I liked this issue and have high hopes for where Tan and Landy will take this tale. It's not necessarily a story that needs to be told, but it's a fun take on a group of characters that are usually hyper-serious. The art is fun too, with a '90s vibe many will love. Read Full Review

The Black Order limited series is not going to be a book that you sleep on. If you love a good villain's story? Then this one is going to be right up your alley. Read Full Review

I'm not sure where the Black Order fits in to the Marvel U-heroes, villains, something in between-but I am curious to see where they land. There is potential here and I want to seemore. Read Full Review

If you're looking for a cosmic epic from Marvel, The Black Order #1 is a good place to start. Read Full Review

The Black Order #1 is a book full of style and fun. Derek Landy and Philip Tan clearly have a direction here with the murderous villains, and while not everything lands, it's still an entertaining read. The big stumbling block is that readers unfamiliar with the Black Order have very little reason to care about their fates. Corvus Glaive's small crisis of identity aside, there's little for readers to grasp on to, and that's something the series is going to need to find. Read Full Review

After reading Black Order #1, my stock of knowledge about these villains is just a tiny bit bigger. The book portrays their heinous status quo with serviceable storytelling skill. It doesn't help me answer the bigger question: Why should anybody care about the Black Order? So far, this book will satisfy existing Order fans - if there are any out there - but it doesn't do nearly enough to create new ones. Read Full Review

There's a seed of a good comic in Black Order #1, but it remains to be seen whether the creative team can cultivate it into something worth reading. Read Full Review

This was a pretty solid and fun read. I didn’t expect the comic to feel very important and it doesn’t, but it is entertaining. The Black Order have never had a lot of depth to them and a careful line is walked here between trying to flesh them out a bit while staying true to their established character types as, well, 2 dimensional villainous mass murderers.

It won’t rock your world or anything but if you are the type of person who thinks a comic about the Black Order could be fun, I think it delivers.

Corvus Glaive takes us into a tale of dark ultraviolence that's livened up with subtle, bone-dry wit. He spends the whole issue wondering whether or not he's the Order's "funny guy" and completely misses the fact that it's his wife who's the comic. The way she parries a general insult onto the Black Swan is hilarious, as is the fact her joke wooshes right past the Swan and her other teammates. Detailed illustrations with some truly remarkable layout work further enhance a story with a lot of hidden depth to it.

Mostly enjoyed this. I like the voices these characters are given.

This was kind of fun! I feel like I got a good handle on the characters right away, and I like them.

Ok their is no other famous character than the Black order. But in a way this is a good choice.
We focus on the previous bad guy and can letting them try to reinvent themselves.
They are a role of heroes in a way (Even if we didn't know the grand master real design).
But why giving Corvus the need to be comic ?
And I see that Lady like me (Or corvus) can tell Black Swan powerset. It's even a joke or a critic. He just state that he can't give her power. Ok ... Not a problem at all !
And we have proxima a little sad to not have the fight she want. But if they really want a bigger fight, instead of killing some king who swear a oath to their target. Why don't target their real enemy ... Yeah I know, they would win and that would have been a one shot.
I wonder if this wouldn't be better for launching a title with a now road for these characters ???
But no they just wait for the fake hulk. Oh common, I can't be the only one see the relation between Big Angry and Hulk !
I will hope that in a way their ennemies will be some inverted mirror of the avengers.

Cover - I take the variant with corvus. Like he tell the story in a way this is related. And not bad at all. 2/2
Writing - I'm mixed about it. I liked some part, and didn't like other. 1.5/3
Arts - Marcus To is just sublime. Love is work 3/3
Feeling - I'm not sure I will take the second issue. But maybe that could be a surprising reading. 1/2 more

I liked the character writing for the Black Order’s leaderand this sort of violent gonzo sci-if tale is what Tan excels in drawing but overall it went by a little too fast Tim feel like anythiñ othe than an appetizer. I’ll probably stick around for the series though because there’s something I like about this sort of cosmically tale and it reads better than Infinity Wars and Avengers: No Surrender.

Not bad, pretty good, but not great. I like weird marvel space adventures, even though this was a little uneven, I'll stick with it for a while.

Black Order 1 is drawn beautifully but the fight scenes can be very confusing. I was expecting a lot from this series after Infinity War and it sort of failed to deliver. Black Swan, who is one of my favorite characters, is written extremely shallow as this issue centers around Corvus Glaive. Not that much of an interesting plot at this point but it’s only the first issue so room for improvement
