    While its guest star may have a fleeting presence, Avengers #22 is a fun heist that manages to push the ongoing story forward. It's also a reminder that this is one of Marvel's most underrated titles. Read Full Review

    Karami delivers some compelling visuals throughout the issue. The visual style is interesting, but didnt really connect with me as far as the look of the characters. Read Full Review

    And then theres the fact that Black Cat is fashionably late for her guest appearance in the issue. Shes right there on the cover--the ONLY character on the cover who appears in person and she doesnt even show-up until right around the end of the issue. So its a bit of a disappointment that shes not playing a bigger part in the outset of the multi-issue story. Its too bad that she couldnt have been brought-in a little bit earlier.  Read Full Review

    The Comicbook Dispatch - StoryBabbler

    Feb 05, 2025

    Avengers #22 gets back on to the main plot with a fun story to do it. While its not exactly new to them, seeing the Avengers engage in a heist is a little fun and changes things up a little. Some of it is a little too over the top, but its not so bad seeing some characters out of their element, thankfully because its part of their plan and not bad writing. Other than that, the cover kind of spoils the big reveal at the end. Read Full Review

    The one thing going for this issue is that the characters seem like they're having fun, but most of it just silly. What the hell is the Black Cat doing is space? It just doesn't make any sense. And what was with Tony and Sam being the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion respectively? And with an umbrella in space? WTF. The art was good and like I said, the characters where having fun, so I did as well, but in the end, it's just silly. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/PpZnKwHTmXw

    Fun start of a heist story and looking forward to Felicia being in the next few issues as Mackay seems to be at his best writing her. On the other hand, Scarlet Witch constantly talking in the third person and self flossing was just pain full to read.

    I liked Farid Karami's art much better than that of regular artist Valerio Schiti, but that's about the only positive thing I can say about this issue. This title is just not fun. There's no synergy, no magic, even when heavyweights like Storm and the Scarlet Witch are battling it out. This issue also suffers from the same problem I see in many Marvel titles lately: there's no arc of suspense, the issue just ends at some point. I started reading Avengers because of Storm, but honestly it's such a bore - I might as well drop it.
