You can tell Ewing really loves these characters, and I hope it translates into a good run for this title.



The gist is that the other Avengers are all off-planet fighting, and Luke & his Heroes for Hire run into Superior Spidey.
He's an ass, makes fun of them for charging money, and convinces White Tiger to leave the group.
Psst...Jessica pays him back, eventually.



Even though Luke needs the money to support his family, some of what Otto says hits home. Still.
Diapers don't pay for themselves!
Trust me on that one...



I'm not sure what EVENT is going on during this title (Infinity?), but there's some evil dude controlling Dr. Strange, a tentacle monster downtown, and Thanos cackling and calling the shots from somewhere in space.
So.
Leftover Avengers Assemble!



Just kidding! These guys have some real powerhouses on the team, and with Luke as the leader, they kick the shit out of some aliens.
Plus, Spider Hero turns into a pretty badass Ronin.
*squee*



There's some new/old heroes in the group, a crossover thing with the Inhumans (Inhumanity?), and enough funny panels to keep my interst. There seems to be a lot of heart in this team, so for now I'm in!

Dear New York City,

Please accept my generous gift of a huge tentacle monster.

Enjoy it with my compliments.

I remain,

Thanos, Your Intergalactic Omnipotent Overlord

P.S. Please excuse the debris as we reduce your city to rubble.



Are New Yorkers going to take this lying down?



No siree, bub!

So where are the Avengers?

In space.

Huh? So, who’s defending the city?

No worries. Luke Cage and company are in the house.



What the hell? Is that…?

No, the Superior Spider-Man is hanging around too.

That’s Blade.

Seriously?

You heard me correctly, I said Blade

Yes, this is an Infinity crossover.

And it’s also an Inhumanity crossover.

And despite this, it’s actually a decent collection. Funny, quippy and plenty of fisticuffs.

Luke Cage is trying to form some sort of group that’s part Heroes for Hire and part Avengers and this is the journey towards his goal.



Bottom line: Not an A-list title, but a decent read; one that manages to straddle two crossover events and still does a decent job in carving out its own identity. One caveat: the Inhumanity issues are contained in Inhumanity. And check out the “superior” beat down, Jessica Jones gives Spidey.

Reread: 08/01/2023

This was so much fun as we see the new team forming in Infinity event and them fighting Proxima midnight and then Shuma gorath and my review this time around is same as last time but here this second time around you notice the banter between the character and how natural it feels and also you pick up on the little things, I like how Al focuses on Monica more and slowly hinting she could be Omega-level in terms of power scaling and thats awesome and writing Otto aka Superior Spider-man so well lol, that one just made me love this volume and a perfect legacy series to Bendis's new avengers!
______________________________________________________________
This was really good!

So when Proxima midnight attacks NY a new Avengers team is formed by Luke and the other heroes there and I love how the team comes together and then there is the stuff with Spectrum and Blue Marvel and then the coming of Shuma Gorath and things get even more dire as the team fights this new threat and well its awesome plus Superior Spider-man there ad his arrogance in contrast to Luke's calm demeanor is awesome and well later on when their battle for leadership happens I love the end result.

Plus the last story with them breaking into Inhuman capital to fight the threat of Quickfire and some deathwalkers and the new Ronin.. that seemed a little confusing and didn't really resolve itself, maybe in the future it might?

Overall it was a fun read and it focuses on characters who usually don't get a spotlight and does well to honor the legacy of Avengers and does pit them against the biggest of threats!

3.5 stars

Agreeable little distraction with an abundance of superhero action, some unsettling scenes (the angry tentacles protruding from the mouths of the Big Apple bystanders = nightmare fuel), and good quips / character description boxes. While I didn't understand absolutely everything going on - I last remember Monica Rambeau (drawn here to resemble Halle Berry's appearance as Storm in the X-Men: Last Stand flick) when she was Captain Marvel back in the 80's (!) - things were fast-paced enough that it didn't matter. Cameos by Blue Streak (again, the 80's! anyone else remember this villain?), the always-welcome Jessica Jones and a certain emerald litigator were a plus.

