Avengers: Tech-On is a lot of fun. It has Power Rangers vibes right down to the suits, but also the epic nature of the villain. Read this one for an alternate take on the events post Infinity Gauntlet, and the promise of exploring the complexities of these heroes and who they are apart from their powers. Read Full Review

Avengers: Tech-On #1 is a fun comic. There's a popcorn entertainment aspect to it that it leans in to. While it's clearly a tie-in to a toy line, it still delivers a lot of heart and emotion and remembers the characters are what's important. Add in some solid artwork, this is a series that screams summer enjoyment. Read Full Review

If you are a fan of the Avengers and have time and money to spend on this then go right ahead, everyone else maybe wait for something else to come along. Read Full Review

But even setting aside cultural sensitivity issues, with the central premise not coming to the fore until the final page, Avengers: Tech-On #1 is running on nothing but wasted potential. Read Full Review

I liked this installment, very entertaining full of action and now that the mutant powers have been eliminated our heroes will not be left with their hands tied, for that they have Ironman

Red Skull uses Infinity MacGuffins to de-power all the world's superheroes. The solution is (eventually) sentai-style Stark power armor for everybody. The cynical reaction is to say that the artist is 200-300% more invested in this than the author. But a more charitable take is that this simplistic script makes a perfectly adequate vehicle for delivering some gorgeous visuals.

Personal anecdote digression: Whenever a comics writer unironically puts "I think not!" in their dialogue, I remember an ancient Dave Barry column about his son playing Masters of the Universe. Every fight ended with the boy declaring, "I think not!" in his deepest 6-year-old He-Man voice and then using the He-Man figure to knock the Skeletor figure across the room.

I mean, this was fine. I don't know what this is supposed to be.

So what are my thoughts for this first issue? I like it. The premise, as I’ve said, is nothing we haven’t seen before, however I do see an attempt on Marvel’s part to branch out and tap into a wider market. I can’t fault them for that. I don’t necessarily think they’re going about it correctly, but perhaps these are growing pains. For a company that has existed 80 years. A company which used to have a Merry Multitude of fans upon which they depended to help determine which books saw long, successful runs with multiple writers, artists etc. Now, unfortunately, we have a company swinging wildly in a dark room hoping, desperately, to land a hit.

Combine a lesser Infinity Gauntlet with a lesser House of M done by a tone-deaf writer who fails at understanding the allure of Sentai action and this is what you get. Jim Zub continues to prove what a hack he is by getting this dud of a book and somehow making it worse than it sounds! At least this isn’t a book he takes over and runs into the ground, but is just his own to fail at!
