Avengers #15 is a prime example of how to do a tie-in: it's got plenty of action, it ties into the main story, and it still stands on its own. Though the next issue will end this story arc, I can't wait to see how it sets up the upcoming Avengers Assemble series. Read Full Review

Villa offers amazing art throughout the issue. The visuals are beautifully detailed and perfectly capture the rousing action and thrills of the story. Read Full Review

Captain America vs. Baron Blood is a fun fight to watch, but the real star of the issue is Kate Bishop. Read Full Review

Avengers #15 lets its ragtag cast of heroes shine in this gratifying, well-drawn, vampire-slaying adventure. Read Full Review

Another fun tie-in issue with Blood Hunt. Villa's art was a little rough on certain pages, but I still liked it overall. As for MacKay, I, once again, think he nailed the characters. I could totally read a Hercules miniseries from him after reading how he writes him here. I'm looking forward to seeing how this wraps up.

Liked this way better than the previous. In The Avengers Mackay is good at creating separated spaces for each character and showing them off. I think we got a little bit of that here. It feels like there is a special place for all the characters here and most of the time it feels pretty natural. There is just that cooky quartet feeling of so many strong, extreme personalities at times clashing, albeit way less toxic and more fun, while at the same time, the direct contrasts, show their definite characteristics. I like how Mackay writes Cap, but with him and Baron Blood, it can get a bit stale and their interaction here seemed overlong, still, there is a good boiling synergy between the Cap's plot and the rest's. But when the team is involved is better, even if the action and the whole writing tactics are simple and sometimes too much on the nose, it gets more energetic. When Cap's plot transitions to that of the Avengers, there is a a boom to it, but personally, I feel like Villa does not sell it as well, as it could have been. Admittedly it's a book about vampire nazis, the comic gets how unserious, ridiculous, and bombastic all that is, so the tone reflects that, and because of it being on the blunter side and a little bit sloppier in its pacing, it's not a mortal sin. Just there really isn't much to chew on here, besides the strong and direct characterizations and at times well-connected structure, but even in those aspects, it's not that special for me at least. I have similar sentiments about the art. Personally, I wanted way more out of this arc because I love the characters involved, but I am not too disappointed either. it's just a B movie for me. more

The story was so generic that I just felt like I was going threw the motions bored reading but there were some good banter/character moments but not as good as the previous issue.
