Avengers Assemble: Science Bros by Kelly Sue DeConnick, Stefano Caselli, Pete Woods
3.0

All my friends on here seemed to love this, I thought it was just decent fun but nothing special.

Tony and Banner make a bet. They split in to two teams, which really is just Hulk and Spider-woman and Tony with Thor. This is basically a fun little trip that turns a lot darker when they discover a hidden secret. The next story is a two part story about Hawkeye and Black Widow. When Black Widow is drawn back into a mission for someone who she'd given a favor chip to long ago, both Clint and Jessica decide to follow her there.

Good: I enjoyed the banter here. Very movie-like MCU universe feel. I also liked most of the fights, they were big and bombastic. Overall easy to read, good plotting and pacing.

Bad: The art is okay but feels kind of stockish. I also thought the stakes were super low. I get this is more a "FUN" title but it felt so low I was kinda of bored when they threw any real "oh no" moments at us.

Overall this is a fun title. If like the MCU you'll probably love this. I do love the MCU but this just didn't blow me away. Still a fun title to check out if bored. A 3 out of 5.
