The second weekly Avengers comic is unfortunately a step down from the first.It's great to see some of these characters again, especially the holdovers from Al Ewing's Avengers comics, but boy this is a random crew. It's great to have individual issues giving insight into characters, but they're a lot more unfocused than in the previous series. It's great to see Conan in the Marvel Universe. (No qualifiers there: Jim Zub writes him well.)The comic has the epic scope that you'd want, and the vill...

I've been in an out of the Big 2 for a few years now and not paying much attention to the post-Hickman world of Marvel. Grabbed this one randomly from the library because Mark Said was one of those guys writing great stories in the 90s when I was peak geek. This doesn't disappoint- it's fun as shit. Anyone complaining about the lineup hasn't read any of the copper era books and doesn't know how to have fun. Conan is the biggest bonus here. Needed a few more soap-opera-ish strings to pull, like S...

Another 10 week run series, but is this one better than the last? Well...yes. Yes it is. So we have the gods getting killed by some evil dark woman (very similar to Hela) and now Hercules and the B-list avengers begin to team up to take her and her people down. This includes some heroes might know like The Vision, Hulk, Hawkeye, Rocket, and more. This also introduces Conan. Yes, that Barbarian. Together, will they be able to defeat the evil? Well...this is the Avengers. Overall, this was a prett...

This was such a fantastic read and one of my favorite Avengers stories ever!Spinning out of No Surrender it pits the team against Nyx and her children - Hypnos, Apate, Dolos and Oizys and we see her origin and like how its connected to the story of No Surrender and its brilliantly written and I like the way they gave her motive and how her powers are divided into shards and how each issue has her face off against different Avengers. The character beats are awesome like you feel the tension betwe...

Too much of what Marvel comics does seems to be tied primarily making money as opposed to telling stories..we get a 10 issues series (with 3 giant sized issues) to tell a pretty not new story of a team of Avengers, most looking for some kind of redemption or purpose fighting an unbeatable and near omnipotent villain...Plusses including Clint and Bruce in the same rom. Voyager! Interesting Hercules character development. Nice Spectrum look at. The ending and biggish repercussions on the Marvel Un...

Good read, from which Conan re-enter Marvelverse.

4.5🌟This was actually really good. The writting team nailed the characterizations. Also there is an original super villain created here. For a weekly comic with 3 writers and 2 art teams this really flows well, and you could have fooled me into thinking this had one writer, and one art team. I'd like to also point out there isn't any crossover action I feel like this can be enjoyed as a stand alone. I rarely read Avengers and I loved this and wasn't at all confused cuz like I said the main stren...

Never would have thought I’d like a Conan/Wanda team up, but this worked. Also liked them not keeping Hercules as a jokester Thor and letting him be a better character

Voyager (the Grandmaster's daughter, who we last saw in Avengers: No Surrender) kicks things off here as she gathers a team of Avengers to help combat a great tragedy that has befallen. The majority of the pantheon of Olympians have been killed. As Hercules observes, shocked beyond reason, we find that this chaos is all orchestrated by Nyx, Goddess of Night, who has escaped her long imprisonment. Hoping to stop them from thwarting her plans (reclaiming the 3 pieces of her heart), she divides the...

A reunion of the team that did No Surrender; while I liked this more, and this felt like it had more stakes, it was still unable to really rise up and take hold of my imagination.

I picked up this book to read a story with some less-used Avengers characters thinking it would be interesting to see how they were used. I quickly realized that you really needed to have read Avengers: No Surrender, or it wouldn't make a lot of sense, even though it wasn't quite the same batch of characters, so I stopped after maybe the first issue and went and read that, which was quite good. I then came back and read this, which I enjoyed quite a bit. It did have some more prominent Avengers,...

The writers from Avengers: No Surrender team up again for another weekly Avengers story. This time they collect a bunch of random Avengers and not so Avengers to fight the Greek goddess of night, Nyx. There are some interesting moments like Hawkeye getting threatened by the evil Immortal Hulk. I thought bringing Conan the Barbarian into this would be dumb but the issue where it's just him and Scarlet Witch wandering around Cimmaria was the best part of the whole book. Overall this is just a lot

The Avengers: No Surrender creative team reunite to bring you a new 10 part event, Avengers: No Road Home. When Nyx, Goddess of Night is resurrected as a result of the events of No Surrender, she takes out her rage on the Gods of Olympus. Now, only a ragtag group of Avengers lead by Hercules stand in her way from reclaiming the three shards of her shattered power and enveloping the entire universe in darkness.I loved No Surrender, so when I saw that No Road Home was going to be a thing, I was un...

A Strong Team-UpThis was a pretty fun read. It's a decent mix of heroes, some more classic Avengers and others newer. My favorites ended up being Hercules, who was the most central character, in my opinion, and the Scarlet Witch, who had the most interesting crossover. The ending, while nice artistically, felt anticlimactic to me, and for a moment I thought I was reading a DC book, as that house has House of Mystery just written all over it. Every time I saw it I thought the same thing before re...

The storyline that brings Conan the Barbarian to the modern Marvel Universe. 7 of Earth’s mightiest heroes unite when darkness falls on the universe and the gods are destroyed. Interesting story with fairly decent artwork and writing. However, not too notable except for the addition of Conan.

This is one of the best Avengers events I have ever read in modern times!! This 10 part weekly epic does a great job at balancing character development with an epic adventure story! This epitomized what I loved about Marvel Comics growing up and just made me feel like I did when I first had gotten into reading comics when I was 10. Voyager is Back! And she's assembled a team consisting of Hercules, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Spectrum, Hulk, Hawkeye, and Rocket Raccoon to take on Nyx the Goddess of N...

The follow-up to No Surrender, and if nothing else it is four issues shorter. Once again, the not terribly interesting junior elder of the universe Voyager rounds up a grab bag of heroes to face a cosmic threat; once again, they're split up to go after the plot tokens, contending along the way with the big bad's even duller catspaws. Opening with night somehow falling everywhere across the universe at once – even for those who are right next to their nearest sun – it does have its good ideas her...

A bit on the corny side (the solution to everything is literally found in "the house of ideas"--bleah). And keep Conan where he belongs, which is not in the MCU-proper, for God's sake. Otherwise, not terrible...

Well, at least this answered my question about how Marvel was going to pull Conan the Barbarian into the Avengers.

Another strong Marvel event like Avengers: No Surrender before it, though No Road Home fails to stick the landing. A grab-bag of Marvel heroes are zapped by Voyager to Hercules' home, Olympus, where they discover the Goddess of Night, Nyx, has murdered everyone! She's also turned the lights off across the universe (though everyone seems to be able to see just fine...), so the heroes team up to stop her.Stopping Nyx involves collecting a trio of night stones before she does. This plot device remi...
