AVENGERS ASSEMBLE: THE FINAL CHAPTER!
The grand, oversized finale of the most epic battle in the history of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Along with being the final issue of Jason Aaron's five-year AVENGERS run, this features an all-star cavalcade of artists, a veritable smorgasbord of Avengers and a few last emotional gut punches in the Mighty Marvel Manner.
Rated T+
Avengers Assemble: Omega #1 ends the only way Aaron's run could have, with epic clashes, big ideas, and a finale that reminds us these stories will continue. It's farewell but also hello, as he establishes enough endings for multiple characters so that writers can use what they like or leave it behind as they please. It's a finale only a great storyteller could leave behind, as the characters will come and go in new and exciting ways, and only Aaron has come to an end here. Read Full Review
Not everybody makes it home, but the plot avoids the pitfalls of crossover madness to focus on the personal moments and the stakes that feel most consequential. When all is said and done, nearly every Avenger has their moment, and that's really what I came here to see. Read Full Review
There are a handful of emotional moments that may hit hard for the more invested readers, but the rest of Avengers Assemble: Omega does not make for a thrilling finale, or a smooth transition into the team's next era. Read Full Review
Avengers Assemble Omega #1 finally concludes not only this storyline but Jason Aaron's entire Avengers run. Unfortunately, it's pretty underwhelming in most of the writing, particularly with Mephisto's motives and goal, along with how abruptly the villains are defeated so the Avengers could all basically fight a cosmic flood which feels aimless until the solution finally shows up. The only good things are the art as always from all the various artists in this issue. And the more heartfelt send-offs that Jason Aaron gives to some of the characters and especially the artists he worked with as he tries to end the story on a respectful note. Read Full Review
Aaron's Avengers run was forgettable while it was still ongoing and this finale doesn't do much to increase its stock. Read Full Review
The action is utterly ridiculous. Juvenile, really, in the way it tries to raise the stakes by amplifying and multiplying standard Marvel tropes. Multi-Mjolnirs, plural Phoenixes, variants galore, etc.
And this isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the complete lack of sympathetic characters (subjectively speaking) makes it hard for me to approach it with the proper, silly attitude.
The prose and structure are decent, and the art looks as good as can be expected for a collaborative carousel job. There's a fair amount of humor and (hypothetically) heartwarming character work. But because the past issues haven't made me care about any of these characters (or, worse, made me care and then made me not care), my rating's stra more
Not terrible by any means, but a bit disappointing considering this has been an almost 70-issue run. This is a mixed bag of good moments and bad moments. A lot of this felt a bit rushed, even Robbie's "death." The last few pages felt like everyone's stories being "wrapped up" (until we get MacKay's new run), but it just didn't feel as satisfying as it had the potential to be. However, I'm very glad Robbie isn't truly dead and I really hope we can get more of him in a book very soon, as he's been one of my favorite characters in Aaron's Avengers.
I will never buy or read another Jason Aaron comic. After investing 6 years into this we have a weightless run that promised so much and yet never delivered what it thought it was delivering. I tried and gave it every chance to matter but it will never capture what it did in those early 10 issues or the 50th issue which were the high points that sucked me in and strung me along. Aaron mistakes big spectacle and multiverse explosions with amalgamized characters as substance worth following but the many throw away stories, throw away characters and fake outs stood on shaky ground of a story that really had no real substances or characters worth investing in especially in the last 25 issues of Avengers and Avengers Forever. The only bright spo more
Just bland mediocre amd forgettable event from Marvel. Inconsistent Art amd bland action. Let's hope jed Mackay avengers is better
Jason Aaron's run on Avengers felt like it had so much potential when it first started. The expansiveness of its second arc promised a really interesting plotline of various factions vying for power in the Marvel universe... We didn't really get that in the end. It feels like all of that was shunted in favor of multiversal, high octane nonsense. Aaron's letter in the back talks about his mission with this book, especially when COVID hit, and I totally get what he's saying, but I don't think this run was successful, especially when each arc of the biggest thing started to simply bleed into the next arc of the next biggest thing. By the time we get to this issue, every solution feels like an ass-pull and unimportant. This is something I criti more
6 years...I can't believe it...6 wasted years, and all that money...Some of the art was good in this issue but apart from that...
This run single-handedly made me hate the multiverse
