With the Multiverse stories being all the rage at the moment the Avengers one does seem to be coming along well and I would recommend this one if you are into the character of Captain America as there a bunch of different versions of him on display here. Read Full Review

I actually think Avengers Forever #7 is a great example of episodic storytelling in a serialized setting, especially by modern comics standards. It feeds into the ongoing story Duggan and Kuder have been telling though not made clear until the endbut also stands on its own enough that you could read this and then ignore anything before or after it. Though this arc of the series has apparently been indulging itself with the multiverse of it all, its hard to complain when an issue like this is as fun as it is. Read Full Review

An already crowded story gets even more crowded and I'm tired just thinking about it. That said, it's a well-drawn issue that surprised me as a reader, so I'll still recommend it. Read Full Review

Avengers Forever #7 is really not my jam. Read Full Review

This issue really captured the essence of Captain America as a character, through all sorts of different forms. It's actually really clever. I just wish every issue had this much thought put into it.

I found myself surprisingly invested in this story. The main Avengers title has been really boring lately and the Avengers Forever has kind of been on par for boring with the main. This issue had me re-reading immediately after, the sign of a good comic. I always enjoy Kuders art, he is a good sequential story teller, and there was a Steve Rogers dog. Good times.

This book's scope is way too big but this issue works. You know where we're going but it was well done especially with Aaron Kuder's art. Jason Aaron can be tedious sometimes but I have to enjoy the little things and hope he makes it all mash well at some point.

It's a simple, solid execution of a *very* simple pitch. The art is strong and the script is tight and speedy. There are some good jokes. It's aggressively not deep, but it's fun in a popcorn-y kind of way.

I nearly rated it into the basement of "good comics" territory. Then The Question hit me:

Is there anything LESS "Captain America" than kidnapping someone and forcing them to be a soldier without their knowledge or consent?

The twist ending practically slaps me in the face with that question. There's ways to address it that would satisfy me; I might even be thrilled with an inventive, thoughtful examination -- and it need not be a long one. But I know it's never gonna get a moment's thought from this author. And that's how a comic slips under the "fun stupid" bar and turns "insulting stupid" for me. more
