RACING OUT OF THE PAGES OF "AVENGERS: NO SURRENDER"!
Quicksilver's super-speed and abrasive personality have always isolated him, but he's never been truly alone...until now.
Trapped beyond the perception of friends, family and allies, Quicksilver wages a one-man guerilla war against a monster that he's not even sure is real, to save a world that he may never be a part of again.
Saladin Ahmed (BLACK BOLT) and Eric Nguyen (OLD MAN LOGAN) team up to bring you a psychedelic survival thriller unlike anything you've seen before!

May 16, 2018QUICKSILVER: NO SURRENDER #1 is filled with great Pietro Maximoff moments. Saladin Ahmed truly gets the character. It makes the issue a satisfying read for Quicksilver fans. I wasn't a big fan of the art, but you may be! Read Full Review

Newsarama - C.K. Stewart
May 16, 2018It doesn't feel like Quicksilver's going anywhere any time soon, and that lack of forward momentum in a world that's so unsettlingly lonely raises the question of whether a lone Pietro in the face of a seemingly silent threat is enough to carry the emotional weight of a full series.

Bleeding Cool - Joshua Davison
May 17, 2018Quicksilver: No Surrender #1 starts off on the right foot with a ponderous and self-reflective issue for Pietro Maximoff. Ahmed, Nguyen, and Renzi provide a compelling conflict for our hero with brilliant artwork and stunning color. This one gets a strong recommendation. Give it a read. Read Full Review

AIPT - Russ Dobler
May 16, 2018It's pretty damn good! Ahmed's tendencies for exposition grow as the issue goes on, but the narrative is good enough, combined with the amazing art, to make this issue a winner. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Charles Martin
May 16, 2018Saladin Ahmed and Eric Nguyen deliver a speedy but intimate portrait of Quicksilver before throwing some fascinating roadblocks in his path. While this miniseries doesn't start off in a position of all-time greatness, that definitely could be where it's headed. The introduction is well above average and packed with enough promise (both visually and narratively) to get readers clamouring for more. Read Full Review

The Beat - Alexander Jones
May 16, 2018Quicksilver: No Surrender #1 is an entertaining first issue about a complicated protagonist. This series spins out of the events of Avengers: No Surrender, but is still perfectly accessible for new readers (like me), and only briefly mentions previous events before getting into its own story. It's a solid beginning for the series. Read Full Review

May 16, 2018Later issues may help to better define Pietero's character, but this issue leaves new readers with little reason to stick around and find out. Read Full Review

Doom Rocket - Don Alsafi
May 18, 2018It's too bad, because Quicksilver is a fascinating character who really deserves his due, and with a small but devoted fanbase who would love to see him featured in more stories. But this first issue really does feel like he's running to stand still. Read Full Review

This is a perfect read to fill the void left by Black Bolt's ending. The artwork is quite similar (though definitely not as detailed), and the characterisation is just great.

Ahmed's dialogue and Nguyen's thought provoking art make this issue a very pleasant surprise. I've always loved Pietro and I hope he finds a way back because I don't know what I'd do without him. Excellent first issue

It felt like I was legit just reading another issue of The Flash, but it was only a matter of time before Quicksilver borrowed the speed force concept and the execution in this first issue is not bad at all.

At first I didn't want it. The sneak pick didn't convince me either. So why suddenly I take it ... Some need to have because I read all no surrender ... Don't know. I was so sure this would not be a great reading that I open it first. And that wasn't bad at all. Cover - Nice & related ! (Go figure). 2/2 Writing - That was well done even if they don't make quicksilver easy too like in there. And At first a little empty on the purpose of the story. But they find one. And why not. 2.5/3 Arts - Not my kind of arts. But at least that make the spot on Pietro & the Energize doppelgänger. 2/3 Feeling - That not give me the need to read the following, but that didn't make me sure to don't brought it easer. Will see. 1/2

Quicksilver got to make the sacrifice play in No Surrender; now we get to find out what happened to him. He's stuck in a hypertime trap where loneliness soon gives way to Mysterious Antagonism. His predicament is laid out with polished words and speedy art, but it hasn't yet sunk a hook in me. I'm not fully sold on the collage-style art. It's still an admirable blend of promising ideas and solid work, though; I'll keep reading.
