Have you been enjoying Jed Mackay's Avengers? I have, and I think it's right up there with Bendis and Waid's Avengers. And I am curious on your thoughts on Blood Hunt as well, since I'm surprisingly enjoying this event
BLOOD HUNT TIE-IN! NEW TEAM LINEUP DEBUTS!
With the current Avengers tied up and under siege during BLOOD HUNT, Captain Marvel calls for aid - and who better to assemble a new team of Avengers than Steve Rogers? Captain America gathers the forces of Quicksilver, Hawkeye, Hercules and Hazmat to take on the hordes of vampires attacking all over the world. And when they encounter an organized army of vampires in uniform led by a surprise villain, it gets personal!
Rated T+
Avengers #14 is a new lineup of old friends. MacKay brings some classic characters into the comic to fill the void whilst the rest of the team is needed elsewhere. MacKay is ubiquitous across this event, and his ability to write several books simultaneously deserves immense commendation. Read Full Review
Villa delivers thrilling visuals throughout the issue. The art is beautifully detailed and filled with great action. It does a fantastic job of capturing the frenetic energy of the story. Read Full Review
Avengers #14 assembles a new grouping of heroes to face-off against the undead in an exhilarating issue filled with fun character moments and well-choreographed action. Read Full Review
Avengers #14 is how you do a tie-in book: it builds on the events of Blood Hunt while also telling its own standalone story. If you're reading Blood Hunt this is also worth picking up I'd love to see more of this team once the vampire invasion has passed. Read Full Review
I went into this issue without high hopes due to the fact that it's a tie-in to an event that I am not reading. However, excellent character work and fantastic visuals pulled me through and kept me entertained. I didn't care that I didn't know the whole story, it's just cool to see The Avengers tearing through vampires in fun and inventive ways! I'm really looking forward to the next few issues in this event, and I may just have to give Blood Hunt a chance after all… Read Full Review
I have to say I'm liking this ad hoc team of Avengers Captain America has assembled. It's a cool way to give some under-utilized characters a spotlight, and remind readers of their existence. Read Full Review
Plot
This comic serves as support for the Blood Hunt event, where the Avengers fell under the attack of BloodCoven and Captain Marvel asks Captain America to assemble a new team that defends the planet from the attack of Vampires.
Steve Rogers summons Hercules, Kate Bihop/Hawkeye, Quicksilver and Hazmat, who manage to mesh as a legal team and head out to find out about an organized group of vampires.
This group are Vampires-Nazis, who are attacking with powerful weapons...like a Helicarrier, this team of Avengers faces an organized attack of Vampires. It's always great to see Rogers leading his team where he must balance his soldier skills with that of the hero and Avenger.

I was really interested to see how this new team gelled together with the main team being featured in the main Blood Hunt miniseries. I think everyone here is written well, something MacKay is no stranger to doing, especially Steve. I think he has a really solid grasp on the character and I'm looking forward to seeing how things go with the next two issues. Additionally, I'm very glad to see Hercules and Kate on the roster as well. Neither of them have gotten super prominent roles recently, so this is a nice change, even if it's just during Blood Hunt.
With a whole new team, this book takes on a very different vibe than the first 14 issues. It's good, but different. I think MacKay has a great voice for Steve Rogers in particular.
The art is a bit iffy and fine, but I like the story so far with Captain America leading his own Avengers to deal with Darkforce and Vampires.
Nice to have a break from the regular team and I actually found this team to be more fun compared to how flat the team feels in the MacKay's main story. Great to see Hazmat starting to show up more often as I was a big fan of Avengers Academy.
Art: 3/5
Story: 2.5/5
Total: 5.5/10
The dialogue and writing are unbelievably bad; the conversations between characters often feel forced and unnatural, to the point where it sometimes hurts the flow of the action. It’s hard to stay engaged when the writing is this poor.
The story itself is mediocre at best. It lacks the depth and intrigue needed to pull readers in. The characters feel underdeveloped and one-dimensional, making it difficult to care about their fates or the outcome of the plot. Overall, this comic fails to captivate or entertain, leaving much to be desired.
