about the BC Avengers to us. Sara Pichelli always kills art so I knew there would be no issues there. It looks great.
It's the ancient origin of Cave Ghost Rider. The story's told with good art and some impressive world-building. It's talented, but unsatisfying. The big hole for me is motivational: This story gives Cave Ghost Rider something to fight against but nothing to fight FOR. We run out of pages before Odin and Lady Phoenix could maybe provide that missing motivation. The revelation that Lady Phoenix happens to be a skilled telepath also sits a little uncomfortably in my brain. That ol' Phoenix Force sure do have a type. I really loved the ice-snake, though.
Solid origin story that was probably unnecessary and feels more like a filler issue more than anything.
The art is good but not Pichelli’s best work by far.
semi-interesting. art was ok. I spent half the issue thinking the boy was a girl. no such confusion with the Phoenix at the end tho :)
I thought this was pretty alright.
Good, entertainmg story, but I still think Avengers 1000000 Years BC is a ludicrous idea. Who cares??
