Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson
Sep 30, 2021The premise is compelling and the art is quite lovely, but this issue feels like a little TOO much is happening all at once. Even so, I enjoy seeing the rotating cast and Busiek's dialogue, so I can let it slide. Read Full Review

Sep 29, 2021Just when I thought that The Marvels might be running out of a bit of steam, issue #5 has once again reminded me why I've enjoyed this series so much up until this point. Read Full Review

This is a lot of fun, and very involved in continuity. I don't quite understand the backlash to this issue in particular.

Feels like a classic already

Heroes jump in and out of the core team like jackrabbits and the super-messy plot gradually narrows down toward Cap's dive into Siancong from #1. I'm at the point where I can enjoy this goofy, scattershot, deep-diving story for what it is. It helps that Yildiray Cinar's art strikes the perfect "classic comic books" tone. I'm a giant Marvel nerd. Giant like, I recognize both Dakota North and Aarkus. I know this is not the first time Steve Rogers has been caught reading Tolkien. I might be the ideal reader for this series. It's a little bit of a shame that I rate it 7.5, the numerical equivalent of saying, "Enh, it's okay, I guess."

I don't know what this series wants to say or be anymore. It is just so long winded and such a slog every time I pick an issue up. 2 points for Alex Ross cover and half a point because at least Busiek is trying something somewhat interesting with this.
