Hickman's Avengers: The good, the bad & the bloated

Рет қаралды 3,114

Jonathan Hickman took over the Avengers in 2013, and following his success on the Fantastic Four, he wanted to take it one step further and re-shape the entire Marvel Universe. With a grand sci-fi epic like nothing had been attempted before, and the illuminati having re-assembled, how good is the run that set the stage for Secret Wars?
It's a beloved series, but I have to be honest in this review, and you might not like what I have to say...

To each his own! I thoroughly enjoyed this run, loved the whole hyperion-Thor bromance, and it had a whole lot of holy s### moments for me. This was during a period where a lot of things were happening concurrently, Iron Man was infamous Iron man, Steve was aged rapidly, Thor was unworthy, Spidey was superior spidey. So all in all, I found it fantastic what he was able to do.

Hickmans Fantastic Four was one of the first runs I fully read and I loved it it has some of my favourite moments in comics in it, this run to me has the same highs and lows the stakes are the highest they could be and I love it.

I don't care if this is bad or not. Hickman's Avengers/New Avengers is one of his best works since Fantastic Four and Secret Warriors. I know I need to read Avengers and New Avengers.

Dropped a LIKE but not watching, as not read the Hickvengers yet but recently picked them up. Only heard good things. Will aim to return once I've tackled it myself 🙂

My only real gripe is that secret wars wasnt what i thought it was but apart from that i personally loved the run as it tackled its sci fi themes well enough while being an entertaining team up story

Seeing a Maddogg vid in my feed always cheers me up after a long crappy day. I'll give this a watch later tonight. A idea I'd like to see on the channel is how to understand the complete DC comics timeline. If anyone can do it you can mate ha ha😋

Marcus, I need that Radiant Black/Massive-Verse video. Could be a review, discussion, or a How-To-Collect. I Think it would be awesome.

I agree that this run may have been overly ambitious. There may be a few too many plot threads. That said, I’ve never enjoyed the Avengers so much. Usually not my jam. I read both omnis over a couple of weeks. It usually takes me months to get through one. Doesn’t quite live up to Hickman’s Fantastic Four.

@maxwashingtonsongs3817 6 ай бұрын

I’m enjoying your vid! Interesting thoughts and cool art. This run is on my tbr list. I love Hickman’s SHIELD run. And his awesome New Mutants volume one is surprisingly funny ✨✨✨✨✨

@Rodimusprimerib 6 ай бұрын

Aww yeah a new video from the Maddogg himself. I totally agree i felt this run was great but not the super awesome best story ever told. Hickmans FF run i liked way more. Some parts really drag out but it hooks you.

@shengcer 6 ай бұрын

Great video, very balanced assessment of the strength and weakness of this run. For me, I think Steve and Tony are a bit deconstructed too much - towards the end they are almost unrecognizable. But maybe that’s Hickman’s point, see how too far ego would drag normal humans towards the extreme.

I like this run mostly but ut like felt more like all setup for Secret Wars. Does not really feel like a story.

You didn't mention Avengers World Complete Collection for the full experience. Might have been why you didn't like the second omni...

I tend to agree with you on this. I was severely underwhelmed by this run. It felt like it went nowhere in the end. Easily Hickman’s weakest Marvel work.

@warrenweaver6664 6 ай бұрын

Didn’t enjoy anything of Hickman Avengers to be honest found it so boring along with his FF haven’t enjoyed the Avengers since Bendis NA run.

I didnt like these 2 omnibus either, it wouldnt end fast enough!

@davidgraham8299 6 ай бұрын

This was NOT an Avengers book. It's Hickman's masterplan but they didn't know where to do it, so they slapped an Avengers title on it and put a few disparite characters in it. Told us everything was important and in the end nothing really was. So nice ideas, but really, a load of crap.

@omnitheus5442 2 ай бұрын

Made Avengers relevant. This is supposed to be the A-Team of Marvel like the Justice League of DC... This was a great read!
