Avengers A.I. #2 is another great issue from Humphries and Araujo that pushes the storyline forward without feeling forced. What started as a concept that a lot of people doubted would be effective has turned into one of the most poignant series Marvel currently produces. I know that's a big claim for a series will only two issues under it's belt, but it's justified when you actually see what Humphries and Araujo deliver. Read Full Review
Humphries uses this issue to quell any doubts as to whether another Avengers title was needed, populating his panels with a fistful of Datas looking for meaning. What we didn't expect with this title was how much humour would play a part in developing the narrative. Doombot is the comedy smash of 2013"s comic book slate, especially as his recently separated head threatens to return and destroy the Jefferson Memorial in Washington. Read Full Review
Well I think Humphries' team is working. In a world where people live with computers and data, where superpowered heroes and villains are battled with gadgets and weaponry, how would a team of A.I. rise up against a villain that operates on and hijacks all kinds of technology? It's a team of robots and androids but Avenger's A.I. sure has shown that such a team can still be full of conflict and comedy and human emotions. Avengers A.I. #2 might've suffered from problematic transitioning and pacing, but I do hope it'll all get better in the next release. Read Full Review
Finally, I'm finding that it's hard to completely form an opinion on this series at the moment. So far in two issues, we've had the team being heroic, Dimitrios being evil, and Alexis being totally mysterious. Sam Humphries has me caring about the characters, but I'm still waiting to really get into the story. After that happens, I feel like I'll have a better idea of what I think of 'Avengers A.I.'. But until then, I'm down to keep reading to see what happens. Read Full Review
I'm having trouble putting my finger on why this Avengers: A.I. series isn't working for me. Read Full Review
The art is beautiful in term of both the colorization and the lines, yet the pacing, connectivity between several scenes and the introduction to several of the concepts is not explored deeply enough, creating a rather unsatisfying read. Read Full Review
I’d much rather be seeing a Mark Waid scripted series like the Age of Ultron A.I. one-shot that led into this series. However, this is definitely a “feeder” book where talent is built up. Humphries has been around for a little while, making a name for himself in the Ultimate universe, mainly. He’s been given a chance with this title and the latest incarnation of Uncanny X-Force. Neither title does much to forward the plot of the family of titles, but serves well to develop the talent associated with the book to see if they have what it takes to get to the next level.
