This was really great!!Loved how it showed the story from different characters point of views, it was well done and entertaining!

I loved it! Can't wait to read Vol 2!

I'll admit, while I love comic books, I haven't read a huge amount of these collected anthologies. With that being said, this has probably been my favorite one to date! Taking place after the end of the Avengers and before the events chronicled in House of M, a dire situation at Ryker's Island has brought together an unlikely group of heroes to continue on as the New Avengers. Breakout stars Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Woman, Spider-Man and Luke Cage as the New Avengers and the fight takes...

The Avengers disassembled after House of M. Spidey rogue Electro busts out a few dozen baddies out of The Raft. Avengers reassemble - who expected THAT? Oh, right, everyone. Was it remotely entertaining to see something that’s been done a zillion times before? Surprisingly nah. New Avengers, Volume 1: Breakout is a super-generic superhero book. Brian Bendis throws a bunch of heroes and villains together in a Royal Rumble-esque brawl because that’s what you do when you haven’t got any ideas. Th...

Really, really, enjoyed this! Probably one of the better Avengers comics I've read.

Pretty fun and does some interesting things in the aftermath of the Disassembled story.

Ah the Avengers book that got me into the Avengers back in High School. Avengers is pretty big now. Everyone loves them. The movie changed the marvel universe and pretty much ALL superhero movies. However, back in the day, Avengers weren't a huge name. New Avengers by Bendis decided to change that. Let's get some big names in this group right? It worked for Justice League. They added Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman in the 90's. Bendis took Spider-man, Wolverine, and Cap and had them all team

I loved the premise of the super-villain prison break, and the early introduction of Electro, where he asks himself, "Costume or no costume?" and answers himself in this panel: But I had trouble getting over the fact that the assembled team of Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Luke Cage, and, later, Wolverine (also possibly Daredevil in the future?), while both interesting in some cases and popular in others, is not well balanced as a superhero group from a tactical standpoint...

7.4/10Time to assemble the New Avengers.Well written with good art and some strong moments, Breakout is what a 1st vol. should be.

Had another quick skim at this as a reminder, as I just picked up Volume 2 and did not really remember much. Three years since I read this, wow...This is a lot of fun and has very nice artwork. Definitely worth it, if you are a fan of the Marvel Comic movies... ————1st read, August 2017:The plot interested me right from the start, I enjoyed this one quite a bit!Liked the artwork, brilliant colours, nice fit for a story about superheroes. Good humour. Fun story, not too predictable. Definitely...

That Sentry Moment, BRUTAL!

Ranty ReviewOK. I really, really, really wanted to like this more. I hadn’t read anything featuring The Avengers for ages, and Breakout received such glowing reviews. The premise also appealed to me. An Avengers team featuring the likes of Daredevil and Wolverine? Yes please!Well, despite some name dropping and featuring Matt Murdock early in the story, Daredevil isn’t actually part of the New Avengers team (not at this stage, anyway, I don’t know what happens in future issues).Spiderman – doesn...

3.5 stars.I didn't remember having this hard a time with the art when I read this the first time. Granted, I've never been a big fan of Finch's art but looking back at this book, holy crap did Jessica Drew deserve better. To start with, Bendis writes his characters using phrases that seem really odd for them. It just seemed weird for Logan to say the Savage Land was "silly" with mutates. It also struck me as odd for Jessica Drew to use the phrase "Honor among fuckers". In some ways, Bendis write...

It's been 6 months since Avengers: Disassembled. Electro is hired to break out a prisoner on the Raft and several heroes are there by happenstance. 42 inmates escape so Cap assembles those that were at the Raft into the New Avengers. Shortly thereafter they discover some shady goings-on at Shield while in the Savage Land.Even though it's a ridiculous reason to form a team, just "hey, you happened to be there." Bendis and Finch put together a really fun book. Bendis writes a better Spider-Man tha...

With some of the hardcore 'fanboys' unhappy with the significant update and decimation of the Avengers franchise in Avengers: Disassembled, they were even more distraught with the new New Avengers being linked to the likes of Spider-Man, Daredevil, Spider-Woman and ...Wolverine!Back in the land of appreciators of great storytelling, the rest of us were dazzled by the start of this volume with a far more threatening incarnation of Electro, a murky and tense prison breakout at The Raft, and alread...

The original Avengers disbanded six months ago after they had the WORST day in the history of Avengers (Avengers: Disassembled). Then when a supermax prison break happened a new group of superpowered individuals (and a couple of old ones) answered the call of the moment, and just like that the New Avengers for the new era has come together. Captain America. Iron Man. Spider-Man. Wolverine. Luke Cage. Spider-Woman. (Daredevil also was there but no way in hell will he becomes an Avenger!) Cap asse...

Hangs my head in shame.I didn't go crazy over this book.You've got a bunch of baddies about to break out of Ryker's Island. Spider man, Captain America, Spider girl and of course Iron Man are involved with the saving of the day. Well sorta..there are still a whole lot of baddies that get loose.The Captain America decides that they need a new Avengers group to go after the crime dudes. I just thought this was kinda bland. Usually I'm a superhero fangirl but I couldn't even work it up for

This was actually pretty good again!The new team of heroes assemble at the Raft (super powered prison) and when criminals start escaping its upto the Avengers to assemble and stop these criminals from escaping and well the new team forms and Spidey comes in too and we see the New Avengers confront Electro and that leads them to Savage Land and there they meet Wolverine and battle their big threat: SAURON! And whole other host of secrets with Shield and whatever Hill is upto and its so much suspe...

Breakout starts the Bendis run on New Avengers. Starting shortly after the events that led to the dissolution of the Avengers, new trouble arises. Electro is paid to engineer a break of the Raft, the super-criminal lockup, in order to get Suaron. During his attempt he frees all the inmates and a combined force of Captain America, Spider-Man, Spider Woman, Daredevil and Luke Cage help contain the breakout. In the follow up we see the nucleus of the new team. Especially when they go to the Savage

I decided to re-read this book in pursuit of my bone-up mission ahead of Absolute Carnage, and Comic Book Herald mentioned that Cletus had a minor appearance here.Thank god.After binging on a ton of Venom and Carnage books from the 90’s (abysmal dialogue, plotting and paper-thin characters fully intact), reading some Bendis in his prime is definitely the salvation I needed.This books is damn solid. Still shaking off the warts of predecessor Avengers mythology (a little too pointedly I’d say), an...
