New Avengers #27 wasn’t the best issue of Time Runs Out. Some clunky transitions and lack of necessary exposition held the comic back from being amazing. It’s still a great comic and a worth the price of admission but it c could have easily been a 9 if it was cleaned up a little. The battle set-up here is going to be an incredible one and Hickman has me on the edge of my seat waiting for this series’ plot-lines to payoff. If you like complex plots filled with imagination and bewilderment, New Avengers will surely mesmerize you, it's a special comic. Read Full Review

Although not overly somber or ominous, the wrap-up really drives the point home that this is a one-way trip for everyone but it shouldn't be without its element of humor. If anything, the issue's finale certainly suggests there may be a whole lot more mileage to be had with the overall "game" metaphor. True believers, start manning those tailgates! Read Full Review

Kudranski's style suits the sinister, otherworldly quality of the Black Priests. But when focused on the more human and recognizable characters, his art tends to be stiff and lifeless. Read Full Review

At its best, New Avengers has been a challenging super-hero drama, raising the question of how far a hero can go, yetstill be considered a hero. At its worst it's been an inscrutable mess, which comes across as an exercise in complicated storytelling, solely for the sake of complicated storytelling. Unfortunately, this issue is far closer to the latter than the former. Read Full Review

A slower issue, yet full of revelation. The only thing keeping this issue down is the bad, bad art by Szymon Krudanski.

Chuck reviewed this issue!

Good, but same as many, some vagueness too
