Another decent volume in what should be an amazing Avengers run. I just don't understand why this run is so average. The idea of having another squad of superheroes to match the Avengers is cool. I mean they are basically the Marvel version of Justice League. Even looks like them. And then on the other side you have some quality time with the Avengers in a hot spring, some flirting, and even some great character building moments. But then get them hooked into the war of the realms plot and that

While he's busy over with War Of The Realms and the Thor tie-in issues, Jason Aaron also has the Avengers to contend with as well. The Thor ones soar, but the Avengers ones kind of just flutter. These four issues are mostly just random tie-in things. They slot in between issues of War Of The Realms, without really moving the Avengers story ahead because there's kind of a war going on? There are a few bits and pieces evolving with relation to the Coulson/Squadron Supreme aspect of things, and the...

As the title suggests, this volume is entirely composed of War of the Realms tie-ins. They're not bad - some are actually quite good, like Gorilla-Man's character building solo outing. But nothing truly excites and, with this being the main Avengers series, that's kind of the expectation.I have to say, I'm vaguely intrigued by the Squadron Supreme stuff, particularly if they're brainwashed, but I have no idea why Coulson is taking a heel turn, or why Mephisto is involved here. Did I miss an even...

This is mostly a sloppy placeholder volume to get the Avengers title past the big War of the Realms event. We check in with the super-patriotic Squadron Supreme of America group being manipulated by Mephisto and Phil Coulson, but a confrontation with the Avengers gets booted down the road for a future volume, sometime after all the frost giants have been kicked out of North America. Then Gorilla-Man (yawn) and the super-hulky She-Hulk (meh) get to narrate a couple nowhere chapters. Next, we get

As much as I chortled at the Justice League piss-take, what the Hela was even going on in this book? My love of the films notwithstanding this is why I’ve never been too keen on the Avengers comics. Too scattershot, too many characters, everything always just feels like a prelude to other things of greater importance... it’s the WWE of comic titles.

The stories were fine for filler around an event but what killed it for me was alot of the art. Just big, ugly, and cartoony.

This is a bit of a stopgap volume of the Avengers, being a series of done-in-one issues, all tied in to the War of the Realms crossover event.That being said, it would be wrong to dismiss this volume as being full of low-quality filler material, as all the stories collected here are pretty good. They're also laying the foundations for future arcs in this book, so it would be a mistake to skip this one.I'm really looking forward to seeing where Jason Aaron is going with the Squadron Supreme of Am...

Jason Aaron keeps up his stellar Avengers run with some of the best tie-ins to War of the Realms (probably cause he wrote the main event too). I really like the angle he is taking on for the Squadron Supreme.

An excellent "crossover" with War of the Realms, because Aaron widely circles the main event, and instead uses these four issues to highlight individual characters and plots (and these types of single-issue stories are generally one of his strengths). So we get an issue highlighting the newest Squadron Supreme (and what happened to the last one!?) and we get an issue about Gorilla-Man and we get an issue focused on the new angry She-Hulk and we get an issue of Avengers in a Hot Tub.They're all n...

Like the prior volumes, I enjoyed this a lot. Aaron writes these characters well, and their banter is a lot of fun. Even the art remains strong, some of the best the series has so far—especially after the rocky start of the first volume.But since this mostly a tie-in to Aaron’s “War of the Realms” event (which was actually pretty great), this volume feels light. I wish I *loved* this series, but other than the second volume, it’s been pretty consistently “good, not great,” and that hasn’t change...

This is a bunch of one-off stories while War of the Realms is going on. Marvel likes to do this a lot to the main books centered around a big crossover. The stories are by no means bad, they just aren't great either. Jason Aaron on the Avengers should be fireworks, but it continues to just sputter for me.

Collects Avengers (2018) issues #18-21 and material from Free Comic Book Day 2019 (Avengers/Savage Avengers)There was some good stuff in these issues, but across Marvel's many titles, I haven't been too impressed with the the tie-in stories to the 2019 event "War of the Realms." There was a lot of stuff concerning that event here. Two things from Aaron's run on "Avengers" that I am enjoying is the Squadron Supreme of America and the Avengers of 1,000,000 B.C.

Yawn. Closer to two stars but I like the solo issues focusing on Gorilla Man and She-Hulk. Couple funny moments in the hot tub but mostly feels like filler, required crossover tie-in and setup for future conflict.

This Volume is definitely a transition Volume between pre-War of the Realms and post-WotR, leading into all the upcoming stuff with Mephisto and the Ghost Riders (I am really looking forward to this one!)Other than the tie-in to WotR, we basically are left with four points worth noting:1) Squadron Supreme of America - This group of heroes, created by some kind of deal between Coulson and Mephisto, is a DIRECT rip off of Justice League, and is a team that will only ever protect America and nowher...

3.5 I love Jason Aaron but I can't say the same of his Avengers run which has me conflicted about a lot of things.I dislike what is happening with Coulson.I don't really dig vampires.I just feel like its a little bit all over the place.This volume is really side issues to the War of Realms and are not fully connected. And while I enjoyed the hot tub issue and concept, this grouping of Avengers doesn't fully work for me.

Sometimes event tie-ins by the same writer as the main story are the ones which include stuff that genuinely affects the plot. Other times, they just take advantage of sort of being their own boss to goof around in the margins. This is all the better for being an example of the latter. Gorilla-Man muses on the chaos from the perspective of someone who doesn't normally get involved in this stuff; She-Hulk explains how becoming a rampaging monster at least has the compensation that she no longer h...

Some good stuff from Aaron with the Avengers, as well as the hectic but entertaining War of the Realms, Coulson is most definitely up to something sketchy with the 'Supreme Squadron of America'. And the bestial She-Hulk is a waste - one of the sharpest female speaker - Aaron and co. limit her capacity to communicate effectively... nice, not! 7 out of 12.

Don't let the sub-title of this volume fool you....every single issue of this is very character-centered, and has very little to do with the War of the Realms storyline. Some of the issues were more enjoyable than others, but there was minimal cohesion with this volume. An average read and I felt that with the single issues each being different there were way too many cliffhangers branching out.

Not great, not bad, just thoroughly middle-of-the-road. I do think Aaron's getting better at writing the Avengers than in earlier volumes, but this series of one-shots doesn't do much to push the larger story ahead, merely hinting at things to come (Phil Coulson in thrall to Mephisto? the return of the Dracula story, etc.). There should be more than this...

If you haven’t read War of The Realms - or if, like me, you have forgotten everything about it bar that there’s a war between some realms - no worries. This is very much a crossover where the event is in the background and the writer takes the opportunity to move some of the big plots forward. Aaron’s Avengers is really rollicking along nicely now - squarely at the “superheroes should be fun” end of what he does, which is no bad thing for this title.Avengers is marinated in its universe, and is
