Avengers by Jason Aaron Vol. 1: The Final Host
by Jason Aaron
Wow I didn't like this much at all.
So what happens when we need a reboot? We just kind of wipe away everything and give the same characters the same exact big over dramatic end of the world situations. Now, you're saying, well that's what the Avengers are for! Well..this is one of the most uninspired ways of doing it.
So the Avengers are getting the band back together. Tony, Steve, and Thor all decide it's time. Well, not really, but they have to because they're avengers. In doing so we do have a few replacements like She-Hulk and the New Ghost Rider, but honestly this is just one BIG, LONG, DRAWN OUT fight to save the world against huge monsters/creatures.
Good: I liked Ghost Rider in here, he was badass, and I love Robbie. I also thought the start was very tongue and cheek funny on talking about the industry and comics.
Bad: The rest. The art doesn't really work for me. Some of the designs are pretty awful (THOR WTF?) also the fights are uninspired as could be. I think the dialog is very mimicking of the movies but doesn't flow or work nearly as well here. The ending feels like "part 1" of a 12 part story that I have no interest in continuing.
Overall this is pretty bad. This might be one of the worst starts to a Avengers series for me. I can't give this higher than a 2...and that's me being nice.
