Rated T+
It remains to be seen how strong both of these titles are away from each other, but so far this crossover has more than delivered for both teams. Four issues in and it's avoided dragging its feet, instead it's getting better the more it unfolds. Read Full Review
Again, it's cool to see these two teams crossing over but I'm already ready to get back to that Champions-led storyline. No more features till The Champions take care of their loose ends. Read Full Review
Instead of a pivotal turning point, this crossover has been largely forgettable so far. Read Full Review
Unfortunately, Part 4 of this crossover is the weakest in this arc. It's too fast and too much in such a short amount of time. There isn't enough for real character moments and this is probably the time it was needed most as Vision comes face to face with his altered daughter for the first time. Read Full Review
Yes, two issues into Legacy and the one Marvel book I love the Champions has lost me. Read Full Review
I have not been one to fight back on Marvel's launch into diversity. Most of the Legacy characters suit me fine. I was a little sad to see Viv replaced with a human self though. Seeing a teenager that had to deal with the fact that she was so unlike everyone else as a synthizoid was very compelling. It also created a nice Vision counter part for the Champions. It is hard to say if Viv becoming human is a permanent state since solicitations seem to imply otherwise, but if this is the new norm something could be made of the fact that Viv seemed less interested in becoming more human like her father. She always seemed curious about humans, sure, but never really wanting for the experience. She even turned off her emotions after the loss of her more
I thought this issue was pretty good. It leaves the stakes high and poor Viv! The story could be a little more fine tuned but, I enjoyed what we got. The art still remains a low point and this series would benefit with a different artist. Overall, a fun read that brings us closer to the finale of this crossover.
Weakest issue of the world’s collide crossover so far but still a ton of promise for parts 5 and 6. Waid is doing a great job but Humberto Ramos is lagging behind the Avengers series artist
A little quick on the end. Both time came at the same time in the fortress while one was in this world much longer.
Ok maybe Hulk calculation was that precise. I love the new Viv, even if she will lost all her power, and that we will see her less or no more. That make a very good drama moment, Falcon are more chance than Viv.
I wonder who this time the High evolutionary fear. The last time (In new warriors that was the celestials who didn't came at all ^^)
I believe his ending wasn't really one (Like Missy in Dr who season 8, I believe it's a teleporter) ^^
Cover : 1/2 Good but not that good. Even if that in relation with the new statu of Viv, in the cover she's still a android (If not the Preview will have spoiled more
Viv's a human now, the High Evolutionary gets beat, there's still more heroing to do. In all the crush and hoo-ha, Mark Waid thoroughly lost the thread of strongly-voiced team collaboration that made the Champions special. This is just a nigh-random assembly of Avengers and Junior Avengers taking turns reciting alternating "smart guy" and "tough guy" lines on the road to saving the Earth from an utterly clichéd doom. Even Humberto Ramos's art can only do so much to ennoble this blah story, and everything in this issue beyond the dramatic change in Viv's status quo pops out of your head like a disposable turkey thermometer as soon as you close the book.
What a shame. Ramos delivers, as usual, the Visions have sweet moments. But Champions is about the team and their connection, and none of that is evident here.
