Full of witty dialogue and great character interactions, this is a book I cant help but love. DeConnicks writing is smart and engaging, exploring the more light-hearted version of the Avengers that newer fans know from the cinematic universe, and providing some much-needed entertainment amid the sweeping drama of its sister titles. Every character is fully-realized with his/her own distinct voices, and all of the banter is a joy to read. Casellis art is equally satisfying, and complements all the action and humor well. This often-forgotten middle child of the Avengers franchise has hit its stride with this creative team, and I have high hopes for the future. Read Full Review

That's not to say there's no deeper, emotional appeal in this issue. DeConnick offers some great material between Spider-Woman and Hulk as the two deepen their bond. This is really the first post-AvX comic to justify Hulk's return to the Avengers fold. In general the book is a celebration of the Avengers' family dynamic. It's cheerful in a way the franchise has so rarely been of late. Read Full Review

"Avengers Assemble" #11 is not a book that is going to change the world, it's not even a book that will end up on a "best of" list, but it's just good old-fashioned fun, and sometimes that's exactly what readers want and need. I am, after this first arc, officially a monthly reader of "Avengers Assemble." Go ahead and bring it, DeConnick and Caselli. I'm on board and can't wait to see what's next. Read Full Review
