Overall, Superior Avengers #1 is a strong and captivating start to a series with a unique and potentially dangerous premise. Foxe and Maresca have crafted a world and a team that are both familiar and disturbingly different. This is a must-read for those invested in the “One World Under Doom” event and anyone looking for an Avengers team that truly lives up to the “superior” moniker in the most twisted way possible.

Superior Avengers #1 launches with the energy of a major crossover tie-in, mixing brutal spectacle with the promise of deeper multiversal conflict and familial dysfunction. Though the plot is still coalescing, the strong visuals and unique team lineup make this a standout entry in One World Under Dooma darkly fun remix of superhero team-ups with Doom at the helm.

Despite a misguided reaction from comic book readers, this is not a knockoff version of "Dark Reign Avengers". Besides, I'm here to dispel those rumors. Because, while I do see why comic book fans might think that. There's no other similarities outside of the assembled group of villains trope. This reads like a another hoax scheme by Doom until the very end. Read Full Review
Superior Avengers #1 is a good issue. It explains everything going on and generally who these characters are but doesn't bog things down in details. It teases some twists and the direction to come showing a crack in Doom's near perfect world. It's far more than a new take on the Thunderbolts or other instances of villains pretending to good. As a whole, it's a nice addition to the ongoing meta narrative that currently is the focus of the Marvel Universe. Read Full Review
Superior Avengers #1 is a surprisingly good launch for an Avengers variant story that serves as a tie-in to One World Under Doom. Steve Foxe's central premise does what a good tie-in should do by making the main event a little more interesting. Except for a few fight choreography hiccups, the art is pretty decent as well. If not for the overplayed use of multiverse variants, this debut would be a winner. Read Full Review
Superior Avengers #1 sets a few different plates spinning. Theres no outright misdirection, but the issue opens up multiple possibilities for the series direction by the end. Coupled with strong visuals and a potential strong character arc for Kristoff and Doom, this tie-in first issue deserves a look. Read Full Review
Obviously this book may have limited appeal to those who arent following One World Under Doom, but if youre in the mood for a well-delivered team book that plays with familiar concepts, then you could do much worse than Superior Avengers #1. Read Full Review
I'll follow Foxe whenever he's putting together a fun team, and this is an interesting twist on the Thunderbolts dynamic. I just wish it had more room to breathe than the paltry time an event tie-in will be afforded.
