WAR FOR THE WASTELANDS!
Tony Stark, the Invincible Ant-Man. Robbie Reyes, a Ghost Rider unlike any other from across the multiverse, still changing, still becoming what he was always meant to be. A Deathlok who refuses to die. A brutally two-fisted Wonder Man. A half-built Vision. The Infinity Thing. Together, they're all that passes for Earth's Mightiest Heroes on a world overrun by the Black Skull. But on this day, a day unlike any other, they'll have to be enough.
Rated T+
Alternative Avengers assemble! Ghost Rider is still a prisoner of the Black Skull and Tony Stark and friends aim to rescue him, whether he wants to be rescued or not. Another fast-paced, dynamic issue from writer Jason Aaron and artist Aaron Kuder. Read Full Review
Expect a lot of crazy action, creative twists on heroes you're familiar with, and a heroic breakout in Avengers Forever #3. If you're a Marvel fan there isn't a better way to cut loose and escape our reality, and the 616 reality at that. Read Full Review
Avengers Forever #3introduces a wild new team of Earth's Mightiest Heroes as they launch a rescue mission for Robbie Reyes and Deathlok. With the end of the story upping the stakes, it's a good thing that the next issue will reintroduce a trio of characters from another comic Aaron wrote. Read Full Review
Great art and a story that starts off strong, introducing more heroes of Earth-818 and an amazing move by Ghost Rider, but the ending really bugs me. Read Full Review
I'm not sure that I'm really into the strange vibe this comic gives off, but it will certainly appeal to some. Read Full Review
This book just delivers for me and I'm onboard the multi-verse shenanigans even if some things are over the top but it works for me. I can't say that about many Aaron books lately but I remember the Avengers main book's first 10 issues were great before things went off track. It helps to keep that in mind and just enjoy the stupid @#$% coming at us. Especially when Aaron Kuder is the artist. Fantastic art and his work has never looked better. I think that Cam Smith and Scott Hanna's inks over him are seriously the tightest inking I have seen in ages. The lines are perfect. Then Guru eFX delivers outstanding colors from the many different skin tones to Ben Grim's technicolor rocks. I love it when artists gel well together!
It comes across as it should, as a noisy, splashy action extravaganza. Rock-solid art (both in character designs and in execution of the action scenes) helps sell it; there's even some good dialogue.
But it remains (for me at least) a fundamentally stupid story. I single out this Tony Stark variant as particularly annoying -- too many alcoholism jokes and too much goofiness cribbed from MCU Scott Lang.
Probably the weakest issue so far. Turns out when you make a comic about a bunch of custom action figures and how hard you throw them at each other, when it comes time for conclusions, cool action figures don't lead to climatic satisfaction. But it's a fun book. I like to compare this series and Avengers proper to what Snyder's Metal saga would've been if it were actually fun, and I can't help but feel that the hardest here.
This one was pretty good in most parts bit, it just has these parts that just seem so corny. Overall, pretty decent.
This was okay. It’s to see the heroes get a bit of a win after such dark circumstances but it seemed so easy. It seems like at anytime prior, infinity thing could have just walked in there and destroyed the bad guys. Or even wonder man. There was even a mention by wonder man about why they didn’t do it earlier… that’s a good question that goes unanswered. The remaining heroes had so much power, how did they even let it get so bad? Maybe there will be more explanation but I doubt it. Also, I’m still not clear as to why red skull would be so powerful with just a symbiote. In the end, after 3 issues I’m just struggling to care still.
