Perhaps the virtually high profile mass of the post-Secret Wars Marvel relaunch, All-New All-Different Avengers #1 teams superstar author Mark Waid with artists Adam Kubert together with Mahmud Asrar. The mass revolves to a greater extent than or less a newly formed Avengers squad that includes Thor, Captain America together with Iron Man, amongst the younger to a greater extent than inexperienced heroes Nova, Ms Marvel together with Miles Morales aka Spider-Man. With a strong creative squad at the helm together with a cast of pop characters, this mass has a lot of potential to hold upwards a striking with readers: but what was the verdict when it striking shelves on Wednesday?
The Writing
All-New All-Different Avengers #1 is comprised of ii stories, a principal together with a back-up. The principal storyline centres on the novel Avengers squad equally it begins to form, coming together inwards the wake of an onrush yesteryear a Chitauri warlord. The principal even out drew some criticism for feeling somewhat formulaic peculiarly for a mass with the words "all-new" inwards the title. Indeed, Adventures inwards Poor Taste author Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan Richards said that the "only existent work with this even out is that the entirety of the number is pretty much merely prepare with piddling excitement." This was a verdict shared yesteryear some critics, with Newsarama's Justin Partridge agreeing that it was unfortunate that the mass "adheres to the team-building trope of non bringing the squad together merely yet." Other critics expressed disappointment that some of the characters on Alex Ross' stunning encompass don't halt upwards making an appearance inwards this issue. The virtually volatile reaction to this conclusion may guide maintain come upwards from Comic Book Revolution where the mass received its virtually negative review, with author Rokk showing dissatisfaction at the possibility of "one of those dull 4 to 8 number even out arcs where nosotros guide maintain to sit down through the hackneyed opening even out arc approach of assembling the team."
However, field some people did observe the execution of this opening number to hold upwards less than original, it should hold upwards stressed that this mass received much praise inwards other areas - for example, its characterisation. Comicosity's Allen Thomas commended Mark Waid for agreement his characters "in a real deep, introspective way," together with for "bringing out the unique aspects," of each fellow member of his cast. Comic Book Resources' Jim Johnson agreed that "the consistency of characterization is a refreshing endeavor on Waid's part, equally he respects the events of the characters' principal titles field soundless bringing his ain science together with mode to the issue." This dedication to respecting plot threads from titles across the Marvel relaunch was brought upwards inwards a few reviews inwards a generally positive context, notwithstanding IGN author Jeff Lake did heighten the number that as, "we're soundless inwards the infancy of this post service Secret Wars world, non all of these plot threads business upwards quite equally easily equally others."
The light-hearted back-up even out featuring Nova together with Ms. Marvel titled "You're Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Jerk," received a warm reception from many critics - inwards some cases, warmer than that which the principal even out received. Indeed, Multiversity Comics author Stephenson Ardern-Sodje wrote inwards his review that the back-up story, "definitely interested me more, fifty-fifty though the even out seems largely detached from the principal narrative." Waid was widely praised for making the awkward showtime coming together of Sam Alexander together with Kamala Khan experience genuine, together with filling it with humorous together with relatable moments. Comic Book Resources explained that this "hilariously painful dynamic" made the even out a "wonderful" read, field IGN declared that it was "social awkwardness at its finest." That existence said, equally has already been mentioned the even out has relatively piddling to exercise with the principal plot of this book, together with this led some to wonder whether it was the best conclusion to include it here. Multiversity Comics said "its inclusion feels equally though it's stealing pages from the 'main' narrative," an sentiment shared yesteryear IGN who claimed that the add-on of this back-up left the principal even out "feeling surprisingly brisk for such a marquee launch."
The Art
The fine art inwards this mass is completed yesteryear ii divide creative teams, with the principal even out yesteryear Adam Kubert together with Sonia Obak together with the back-up yesteryear Mahmud Asrar together with Dave McCaig. Both teams were given much praise inwards reviews for this opening issue. Adventures inwards Poor Taste said inwards their review that Kubert's "layouts are tardily to read together with catamenia well," with the creative mortal existence called out virtually for his function on an opening sequence inwards which Captain America saves a household unit of measurement whose vehicle was plummeting off the Queensboro Bridge. Comicosity described these panels equally "incredibly dynamic" field Comic Book Resources idea Kubert's function gave the "opening sequence a cinematic quality." But Kubert seemingly kept a high score of lineament fifty-fifty when the activity died down, equally Multiversity Comics explicate that "his panelling is inventive plenty to flit betwixt conversations inwards cars together with high-impact Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation assaults together with switch gears accordingly."
Asrar too garnered much acclaim for his function inwards the back-up story, with Adventures inwards Poor Taste going equally far to country that Asrar's fine art was "even better" than Kubert's. Critics were virtually fond of Asrar's portrayal of Nova together with Ms Marvel's to a greater extent than subtle expressions together with trunk language, with IGN maxim that his "pitch perfect facial cues align wonderfully with Waid's increasingly awkward introspection." Meanwhile, Multiversity Comics too praised this aspect of Asrar's art, pointing out that "the deftness of his micro-expressions makes for a genuinely awkward telephone commutation betwixt Sam together with Kamala that is funny together with tense inwards equal measure."
General Consensus:
While anchored yesteryear some strong graphic symbol moments, the even out inwards All-New All-Different Avengers #1 feels somewhat by-the numbers together with could mayhap guide maintain used to a greater extent than infinite to prepare - infinite taken upwards inwards this number yesteryear a fun if inconsequential back-up even out featuring Nova together with Ms. Marvel. However, virtually critics saw potential for this serial to come upwards into its ain inwards hereafter issues, together with the artwork yesteryear Adam Kubert together with Mahmud Asrar was met with universal acclaim.
