FEAR ITSELF TIE-IN! Trapped in the Infinite Mansion with murderous demigods, the heroes-in-training of Avengers Academy must do the unthinkable...or die! Is this the issue where the students choose evil? Find out as August delivers two issues of the series that IGN calls "the under-appreciated gem of the Avengers franchise."
To wrap this up, I'll just say that every two weeks, I get to read a comic book that is not only fun, but also contains just about every reason I can think of as to why I fell in love with the medium. Read Full Review
Without a doubt, this is my favorite piece of Fear Itself to date " smart, entertaining, thrilling, and a story that significantly advances the characters and plot of the title, using the crossover to do so in an intelligent way. Read Full Review
This continues to be the most engrossing arc of Avengers Academy yet. Let's just hope Gage doesn't wipe too many characters off the board when the action heats up in issue #18. Read Full Review
This was a good issue of this series, as usual. It continued advancing the Fear Itself story, with Absorbing Man and Titania attacking the students at their home base, while further developing the characters. I didn't mention in the review the scenes where all of the kids were trying to cope with the stuff they saw in DC, but that just added to what makes this series so great. I actually care about these characters, all of them, which is a VERY rare thing for me. If I had a complaint, it would be that this issue was pretty much setting up the events of next issue. Titania and Absorbing Man only arrived at Infinite Avengers Mansion towards the end of this comic, which is when the action picked up. But the character development prior to that made up for the late action, and has me eagerly anticipating what happens next issue(which comes out in two short weeks!) Read Full Review
Avengers Academy #17Posted: Thursday, August 11, 2011By: Matthew Z. Rios Christos GageSean Chen, Jeromy Cox (c), Joe Caramagna (l)Marvel I love Avengers Academy, mostly because I love young, teen superheroes. Now, now, wait -- lemme stop you there. Matthew Z. Rios is no pervert perverts don't read Avengers Academy. I've always had an affinity for teen heroes. Books like Young Justice and Teen Titans put the fun back into comics that it's more often than not lacking. That's mostly due to the fact that younger heroes haven't been yet jaded to the reality of the superhero life. They know all about every crisis and war that's happened, but they haven't experienced the intensity and anguish -- to have friends and comrades die and to lose the naivety of heroics. But with the advent of Fear Itself, those realities are about to hit home quickly. Read Full Review
