Rated T+
Already I can see Valkyrie: Jane Foster being one of the top books to hit shelves for Marvel. This is the kind of book you can appreciate when it takes a character you see one way, and reinvent the way you see that character. Valkyrie: Jane Foster #7 not only continued to accomplish that, but took that step further to explore a corner of the Marvel Universe that not many creatives are bold enough to journey into.

This step into further mysteries of the Marvel Universe makes the cosmic-level stuff feel all the more vital. Which is quite an accomplishment given the fact that the entire universe has had relatively regular threats to its existence pop-up one or more times per year since it first debuted in 1961. The sense of the infinite that Ewing and Aaron have instilled in the latest Jane Foster keeps a tired, old shared universe feeling fantastic over half a century since its conception. Ewing and Aaron are doing really important work with this series. Read Full Review
Perez imbues the art with both beautiful details and stunning action. Even though the story is character focused, Perez is allowed to create a beautifully strange and stunning world for these characters to occupy. Read Full Review
Valkyrie #7 was a brilliant issue, telling a story to do both Jane Foster and Valkyrie justice. This is the sort of plot fans have been hoping for, and it did not disappoint. While I have zero complaints about this series continuing, I could have been happy, had this been the conclusion. And I feel like that's saying something. Read Full Review
A truly thoughtful story that examines the concept of Death through the lens of a world where death is cheap, with excellent art and a fun cast of returning Doctors. I recommend it. Read Full Review
This is Al Ewing's last issue on the series before Torunn Grnbekk takes over as co-writer with Aaron and I can't see a better issue to go out on. It captures the heart of Jane Foster well, offers lots of creative ideas, and makes for a fun adventure. Read Full Review
This two-part story was short, but it is oh so sweet! I wish more comics were as creative as Valkyrie. Read Full Review
Jane Foster: Valkyrie #7 (Ewing, Aaron, Perez, Aburtov) is another enjoyable issue, but leaves me wanting more in a less than good way. However, the potential ramifications for Jane and the Marvel world as a whole make it a story worth reading. Read Full Review
Jane, Dr. Strange and their gang of Medics have reached Death's Castle, but what is waiting inside for them and can they save or let alone WANT to save Death? Read Full Review
I come back to where I started here: If you're underwhelmed by this series, this issue's weak points -- chiefly Team Doctor's shenanigans -- will reinforce your distaste. But the good news is, Valkyrie #7 offers an ample reward for those who have fallen in love. The character work lavished on Jane here is more than enough to make it a must-read for fans.

Jane continues to bring a human perspective to some very complicated concepts, and this central theme is why Valkyrie: Jane Foster is one of the best superhero comic books on stands. Read Full Review
Valkyrie: Jane Foster has gone to some strange places, but this seventh issue is the most intense and thoughtful ones yet. Read Full Review
Best comic of the week. Valkyrie and the medic of Marvel travel to Death’s domain to save death, and it made for one fantastic story. I have no doubt that Valkyrie: Jane Foster 7 is the best issue of the series so far. Each character was fabulously written and guest artist Pere Perez blow my mind with his art. Pure eye candy. This was such a tragic issue and I wish Aaron could write stuff this deep in Avengers.
Prelude:
Valkyrie: Jane Foster started it's second volume off to a really good start though with a noticeable drop in quality. Let's see if this issue can improve that.
The Good:
I like how the infection changes perception based on the Mightiest Medics.
Man, I do not feel comfortable right now.
That's a chilling last page.
I really like Perez's art here.
I love the ties to Immortal Hulk and Dawn of X.
The Bad:
Nothing.
Conclusion:
Holy, that was one hell of an issue. I don't know what more to say. A wonderful last issue for Al Ewing.
Ewing really pays attention to the larger universe, and loves bringing in obscure elements from it.
This was such a great issue. Totally makes up for last issue. I hope that, without Al Ewing, this series can continue being as good as this.
The nod to Immortal Hulk and Dawn of X was a nice touch.
A team of healers saving Death, the concept alone here is brilliant.
The Doc-Team ferries Valkyrie to Death's sickbed and she cures her solo, using the power of philosophy (plus nifty continuity links). Prior to that, Cardiac screws the pooch a little. I'm okay with the team action, and I'm more than okay with the art, the philosophy, and the continuity action. "The Death of Death" isn't a novel trope, though.
" Death... Is with us still. Death will always be with us. We did not lose. But did we win ? "

Another great read and although some parts were a little off for me the premise and art sold me on it. It was very engaging like most of this series has been so far.
This was actually a really cool idea. I liked that tie into continuity, very neat. My only regret is that it was maybe a little too rushed?
Where’s Bullseye... I miss tgat arc
