Chaos magic at Mach 5! Blur, the swiftest mortal alive, must win a race through the mind-bending Dread Dimension in order to save his soul from the hypersonic hexes of the Speedster Supreme, the Silver Witch.

Rated T+
Heroes Reborn #3 features a chaotic-yet-entertaining story that continues to explore the different dynamics of the Avengers and the Squadron Supreme. The next issue will feature Doctor Spectrumthe Squadron's Green Lantern analoguegoing up against Rocket Raccoon and that sounds like a comic I HAVE to read. Read Full Review
Heroes Reborn #3 is the best release so far in the event. But, like the previous issue, at times it feels like a tie-in than the main story. But, what's presented is really good, so there's good and bad with the release. Overall, the event is a bit frustrating in how it's presented and the pacing but we are at least getting some solid moments within all of the distraction. Read Full Review
Both artists delivered some great visuals. Vicentini does amazing work with the fantastical elements of the Blur story and I loved the character centered art in the Echo story. Read Full Review
An issue that's good, but not great. Jason Aaron's been making solid A's on this mini, but unfortunately, this issue gets a C+. Read Full Review
If you're interested in finding out any specific details of this event, you won't find them in this week's installment of HEROES REBORN. However, you will get a rapid-fire, crash course in a superhero named the Blur. If you are interested in speedsters, this issue is for you. Otherwise, you may just want to wait until HEROES REBORN #7 until we hopefully get to the real purpose and meaning of this event. Read Full Review
Despite his best efforts, Jason Aaron pulls off a decently fun comic. Read Full Review
This issue looks into the hectic life of Blur. Like Blur, the story was all over the place and didn't land the way it should have. Read Full Review
Another issue of ‘Heroes Reborn' that relegates the main story to the indignity of a back-up strip. Who's idea was this, because it doesn't fly with this reader? Read Full Review
The result is a pretty book"the art is nice"that feels like it's taking up space rather than telling a story. Read Full Review
I heard this guy has 48 TVs can you believe that?
This was fun.
Another, technically, one off issue about the Squadron Supreme. Specifically the Blur this time.
While it plays little part in the grand story, it is a fun issue in a vacuum.
The idea of the Flash, but with Magic-based powers is fun. and his rouge gallery are some interesting combinations/reimaginations as well.
The art is colorful and dynamic, fitting of a Flash book.
Blur vs. Silver Witch comes off half-satisfying to me. Lots of insight into Blur, little into Wanda -- though she gets some killer one-liners. I was more impressed with the B strip, which throws out an intriguing possible origin for the AU. I'm pretty sure it's a red herring, but it's fun to think about. The art starts good and gets better; writing throughout is at least acceptable with a few nice turns of phrase.
At this point I am done expecting a proper narrative and just taking this for what it is: fun nonsense that's trying to make sense. This one actually did better and made me want to continue with the story even as we are missing too much information. This could have benefited from being a 12 story arc on the Avengers book instead of a cash grab that it is. Federico Vicentini is phenomenal here and I loved his art on ASM. The art made the narrative so much better. McGuiness, Morales and Wilson on the back up are tight as ever.
This issue continues the path of HR as a series of self-contained books with only the backups moving the event forward. It's shaping up to be this event's biggest strenght and weakness at the same time.
Still very fun to read though, with good art to boot, but I can see the gimmmick starting to wear thin and some of the weird moments making people scratch their head in a 'I don't get it' way.
I mean at this point I'm not going to expect anything great moving forward but, its enjoyable and good looking enough to want to keep coming back. I like the focus on the squadron but, I wish the focused more on the blade stuff moving forward.
Strange that there want really a connection to the first two issues.
Great art but this feels like a tie in issue that only the last few pages progress a story. Continuing my disappointment in the Aaron's Avengers run and patiently waiting for the next writer to give this book life again.
Really bad. What happened to Jason Aaron’s plotting skills?
His Avengers run pretty much collapsed around issues 15 to 20.
The Squadron Supreme story was seeded pretty early and this is it? There is no plot but one shot issues featuring members of the Squadron.
Awful
this number was terrible
There are few interesting points in this issue, like the appearance of Captain America, but it feels somewhat empty.
This is why people now pirate comic books . Your charged $4.99 for a lazy rip off of a DC character with three actual pages of story which is an after thought at the end of the issue.
This issue is basically filler. The art is bland and not consistent. The dialogue feels clunky, and I dont care for Blur and Silver Witch. Literally, this could be a tie-in, why is this in the main title? I understand its to build up characters, but at least make them likeable.
I thought this series was off to a good start and I was enjoying it, but this issue was awful. Uneventful story and horrible, horrible art just don't do it for me.