[Terence · Rating 3 out of 5]

With the Avengers off world trying to defend the galaxy, Thanos comes to Earth.

He sends Ebony Maw and Proxima Midnight to annihilate what he believes to be an Avengers-less New York.


The Mighty Avengers may as well be known as the replacements or the leftovers. Basically they are a few of the heroes not deemed crucial enough to take on the space mission. They had the luxury of facing off against Proxima Midnight with the help of a little old lady.


No Single Hero wasn't bad, but it wasn't all that interesting either. I'm not really a fan of any of the heroes in this volume (technically I like Spider-Man, but the Superior Spider-Man is a prick).

Marvel Exec #1: We’re going to reintroduce the Heroes for Hire with Luke Cage and everyone in their own series.
Head Honcho: I don’t hear the word AVENGERS or X-MEN in the title.
Marvel Exec #1: … that’s because they’re the Heroes for Hire.
Head Honcho: Are you fucking dumb?! Nobody knows who the fuck that is! It’s gotta have AVENGERS or X-MEN in the title! This is a goddamn 21st century Marvel comic, Thor-fucking-dammit!
Marvel Exec #1: Sir, maybe… maybe not every comic needs to be branded as either Avengers or X-Men?
Head Honcho: So, who’s in this thing?
Marvel Exec #2 (after Marvel Exec #1 is carried away, his groin thoroughly kicked by Head Honcho): Luke Cage, Power Man…
Head Honcho: They’re not the same thing?
Marvel Exec #2: Not any more, sir, and Superior Spider-Man, and…
Head Honcho: THAT’S GREAT! Let’s call this Superior Spider-Man and the whatevers! People LOVE Superior Spider-Man and I LOVE money!
Marvel Exec #2 (shielding groin): We’ll call it Mighty Avengers or something, sir, that seems more representative of the series.
Head Honcho: Whatever. I’m gonna go look at the sales figures for the New 52 and laugh til I pee on a statue of Superman!

*

So this is the new Heroes for Hire comic titled Mighty Avengers, a superhero team designed for street-level action even though they do the exact opposite during this entire first volume!

Let’s get Greg Land, the “artist” for this series, out of the way first. Print out a photo of a human. Take some tracing paper and place it over the photo. Then, using an unsharpened pencil, turn off the lights and get to work copying that photo! Turn the lights back on. Congratulations, you’ve surpassed Land’s abilities with that worthless scrawl in front of you!

You know those comics scripts you sometimes see in the backs of collected editions? I’d have actually preferred reading this book in that format. Get some eyewash when you’re done with this comic, you don’t want any Land getting in there - it’s nasty stuff!

Writing-wise, this isn’t a bad comic but doesn’t seem to be the likeliest of foundations for a lasting series. I mean, it’s immediately tied into the Infinity event comic when the Avengers all left Earth and Thanos and his fleet invaded. Luke Cage, Superior Spider-Man, Power Man, Jessica Jones, White Tiger, Spectrum, Falcon, Blue Marvel, a mystery man wearing a Spider-Man knockoff suit, and, in a cool cameo, She-Hulk, are all left behind, and decide to form a rudimentary Avengers team.

They battle Thanos’ emo lieutenants, a Lovecraftian monster, some rogue Inhumans, and Superior Spider-Man himself because Otto’s a dick and he can’t help himself! But, with Infinity over and done with, do they need to remain a team? Weren’t they brought together because of the dire situation Earth was in - with the Avengers back on Earth, aren’t they basically redundant?

Al Ewing’s script is fine but not amazing. He’s got Cage’s voice down and Otto’s, and the book moves along nicely, even if there’s nothing very original happening on the page. That said, there is a super-corny moment when ordinary New Yorkers stand up to Thanos’ troops, lobbing bricks at them and yelling AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

Maybe I’ve become too cynical but I would’ve loved for the granny that started all of that to get her head punched off by one of Thanos’ men. But no, like Hulk Hogan, the chant gives a felled Luke Cage the power to stand up and fight. You can practically hear Real American playing in that scene.

(When it comes crashing down and it hurts inside,
Ya gotta take a stand it don’t help to hide!

