I'm starting to think Al Ewing isn't my style of writing.


So Ultimates was once a universe. Then poof, it didn't sell enough, and we had to get rid of it. New Avengers is throwing together the Avengers no one really remembers or loves. Some are young avengers, some are actual avengers, and then you bring in the villain from Ultimates universe later on. Evil Reed Richards. Sounds like a homerun right? Nope.

Good: Some of the banter is funny. I do like a lot of the Young Avengers and other characters in here. I also thought having evil reed richards would have been a perfect villain but...

Bad: Evil reed richards comes across dumb here. THe sinister evil version we got from Hickman is not here. Also the plot is just jumbling and confusing and honestly boring. The art also is trying to be a hybrid of western and eastern art but doesn't nail either very well.

This wasn't a terrible book but boring would probably define it best. Too bad, it could have been great. A 1.5 out of 5.
