If you're hankering to fill the void left by Young Avengers, this is a book to watch. Read Full Review

Bottom Line: This is a good example of a well-done comic book. I care about what these characters have gone through, how it has shaped them into who they are now, and am anxious to see how it all plays out. There is no foregone conclusion to the events and characters in this title, and even if you disagree, there are hints (such as Constrictor and Masque's conversations) that there is still more to be revealed. The sheer amount of stuff going on in a “villain city” is a bit over the top, and I do think the book is still suffering from some interrupted momentum when shifting from Arena to Undercover, but this issue shows a lot of upward trajectory.

A solid issue for Avengers Undercover. Questions are being answered while leaving room for more to be asked along the way. There is a real stake in the situation they find themselves in and it's good to have those defining choices forced upon them at such an early stage of the book rather than drag it out. I want to now see just what happens when they reach that point of no return, and who will actually be able to go against the temptations that already seem to have gotten the better of a few.

The series may be slow to build towards its ongoing status quo, but the benefit to this approach is a methodical, believable examination of how Niko, Chase, Cullen, and the rest could actually be tempted by villainy. Read Full Review

AVENGERS UNDERCOVER is a great book, especially if you're looking for something that's a bit depressing and isn't just good guys battling bad guys. This issue and series deals with a lot more than stopping the Wrecking Crew from robbing a bank. It deals with character who were forced to do some terrible things and how it has affected their lives afterwards. If you didn't like the first issue, chances are you'll not be too enthused with this one as well; however, there's a lot of meat to this book and one you should try out. Overall, I highly recommend this issue. Read Full Review

"Avengers Undercover" #2 is another good issue, and so far it's taking the "What happens next?" hook and running with it in a way that should not only appeal to the readers of "Avengers Arena" but also hopefully bring in some new readers. This is a book that's on the right track. Read Full Review

I had to cut Avengers Arena when slimming by pull list last year, but I'm hoping to keep Avengers Undercover this time because this is great and I can't wait to see where it goes!
