  In a lot of ways, these stories Remender built for his run go way beyond the typical superhero smashy that we all know and love. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of that smashy, but there's a lot to digest if you sit back and let it sink in. It's like an episode of Carl Sagan's Cosmos " if you allow the brain to soak in the message, you can find yourself thinking about it for a long time after the episode is over. Read Full Review

  It's disappointing to see Secret Avengers end right in the middle of a hot streak. This series has been great for the last few months and it's a tough loss to swallow, but here's to hoping that the new volume of the series is almost as good as this one has been. Remender and Scalera deserve a ton of props for not skimping out on this last issue. Read Full Review

  Finally managing to get caught up over the past couple of days with the series has not only been awesome but upsetting. This marks the last issue of not only Remender and Scaleras runs on the title but the end of the volume. While itwould'vebenefitedfrom some extra pages its conclusion and the overall arc doesnt disappoint. Read Full Review

  Remender definitely created an amazing run with Secret Avengers; making Hawkeye the new leader and bringing Venom onto the team are two decisions that definitely made me excited. I'm curious how the Marvel Now! version of Secret Avengers will turn out. One thing is for sure I'm definitely going to miss Remender's run on this book! Read Full Review

  A good and fitting conclusion to a series that had it rough. Full of potential for other stories and filled with great scenes" Rick Remender, Matteo Scalera and Matthew Wilson did a great job on the title and it is something that deserves to be remembered as the ambitious storyline it was.

  I wish there were more room for epilogue material and an exploration of how the various characters are coping with the traumas of recent issues. Imagine if Uncanny X-Force had ended with issue #34 instead of #35 and you'll have an idea of what this finale feels like. Riveting, but over too soon. Read Full Review

  The gritty tale of hidden worlds, secret agendas and accumulating threats combine to make Remender's work on "Secret Avengers" a memorable experience. While I would hesitate to say his work on this title is on par with his work on "Uncanny X-Force," there is simply no denying the contributions Remender has made to the Marvel Universe and "Secret Avengers" #37 is a fantastic representative sample. The threat of the Descendants may be past, but as happens in comics, there is ample opportunity for return and revenge. Read Full Review

  This issue jumped around a bit more than I would have liked too, and the while a lot of things got wrapped up, I would have liked a bit more closure on some of the plot points. Or at least a better explanation, it just sorta ends, and it's terrible when that happens. . . Read Full Review

  I give Secret Avengers #37 two and a half stars""if you've been reading Remender's run, then see it through. If you haven't, then this ending shouldn't put you off catching the trades, but doesn't make it a must-read either. Read Full Review

  No, for an Avengers-related book, Marvel dropped the ball in terms of coordinating a number of things here. I don't blame the writer, I don't blame the artists (who were actually fantastic here including cover artist Art Adams who always blows me away)" No, I blame Marvel who seems to have no clue at times as to what they're doing and how to handle character continuity. Suffice to say. this was a disappointing ending to what used to be my favorite Avengers title. Read Full Review
