review 1: And now to continue my Rick Remender bias, I really try to find errors in Remender's books. I often read his titles several times to scrutinize his writing but damn does he know how to write and there are several writers that should take note. This is how comics are supposed to be done.Remender's story will have huge implications on whoever follows his run and I know for sure I would not want to have that job. Remender has turned everything up to eleven for a huge end of the world arc and the events of this arc and its ending will surprise you. It is because of the ending that I gave this book 4 stars Remender does something unprecedented like in his Black Science series. I like how he is subverting reader expectations to create an upsetting but nonetheless amazing tale. A... morert by Steve McNiven and Daniel Acuna is impeccable, it does create a jarring tone sometimes since McNiven goes for my realistic well defined art whereas Acuna has a pop art rendition which is still gorgeous. Excellent work so far from both artists.
review 2: How good is this book? It's so good that I'm really thinking about buying it monthly, rather than in trades. I haven't done that since Brian Michael Bendis was writing Daredevil. Yeah, it's been that long. So when I tell you this book good, you know I really mean it. There is not a character on this team that doesn't interest me. With team books you might get a few characters that for you are just there. You read the parts with them to get back to the people you really want to see. Here, it's not the case. Thor, Captain America, Wolverine, everyone is great. They are all in places I really like. I would say this is the best team line up in comics right now. I really don't want to give anything anyway, so it's hard to review this book. All the best parts would just be huge spoilers. I'll do my best though. One great thing about this book is the constant one upping. Every character thinks they are the mastermind, until you find out they are just another puppet. It almost reads like an espionage thriller. You never know who's on what side or what plan they have planned. You're just holding on to your seat trying not to get whiplash!The art on this book is great. I've been a fan of Acuna since I first saw his work in Wizard magazine (yep, that long ago) so to see his work in this book is great. I love how he does colors. He only draws one issue in the collection, but the other artist, Larroca and Mcniven, are equally good. It's just really well written and well drawn. For me, this is the best series right now. less
