  The more I read from this event, the more I realize exactly what I’ve been missing. Ewing does a fantastic job of not just balancing all of these characters, but making the story feel grand, exciting and intense. As this continues on, I’m excited to see where the world of Marvel ends up after this. Read Full Review

Iban Coello and Paco Medina handle the superhero spectacle with complementary styles, while the connections to other tie-ins make the entire event feel unusually cohesive. Knull's continued absence remains conspicuous, but Hela and her increasingly powerful army provide plenty of danger without him. Read Full Review

Hela and Knull are reduced to being nothing more than action figure factories when looked at through the Lense of the core title alone, every development with the Brock family and our heroes fluffy Read Full Review
