And just like that, I love this series. After a false start by Ed Brubaker, followed by a fun if ultimately hollow run by Warren Ellis, Secret Avengers finally feels like its found its writer with Rick Remender. Rekindling a little of the magic that made his Uncanny X-Force run so good, Remender finally nails the whole "Secret" part of Secret Avengers in a way that makes it actually feel like a series that needs to exist.I always love watching a writer who's had success on other books put togeth...
It's not easy to review every comic I read, especially Avengers books, because I tend to be as invested. Moon Knight's gone, and he was one of the big reason's I picked up this series (I mean it!) but Venom is here? All is fine but nothing is standing out to me.
Solid story from Remender although I'm not really sure where the secret part comes from. The main story could have taken place in any Avengers title. They didn't need a covert team. Gabriel Hardman and Patrick Zircher both provide fantastic art.
Absolutely hated this book for the first 20 issues. Brubaker had no idea what he was doing and so he just did what he does best in the super comics- bore us all to tears. Then we see Warren Ellis tinker with it a bit and I thought he'd be better suited to the space-and-science nature of the book. I was wrong. It was still pretty ho-hum. But never fear! The brilliant and consistently overlooked Rick Remender has saved us all! Hot damn, this man can write a comic like nobody else in the business.
This was a fun read!We have Cap draft Hawkeye to lead this team and well we see them team up and go against the new Masters of Evil and great provocation by Steve and then the main story is when some incidents happen in Pakistan, Avengers go to confront it but then they are met by resistance from something called Adaptoids and "Descendants", basically robotic villains who seem to be reanimated from the dead and there is Sentinels and Doombots there too so the whole package so we get great moment...
Im a massive Remender fan but this just didnt do it for me. I felt like the characters were a little off plus some of the dialogue was poor. I really did enjoy the artwork.
Pretty solid take on the Secret Avengers concept. I've tried out a bunch of different versions of this team, and this one is more intelligently designed than most. The team is carefully chosen for what is meant to be the covert Avengers. Every character on here either has good experience as a covert agent or has the ability to be support for those who do. It makes perfect sense for Captain America to form the team, then leave the regular operations to others, because he's just too damn recogniza...
You know what I've found that I really like? Espionage in my superheroes. I've always liked mysteries, people operating in secret, and shady underground organizations. So a team of Avengers operating in secret while investigating the mysteries of shady underground organizations makes a great fit.The first issue, where Captain America sets up a mission to test Hawkeye, is a good one. I like that the book goes out of it's way to have a real reason for a changing of the guard. For most books a new
Its like the universe wants me to pay for saying that I wanted non Bendis Avengers book, and so it gave me Rick Remender. I've never been a fan of his writing, but his Avengers shows a fundamental lack of understanding in the characters, although he's not that interested in personalities anyway. He's got the mean spirited nature of a Mark Millar but he's not even that good with dialogue and he has no style.
The story was a little hard to follow, but I really just love the avengers' banter with one another. As a crew they all just have really good chemistry.
Excellent .1 issue - amazing art and a great one-and-done story (which happens to offhandedly pick up on a plot thread in the Marvel U that had gone a bit stale - and gives it a bit of juice, just for fun).Then we get into the real saga-building, and it kicks off with an amazing confrontation. Amazing not because it plays false, but because it's so rare these days to see Marvel heroes get up in each others' business so quickly. (Not to mention how awkward that moment starts off - well done, Reme...
I read this comic out of the blue because I got it from John's dad. I don't usually read marvel at all and I had no idea what was going on tbh. I was familiar with a lot of the characters however, the story was pretty good and the fight scenes were pretty good. I am going to read the second one in this set, would recommend.
This series has hovered between mediocre and barely ok from issue #1.I can’t keep wasting my time lol, doesn’t matter who writes Secret Avengers folks, it sucks! The one exception is the Kot/Moore run a few years after this one.
Venom. Original Human Torch. Captain Britain. Ant-Man. Man, this is action-packed like an 80's action flick!
hawkeye is cool! i like him. prior to this, i only knew the film version, and after reading this, i'm kinda sad his character hasn't been explored more in the films.no more cap stealth suit! which i'm sad about. it's the old one with the pirate boots (which i've always felt look weird)
Collects Secret Avengers issues #21.1 and #22-25Considering how good the Brubaker run was of this series, and seeing as how Remender continues some of the story threads, I ended up feeling pretty disappointed with where Remender is taking the series. I'll read on, but only because I like the seeds planted in the first 12 issues of this series. If you're curious, this is where Agent Venom joins the team. This is also where Steve Rogers exits as team leader, and (inexplicably) puts Hawkeye in the
No one should have to willingly read this. It focused on all the wrong aspects. The ensemble cast feels like they gathered up names that would sell. Hawkeye is straight up told hes not a leader, they make him one, and dont even focus on it. The absurd amount of mid dialogue scene changes was distracting - I counted 5 in less than 8 pages during the second to last issue. There were two page spreads that I didnt realize were spreads until I got lost.All in all, there was potential that got squande...
I’m not sure that Rick Remender knows anything about Captain Britain. His personality is so different, arrogant, and kind of mean. Certainly not the Captain that was presented in the Heroic Age. Hopefully it gets better. The rest of the story is ok, but is told in a rushed manner. Lots of stuff is skimmed over. I guess it’s because I tend to be a bigger fan of X titles, but this just isn’t what it should be.
The story was not bad, but it just didn't grab me. I am unfamiliar with the characters and don't really care about them. It felt rushed and was sometimes confused what was going on. I am not liking these Secret Avengers at all, Brubaker should have never left :(
This comic was just ok. Captain America leaves Hawkeye in charge of the Avengers, but he doesn’t seem to think he can do the job. The dynamic between the secret avengers was interesting. They didn’t seem to really know how to work well together. I’m not sure that I will read the next one.
