The Lost One stalks our world, the Beyonder watches from orbit and the Avengers prepare to battle...the Bootleg Avengers! Six ordinary people, gifted with amazing powers and abilities they neither earned nor (frankly) deserve, seek to replace Earth's Mightiest Heroes at LITERALLY the worst possible time. And when the Ivory Kings show up to pass judgment on the Beyonder's last, desperate ploy to keep his race from being wiped out, things - amazingly - go rapidly downhill.
Rated T+
As had been the case with Landys All-Out Avengers, the writer is clearly planning things in a way that could really turn into something later on. There are clearly plans that involve bigger themes and a more extensive plot. The fourth issue in the current series doesnt feel like it has the kind of momentum it would need to turn out as satisfying as All-Out Avengers. With Landys preceding Avengers mini-series, there was an intriguing plot construction that seemed to be leading somewhere. With Beyond, Landy seems to be a bit more directionless than he was with the previous series. Read Full Review
Avengers Beyond simply doesn't justify its own existence and is a mini-series that you can easily avoid. Read Full Review
In short, this number was much better than the previous ones, even so, it continues to present inconsistencies with the current canon that Marvel has tried to plan, but going to positive points, Greg's art is still beautiful, especially when it comes to representing to the Ivory Kings.
I don't mind the writing here. I think the story could be better executed but whatever. The art is atrocious. Derek Landy had an unsinkable titanic, and Greg Land is the iceberg, holy shit.

I like Greg Land's art, but this is a wasted issue. It's just the Avengers vs. the fake Avengers. I have no idea why. I don't even remember them being introduced in the last issue. The only element of the story that moves forward is the Beyonder being stripped of his powers and falling toward Earth, through the bubble. It will be wrapping up soon.
Though there's a little meta commentary about racism within the issue, leaving Black Panther off the cover feels genuinely racist.
