Rated T+
Heroes Reborn: Siege Society #1 is an intense tie-in that is filled to the brim with action. If readers are looking for a plot full of twists or emotion they should look elsewhere. Within this issue is character development, but the focal point is the combat between Baron Zemo and Nighthawks teams. Read Full Review
Fundamentally, yes. But if you are a newbie, coming in off the back of The Avengers films and comics, then it will seem a weird set up of good guys gone bad. But, it's got an ok story, that is well written and I can appreciate the violence. My one concern, is that as part of the bigger Heroes Reborn series, it's ok, it doesn't really add much more to the series. Blade doesn't come into it and there isn't any huge plot reveals to get excited about. Let us know your thoughts on our Review of Heroes Reborn " Siege Society # 1 in the comments below.

The story is split amongst everyone, and that's where it begins to really falter, as things jump around far too frequently. Remove any sense of development, and Siege Society starts to begin hollow. Luckily, it has a main story to fall back on, making it a suitable (yet nonessential) read. Read Full Review
Unfortunately, the better parts of Heroes Reborn: Siege Society #1 do not make up for what it has going against it. It is puzzling that the creative team went with the premise of integrating classic Avengers into a team with Nazi ideology. Perhaps it was not down to the creative team at all -- if this is the case, they did well with what they were given. Regardless, this addition to the Heroes Reborn story is at best, uncomfortable, and at worst, offensive. Read Full Review
Alright.
In the past of the HR universe, after their Civil War, Nighthawk tries to set up a splinter Squadron in Europe. He's opposed, unsuccessfully, by a band of rogues assembled by Zemo. It's a great big non-stop superhero fight. I like the solid world-building, the cheeky "homages" to DC heroes, and the thoroughly top-shelf art. I don't know if this needed to be a bonus-sized issue, though; it feels stretched and slow at some points. And the dialogue gets a bit clumsy when the characters get righteous.
Overall enjoyable, but lacking in substance. The best part in this is seeing the chemistry between BlackWidow, Hawkeye & Ant-man & seeing some different Squadron members. Story itself isn't that interesting though. To by the numbers and could've easily been told in fewer pages.
It also SPOILER very much just feels like an excuse to cull the ranks of the Squadron Supreme, to explain why the team really only has 5 heroes.
Ehh whatever.
Ok, this was boring and unnecessary.
