THE ALL-NEW WEEKLY AVENGERS EVENT CONTINUES!
Who is the Queen of Night? What brought Nyx to wage war on the gods themselves? Witness the origin of the Avengers' latest, greatest foe!
LEGACY #711
Rated T+
Primarily backstory on the baddie, though the scenes in the present have decent action. I enjoyed learning why the villain and her spawn are disposed to cause trouble, but I do wish there had been more fighting in the present. The visuals are exceptional, leaving me wanting to see more from the artist and colorist. This was an enjoyable comic. Read Full Review
Nyx is actually a really cool villain with a profoundly resonant background, so the issue feels satisfying as it leads-in to the halfway point of the twelve segment No Road Home mini-series. The story of Nyx and her kids almost feel drawn from some end of Neil Gaimans Sandman and into a more aggressively brutal Marvel iteration of godliness. This issues pacing sets things up quite well for rising action that will doubtlessly rush through the fifth issue. Read Full Review
Telling Nyx's story in her own words gives the creators of No Road Home #4 an excuse to go as big as possible with their storytelling. It's a successful and fascinating gambit, and it recaptures the huge scale this title had at its outset. Pulling the focus so far away from the Avengers is risky, though. This series has collected its heroes, established its conflict, and now explained its antagonists. The next step must be "the heroes accomplish something meaningful," or No Road Home is in serious trouble. Read Full Review
There's nothing necessarily bad going on, but it's certainly a lot less interesting than previous weeks. Read Full Review
The origin story of Nyx and her children was interesting and enjoyable. I'm excited to continue reading this series.
An issue that shows the dark side of the Gods men worship. This dysfunctional family brought on by fear and lack of acceptance clearly has a deeper story to tell of how shunning someone can create a monster of revenge. This story has been far better than I expected and the artwork is gorgeous.
Nyx easily lifts her first MacGuffin from the Avengers, but her son encounters trouble in Nightmare's Realm. And those contemporary developments are the b-story, woven with considerable scripting artistry into Nyx's own telling of her origin. It reaches for the mythic and gets a danged good grasp on it. An artist changeup helps the effort, bringing a fresh take to the characters that balances nicely between novelty and consistency.
This issues our trio of writers reveals the origin of Nyx and her kids, and it’s pretty interesting. There is a fair amount of action and the character dynamic between Hulk/Clint/Rocket is pretty great and funny
Their backstory is kinda whatever but I really like the characters and I’m so excited for where this is going to go.
This was good. I think Nyx and her children have an interesting backstory, if a bit unoriginal. I think they're really cool looking. If anything, that's why I like them. Also, that cliffhanger was amazing. Immortal Hulk is the best thing about this series, he's just so good.
Nyx's story is good even as present day story gets lost a bit. For me this wasn't as interesting as i thought it would be. The art is nice and the story is good but i was hoping for a bit more. Hope they pick it back up next week!
