FOR ALL TIMES, ALWAYS!
The Time Variance Authority has long watched over the timeline, protecting it from dangerous variations that could cause the end of EVERYTHING. Now, as the organization begins to expand its tolerance of variants, it's enlisted some new recruits from timelines that have been wiped from existence: Captain Peggy Carter, Super-Soldier of her world; Gambit, despondent and aimless from the loss of his lady love; and... this can't be right... Spider-Gwen?!? Has her world been destroyed?!? Writer Katharyn Blair (LOKI Season Two) and artist Pere Pérez (CARNAGE, SPIDER-WOMAN) bring a touch of cinematic flair to the bureaucra more
With a great storyline, you have to have a great artist behind the scenes to bring it all to life, and Pere Prez is exactly that person. I love how he drew the characters, giving each one a chance to shine. With the Loki series characters, he did a fantastic job at drawing their comic counterpart while giving them that fictional look about them. Read Full Review
All in all, TVA #1 merges the MCU with several ongoing comics and makes the whole thing accessible to everyone. With good humor, solid drama, and lively artwork, this is everything a first issue should be. Read Full Review
TVA #1 successfully captures the charm of the Loki series while carving out its own identity with a dynamic team and engaging premise. While the pacing stumbles early on and the plot is a bit murky, strong character moments and impressive visuals make this a promising start for fans of multiverse adventures. Read Full Review
TVA #1 goes out of its way to not connect itself to the tv show the organization comes from and in doing so delivers something devoid of charm and appeal. Read Full Review
TVA #1 isn't a bad comic and there's potential for the concept but overall it's a frustrating comic in far too many ways. Read Full Review
I wanted to like this as a fan of Loki but the art is really bad. Feels kiddish, and the whole spider-gwen being a character is kind of lame. Would have been fine with just the cast from the show.
Sylvi doesn't even show at all even though she is on the cover, and Captain Britain comes off so generic and lack of any personality.
Mobius and B-15 are great in the show and the writing fits their characters in this comic but it doesn't feel right, something is off?
This had a lot of great potential and really could have taken advantage of some of the Orwellian themes of the TVA and expand more Loki lore but no it felt like a cash grab.
I will read the next issues and stick with it until #5 but not im more
All the flaws of a comic written by someone from TV, looking down on things like continuity, universe building, and so on, thinking they can do better. In the end, it’s a comic that won’t satisfy either fans of the series or fans of comics. It’s this weird hybrid that doesn’t fit into any continuity, and on top of that, it’s poorly paced. It’s a shame—there was potential for the TVA, but this kind of synergy with the MCU is exactly what shouldn’t have been done.
I didn’t watch the Loki series and hate alternate timeline stories, but Pepe Larraz makes everything look great, so I gave this series a try. It’s a shame that Larraz is not drawing the book, but Pere Perez is almost as good. Unfortunately, the art is the only great thing about TVA.
Katharyn Blair somehow managed to write a script that is completely devoid of any charm or spark. If a book makes me want to quit after two pages despite great art, the writing must be exceptionally bad.
So how can I rate this? The art is a 9, but the writing is a 1. I could give an average of 5, but since the writing makes the issue an overall unpleasant experience, it has to be a 3.
