Guest-starring the staff & students of WOLVERINE & THE X-MEN!Because you demanded it: the flag football game between Avengers Academy and the Jean Grey School!
First things first, I loved the cover being an homage to Uncanny X-Men #100, that's pretty awesome. So, I loved everything about this issue, like I said earlier. the football game was more of a way to get everyone in one place, but the one on one conversations, like the advice Gambit gave Humberto, the tense scene with Laura and Finesse, the bro-like conversation between Mettle and Rockslide and the hilarious thing with Wolverine, Pym and Tigra alone made this a fun issue. This was the kind of light-hearted, yet very story driven issue we needed before the last issue, and it really captured the amazing job Christos Gage has done in this series with these characters. This issue was perfect as far as I'm concerned, I enjoyed it immensely and in my eyes, that makes it a perfect issue. Read Full Review
It's lighthearted, hilarious, and full of everything that's made Avengers Academy great. Christos Gage nails it again, and Tom Grummet turns in one of his best issues on the book. I'll miss Avengers Academy. Read Full Review
But overall, Avengers Academy #38 is just a blast, because it's all about characters bouncing off each other, and we comic fans love that stuff - to the point where it's slightly dangerous that we connect with these fictional people like they were our real friends, which makes us that much more upset when their book gets canceled. But Gage is such a class act that he even makes us feel better about it in the letters page - he's heartbroken that the book's going away, but he's happy to see these characters have caught on well enough that other writers want to take them on.

The entertainment value of this issue is among some of the highest I've read in a comic this year. Read Full Review
A real light comic to read that has no action and all character development. This is why we read Avengers Academy