Seriously, I bet those lyrics were central to Al Ewing’s pitch for the series. )

I wasn’t too bored with Mighty Avengers nor was I terribly impressed either. It’s a middle of the road Marvel comic with some middle of the road characters (despite being in this first volume a lot, Spidey’s gone by the end). I suppose though for an Avengers comic these days, it’s pretty decent.

[Artemy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Always a pleasure to see Superior Spider-Man get his ass handed to him. Ewing's writing is great, Greg Land's art is really nice (I really don't get all the hate he seems to get from the comics-reading crowd), and overall this series seems to be a ton of fun. Surprising it never got a lot of buzz during the Marvel NOW years.

[James DeSantis · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was pretty fun.

Luke Cage decides it's time to bring a team together. A street level Avengers team. Well, of course not by his own choice. Thanos's henchmen come down and Luke, Superior Spider-man, and a couple of other heroes fight against them. That's when Luke begins to start the Mighty Avengers. Of course Superior Spider-man don't like that shit and goes against him for the leadership.

Good: Overall fun and easy read. Lots of good nerdy jokes if you are fans of these characters. The art was solid, fun, and easy to follow. Oh and Luke as a leader is always great, he has a awesome anime moment here.

Bad: It's nothing we haven't seen. Quips left and right can get boring. I also didn't like how they made Superior Spider-man kind of dumb.

Overall this was fun. I might keep reading. I don't know if it's a must read but if like Luke Cage get plenty of him! A 3 out of 5.

[Mike · Rating 4 out of 5]

Al Ewing kicks off with fast-paced action, some clever quips & great speeches and moments, and some clear characterizations - Power Man is the trying-too-hard tough guy, White Tiger the honour-bound family woman, Luke is Luke - heartfelt and blue collar - Superior Spidey is arrogant and genius. Even Monica Rambeau is snarky, restrained and a little tough to get to know.

Monica who? Shit, with Greg Land tracing some generic Halle Berry faces, and never varying the angles, I was sure this was some new character I'd never heard of. No way this unrecognizable face was someone I already knew. Christ Greg, if you're going to trace, why don't you just trace some other artist's previous drawings of Rambeau? Is that so hard to imagine?

And when did Monica Rambeau get such cool electromagnetic powers? Last I saw her, she was giving Carol Danvers a real hard time and avoiding trouble in New Orleans vicinity. Now she commands the whole spectrum? Very cool, but where I gotta backtrack to?

That goes double for Blue Marvel. Really? Where'd he come from? I gotta know people. Good non-white-male heroes, especially ones with a little grey and tragedy about them, this I want more of.

Quite an adventure in three issues, and especially when it's a tie-in to an event. How did I not know about Ale Ewing until now? This. This impresses on me we have a new great writer in our midst. Marvel, get your heads out of your asses, fire Greg Land already and find a better penciler for Mr. Ewing to shine.

I'll give Land one thing: his art is clean. I suspect it's because he doesn't know where to put his pencil if he's not ripping off someone or something else, so he doesn't want to add any extra lines in case he fucks up. Plus, with all that photocopy, it's all the inkers and colourists can do just to sharpen up the third-hand images into something recognizable. Which the inker Leisten and colourist D'Armata do admirably.

Four stars for Ewing (I'm not penalizing him that his editor stuck him with Land-o-tracers).

[Sesana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wonderfully, strangely fun. Sure, it has a great big Avengers stamped on the cover when it probably doesn't need to. Sure, Spider-Man shows up only because Marvel is contractually required to have him or Captain America in every Avengers book. But I can forgive the book when Superior Spider-Man is allowed to be as arrogant and controlling as he's become in his own book, and when the characters on the team conclude that his change in personality is because he's read Ayn Rand. I can forgive a lot when the action is good and the characters are interesting. And when She-Hulk makes a great guest appearance. It's just fun to read, and I like the idea of a book revolving around a team concentrating on street-level threats.

