flodid reviewed Avengers #2 May 18, 2018
A disappointing issue. Nothing really happens and it feels like a rip-off from Marvel selling us two first issues instead of one. The final "reveal" is not a surprise to anyone, the art is good overall but sometimes a bit cartoony. Of course, Aaron is used to build things for the long run, but with this one he's really testing our patience.

The delays between every issue are painful, but "Southern Bastards" still stands as the best book around, and this episode might be the shiniest example yet. With amazing character works and dialogs by Jason Aaron, as well as top-notch sequencing and art by Jason Latour, "Southern Bastards 20" doesn't let you catch your breath until the last panel. This series is a masterpiece of storytelling in t more

A fun start to the series, although it feels a bit light and introductory. It's a good thing the next issue comes out only in two weeks.

The day Jason Aaron stops writing Thor will be the saddest day ever. Jane has been my favorite Thor by a country mile and even though I think her death is being written by a master writer. Part of me wonders if her soul is somehow going to be Odinson's new weapon as he returns to lead this book. No matter what this has been masterfully written, drawn, and colored. The struggle and color drips off more

I would have liked to love this one more. The art was good all through and Jason Aaron's script
is competent, though nowhere near the level of what he's doing on Thor. Truth be told, this comic lacks a bit of focus and sometimes feels like a series of previews, without the coherence of what made DC Rebirth#1 a great reading.

It begins at the dawn of the human race, and ends with a child's prayer! In between, empires fall, mysteries brew, secrets are revealed, quests are undertaken and legends are forged! All leading up to the dramatic return you've been waiting for - and one you've been dreading!
