• New students! New staff! New West Coast Academy! • A Classic Avenger is murdered…and everyone’s suspect! • Captain America, Luke Cage, and Hawkeye guest-star to…fight the Avengers Academy?
Whew, that was A LOT to take in! Let's see, for starters, this series is awesome. The addition of Hawkeye and the new students? If there was a word past awesome, that would be what this series is now. Seriously, there is no flaw in this series... The characterizations are perfect, the art is great, the writing is topnotch, this has to be the most complete series I read. So going forward we have the “murder” investigation surrounding Jocasta, the real Reptil being trapped in the future while his evil future self tries to take advantage of the confusion surrounding Jocasta's “death”, new students AND Hawkeye!!! In other words, the future looks GREAT. This is a fantastic jumping on point for any comic fans who haven't yet given this series a chance... It's only $2.99 and it's worth every single penny.

With this new era beginning for the series, Christos Gage and Sean Chen now has a new setting, a new cast of characters, and a great start to this second phase of the book. And the decision to start it with a really cool mystery and all too familiar villains was definitely a wise decision. Read Full Review
It's a shame this series doesn't have higher sales because it was been consistent quality since issue #1. This is a pretty decent place to hop on as the Academy is starting a new direction and I'm sure it'll be awesome. Read Full Review
I think the comic is a great concept, but please, give us a little less angst and some heroes I can cheer for. Read Full Review
With lots of good character development and plenty of potential for future stories, Avengers Academy will be one of Marvels hottest titles. Read Full Review
As a jumping-on point, this certainly works. It's kicking off a major storyline, it's settling the cast into a new status quo, and it's bringing in both old favorites and new characters. "Avengers Academy" is one of Marvel's most consistently enjoyable titles, and if this issue is anything to go by, it's going to stay that way well into the future. Read Full Review
New characters are brought into the fold and the ending will make you want to come back for more. Read Full Review
Avengers Academy doesn't ease perfectly into the post-Fear Itself landscape, but it shows plenty of promise. Seasoned readers will sympathize with the main cast, feeling mistrustful and wary of the new characters and what they'll bring to the series. It's up to Gage to bring the magic all over again.

A lot of the character work this issue is very nicely handled, especially the awkward not-quite-sex scene and Finesse's obvious dismay at Julie's new role as Quicksilver's assistant, but the new characters barely get any dialogue and no character, reminding me of the old 'Defenders For A Day' storyline.

I live the addition of Lightspeed and White Tiger and how the series still focuses on the core 5, but why so many part time students. There must have been 30 in this issue and I only recognized Spider Girl and Prodigy.
