Gage characterizes the cowardly, reptilian Taskmaster and the newly enlightened Constrictor extremely well. I actually liked Vance Astro. Usually, his presence instills vomiting. Ultragirl enjoys some excellent moments. The heroes throw a party atop Avengers Tower and Avengers Initiative acts as a one stop status quo update for those who haven't been following anything in the Marvel Universe since the onslaught of Civil War. Furthermore, I actually felt good after reading Avengers Initiative. Read Full Review
As an experiment, I would dub "The Initiative" to be a success, albeit a success that had a slow start. Gage managed to maintain the unpredictability that Slott established while growing the cast substantially. This was a solid read month in and month out, even if some months its only tie to the world of the Avengers was in the title of the comic. Gage leaves the end of the series with a message looking towards the future. Based solely on the strength of the work Gage presented here, I'll be checking out "Avengers Academy." I do, however, hope that some of the other questions and open items get addressed in the meantime. Read Full Review
Don't pick this up if you don't normally read it. I'm sure if I was reading this monthly I would have really enjoyed this book, especially if I was following Siege, like everyone else. But the fact of the matter is I'm not following this book, and I'm not following Siege, so this book was enjoyable, but utterly confusing for me, even with the 1-Page catch-up in the beginning of the issue.

It's a good ending to a decent book. Read Full Review
