It's hard to recommend this book to any casual reader, but I think if people gave it a chance for either the story, or Gage's characterizations, or Mike McKone's art, they might find that this is a fun book that is certainly endearing. Read Full Review
This issue is thoroughly enjoyable and engaging, as I'm coming to expect from this title, as it hasn't yet disappointed me since its beginning. I hope that more readers will give this title a shot, as it's definitely a deserving title, and has some new characters that are being introduced into the Marvel Universe. This is Heroic Age's Avengers: Initiative, with a distinctive style and approach, both in the script and in the artwork, and worth of your time and money. Highly Recommended! Read Full Review

My advice is to get the team out in the field fighting the bad guys - after all, the X-Men didn't spend all their time in the Danger Room. Read Full Review
To be honest, the "I Am Avengers" promos that preceded this series made it look like it was going to be really cheesy and unnecessary. So I've been pleasantly surprised that this book has had such strong characterizations and a genuinely-interesting premise that doesn't encroach on the theme of any other team title. Actually, this is a great compliment piece to the Thunderbolts half of this crossover, which was rock solid on its own. Read Full Review

"Avengers Academy" is undeniably still a green book, but it quickly found its feet and is growing with each issue. It's even structured in such a way as to make it a satisfying issue-by-issue read, which is something increasingly rare at Marvel, particularly when the rest of the Avengers franchise seems geared towards collected readings. A great book with great characters, destined for greater things. Read Full Review
This issue of Avengers Academy is recommended only for fans of the new, new Thunderbolts and, of course, those who have the wisdom and taste to worship at the altar of Tigra. Read Full Review
