Hats go off to Dennis Hopeless, Kev Walker, Tigh Walker, and Jean-Francois Beaulieu for sticking with this to the bitter end. This is a story which should be told and had to be told. Where these characters go from here is unknown, but one thing for certain is that their place in the Marvel Universe is now cemented for anything to happen. Read Full Review
Tigh Walker returns to finish out the series. Of the book's various artists, he's the most adept at replicating Kev Walker's distinctive style. Tigh's work is a bit more angular and stylized than before, but adept at conveying the tension and emotion and elation of the story as the battle races to its climax. Read Full Review
A fitting ending to the title. Read Full Review
The writing is a bit saccharine and the conclusion is fueled by a pretty big deus ex machina, but Dennis Hopeless and Tigh Walker send Avengers Undercover off in style. Read Full Review
Avengers Undercover and Avengers Arena have both been surprising highlights in Marvel's lineup - consistently good comics. Yet the conclusion to this story doesn't live up to what came before it. There are engaging characters and ideas present, but not enough space for most of them to do anything memorable. The series may have been forced to conclude earlier than planned, but that doesn't make this rushed finale any more satisfying. Read Full Review
So ultimately, as much as I wanted to love this, Undercover comes to an end in an unsatisfying fashion. I don't really blame anyone involved for it, as it really feels like a book that had plans, but didn't have the time to execute them properly. It's an issue that wanted to tie up every loose end, but in the process, it ended with more of a thud than a bang. Read Full Review
Subtracting .5 because the are was not so good, I wish it was better to accompany the fantastic send off of this underrated series.
I was really hoping Kev Walker would be back for the last issue, but Tigh Walker is ok and portrays the comedy in this issue well. Hopeless's writing is spot on, I was worried the series would end too soon, but I couldn't ask for a better ending. This will be a great trade to recommend. I hope Hopeless comes back to these characters again.
A satisfying conclusion to everything that started in Avengers Arena 1. We met 16 superhero teens in Avengers Arena 1, and as of Avengers Undercover 10, Nico, Cullen, Cammi, Anachronism, and Hazmat are the only ones still intact. Mettle died. Red Raven died. Juston died. Kid Briton died. Nara died. Apex died. Reptil died. X-23 went missing. Darkhawk went missing. Death Locket became a villain. Chase got a hole through the chest courtesy of Locket but Nico healed him but he’s still in a coma. What a great 28 issues Dennis Hopeless. I still hate you for killing Mettle and Reptil but I love you just the same
