Saladin Ahmed's scripting is blunt in its thematics, making Quicksilver's emotional journey overt, though the approach works well considering the character is essentially fighting himself. Read Full Review
Quicksilver: No Surrender #5 brings closure and satisfaction to the miniseries, bringing Pietro Maximoff to some realizations about himself and showing character growth for the Avenging speedster. The writing is spot-on, and the art is gorgeous. This one earns a recommendation. Give it a read. Read Full Review
This series has done a tremendous job of humanizing him without forgiving or dismissing those elements. That makes for a very strong ending to one of the best Quicksilver stories ever. Read Full Review
An in-depth character study that makes Quicksilver as approachable as he's been since that X-Factor psychoanalysis issue 25 years ago. Read Full Review
I love that ending and hopefully this series will open the door for writers to feel comfortable about writing Pietro and Wanda after Ultimates 3. I really loved this series and I’ll have to go check out Black Bolt and Miles Morales: Spider Man because I really like Saladin Ahmed
And thus brings the story to the end. It's a happy ending, which is just what the titular character needed. Not a bad miniseries.
Pietro's final challenge takes the shape of a straight-up struggle against a doppelganger. The author bravely charges headlong at a very touchy-feely resolution: Sometimes making peace with yourself really is just a matter of forgiveness. It's a satisfying conclusion but a rather simple one; it feels like this series maybe didn't need to be this long. I'm coming down pretty hard in the "anti-fan" camp when it comes to the art. Pietro's return reveals that the color palette is the only thing separating the frozen world and the real world, visually. Some of this issue's pages look downright rough-draft-y, far beyond an acceptable "it's supposed to look rough" sketchiness.
