Together they ended the Kree/Skrull war, defeated Dr. Doom in his Secret War and even endured their own civil war between Hyperion and Nighthawk, but now the Squadron Supreme of America faces their greatest challenge yet: a mysterious new group of troublemakers called the Avengers.
40 PGS./Rated T+
Heroes Reborn #7 shows us that the Squadron Supreme of America are relatable people right before they go against the true heroes of the universe; the Avengers! Read Full Review
Kuder delivers some great art throughout the issue. The scope of the world is captured brilliantly. McGuinness tells a more intimate story and delivers some great atmosphere and details throughout. Read Full Review
A fantastic ending (?) to this series and an even better to the events that are coming. Pay special attention to the backup story, as it contains critical information and is also very awesome, Read Full Review
Heroes Reborn #7 finally pits the Squadron Supreme and the Avengers against each other, while revealing the malevolent mastermind behind this new universe. Next week will bring this alternate reality tale to a close with the Heroes Return one-shot, and I can't wait to see how Aaron and co. wrap things up. Read Full Review
Jason Aaron's tale of a world without the Avengers is headed for a finale as the Squadron Supreme learn more about the nature of their manufactured reality. Read Full Review
Honestly, Heroes Reborn #7's main story feels more like a filler than a story that stands on its own merits. It does its job as a penultimate set-up but has so little to give as a story that It could've been done in ten pages or less. And please Aaron, eviscerate Blur in the next issue. I just can't stand another word from that braggart. Furthermore, the "back-up" seems to hold most of the meat in the overall story. Ultimately, readers get set up for the next Heroes Reborn issue.

Heroes Reborn #7 like the issue before both works and doesn't. There's some great ideas and concepts but it never quite clicks and flows. Everything feels too short and like it's missing that moment that really hits you. The fact that it ends as just one chapter doesn't help matters. This is another Marvel event that doesn't hit the mark. Read Full Review
On the plus side, the story really moves here and while the issues upon issues of setup do not fully pay off, the pieces that do come together do so well-enough for the stakes in the final pages to feel very real and for the story heading into Heroes Reborn to feel a lot more interesting. However, the overall quality of this issue's story reveals just how unnecessary most of the preceding issues were even as a few elements connect here. Read Full Review
Heroes Reborn ned as it started, with very little to blast about. A simple concept – Mephisto recreates a world without the Avengers – strung out over seven uneventful issues. Minus any satisfying conclusion. I really wished I hadn't bothered. Read Full Review
This is better than last week's issue. It's nice to see everything come together. It takes away from the one-shot feeling, as it turns out this series did have a plot, but that's only a slight negative because you aren't getting something new this time around. But like, yeah, assuming Heroes Return #1 hits the mark, this will be remembered as a fun event. And honestly, that's not a bad thing. Not everything needs to be the biggest, most epic thing ever that revolutionizes the medium for a summer.
I am enjoying this far more than I thought I would.
This is actually was not bad and better! Aaron plays around with many Marvel and DC staples here but that also was problematic because you could not spend enough time flushing out as it went and many were just throw away. The art was fantastic by Aaron Kuder and those Dean White colors were perfect! The art helped this issue a lot. The problem I have is that this story could have existed in the Avengers book and had time to be flushed out and room to breath so we can have a proper story instead of mentioning the avengers for 2 pages here and there only to have them show up in one page.
At first it was nice seeing the Squadron bounce off one another as they begin to confront the Avengers. But rereading the flashbacks it becomes apparent how villainous Coulson has become. He's essentially a Fix Fic writer who despite making objectively better depictions of Civil War and its fallout, takes away the efforts, sacrifices, and mistakes creators made and owned. There's nothing more toxic than selling out, manipulating, if not outright killing your allies in order to force your vision on the world. Compare this to Quesada's infamous One More Day for comparison.
This might have been the best issue so far. It finally got me excited for the finale rather than just being content like the previous issues.
A good issue that's weighed down by its own narrative structure. The book is at its best when it's just the Squadron Supreme working together, bouncing of once another, investigating the Avengers. We haven't seen them really interact yet and said interaction is intersting to see and shows these very gray characters' good and bad sides (some characters more then the other, admittedly).
The narrative structure ways it down because it's too interruptive. They show how iconic Marvel moments played out with the Squadron and while certainly interesting on it own, it just breaks up the flow too much. I would not have put it in the 2nd to last issue.
At Power Princess's urging, the Squadron swings into action investigating the Avengers. They find them (and Wakanda) and tee up for The Big Showdown. It's all intercut with AU takes on great/infamous comics events. Those flashbacks are indeed a Catch-22. They're (mostly) amusing, but they slow down the main story -- or, saltier take, conceal how short and simplistic it is.
Despite getting seven issues and 10 tie-ins, all plus-sized, Heroes Reborn still hasn't really dug into its premise any deeper than the elevator pitch. And maybe that's OK. Maybe Jason Aaron deserved a no-brainer vacation after his Thor run. But he's had the Avengers trapped in popcorn-comics-land for 3 years now, and I'm getting tired of it.
Wasn’t as good as it could have been. The series’s set up was brilliant. The Squadron Supreme quickly and efficiently eliminates recurrent threats like Galactus and Thanos, presumably saving billions of lives when compared to the destruction these threats cause in the mainline universe, and Blade even says the Squadron Supreme universe is “better” than the one he remembers. The only problem is it is not real. Thus we have the potential for exploring if truth is something worth fighting for in and of itself, even if it may make things worse in some ways. Unfortunately instead of exploring this theme with any seriousness, the series quickly degenerated into a slapstick parody of DC heroes. The overall story was fun but pointless, and more
At least this issue is important. I will give it that. Plus we finally know what is going on.
However, this issue is CRAMMED with dialogue, even worse than tynions batman. It can be overwhelming, and this should have had forever evil format where we have 8 issues of main story and tie in issues that are one sbots.
Plus, how does blade remember everything? Why is captain america specifically the one who makes hyperion weaker when he's around. How does all of these heroes remember who they are? How did the squadron Supreme stay hidden from the avengers?
the art and the battles were good. The story seemed boring to me
Mind boggling mediocrity and irrelevance. There was some interesting stuff along the way, but very little.
But there was no narrative momentum and no sense of urgency or reason why this story had to be told.
And do we really need a council of Mephistos? The art by Ed McGuinness was great. Issues and issues on, Blade and Ghost Rider still don’t seem like Avengers.