[David · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ah, it's the Black Avengers! With superior Spider-man! A pretty fun little book! Can't believe how many Avengers titles there are now. It's getting to be almost as bad as the X-books. The Avengers titles are much better than the X-books right now, as it should be, with the movies and all.
I like Greg Land's art, always have, but most of his women look exactly the same. In this book, the black Captain Marvel of the 80s looks exactly like Land's Jean Grey.

[Trike · Rating 2 out of 5]

This starts off really promisingly and then just slides into tedious banality.

Part of it isn’t the fault of writer Al Ewing. This book is victim to not one but two crossover events, so there are gaps in the storytelling dictated by corporate bullshit. I know I sound like a broken record, but I hate crossovers. If they happened once every five years it would be fine, but they happen every five minutes in Marvel, completely disrupting continuity.

I had high hopes for this book, as Luke Cage is one of my favorite heroes, and Spider-man *is* my favorite hero. But Cage only gets a little bit of screen time, while this is the mind-swapped Doctor Octopus version of Peter Parker, so that was a disappointment.

I was also excited to see Monica Rambeau show up, a very cool but sadly under-utilized character, and instead I got... J-Lo? WTF?

Then I realized the artist is Greg Land, whose reputation as the Carlos Mencia of comics is accurate. All he does is trace other artists’ work as well as found photos, and he is clearly using Jennifer Lopez for Spectrum. His Luke Cage is clearly tracings of Dwayne Johnson and Terry Crews, sometimes alternating between the two in panels next to each other. The same problem happens with Power Man, whose face morphs from panel to panel. Sometimes he’s Donald Glover. Sometimes he’s some guy Land found on Google.

His She-Hulk, Jessica Jones and White Tiger all seem to be based on the same photos, too, as they are indistinguishable other than coloring.

Ewing’s writing is decent, but every once in a while he slips into weird phrasing. So I looked him up and it turns out he’s a white British dude. Writing black and Hispanic Americans. So when Superior Spider-man threatens to have Luke and Jessica’s baby daughter “taken into care”, their reaction should be, “Who talks like that?” Ohh... white English people, that’s who.

I will not be continuing with this book.

[Shannon Appelcline · Rating 4 out of 5]

I hadn't known what to expect from Ewing, but this is a fun book. It's an Avengers that feels more like Cage's crew than v2 of the New Avengers ever did, and it's got a great cast of characters.

The first three issues are a direct crossover with Infinity, as we see how two members of the Black Order try to take over New York. There's a LOT of fighting. Despite that, Ewing spends a nice amount of time developing the characters, who are an intriguing bunch, particularly "Spectrum" and Blue Adam. The last two issues expand that characterization and also offer a nice timely showdown with the "Superior" Spider-Man. This is all pretty light fare, but it's pretty OK for a supers comic, ad it's diversity really makes it something else.

Overall, a good addition to the Avengers universe.

[J · Rating 4 out of 5]

Um, wow.

When I first heard about a book of mainly non-white Avengers, I was like, "what? How tokenism can you get?"

But this book was a lot of fun. Lots of humor, good fight scenes, a little mystery going on, and enough information that made reading it before finishing Infinity easy enough to do.

The art is good, so not sure what's going on with the hate for Greg Land. Some places he was a bit weak, but no more than most artists drawing in the "super-hero" style.

Looking forward to the next volume of this book.

Vuelta a los cómics de Superhéroes, vuelta a Marvel, y vuelta a una colección que surgió de Infinito y del ataque de Thanos a la Tierra. La colección Poderosos Vengadores (Mighty Avengers en inglés) había tomado el nombre de la colección clásica, los Vengadores de toda la vida, que había sido sustituida por Los Nuevos Vengadores con la llegada de Bendis. Después de Civil War, el escritor había recuperado la antigua cabecera clásica, los Poderosos Vengadores, como ubicación para Iron Man y sus "Vengadores oficiales", por así decirlo; y posteriormente, después de Invasión Secreta, habían sido el lugar desde el que el equipo liderado por Hank Pym le había tocado las pelotas a base de bien a Norman Osborn. El caso es que el título había quedado de nuevo en el limbo después de Patrulla-X vs Vengadores; con la llegada de Hickman, y con Infinito, decidieron recuperarlo. Ya hemos visto que el proyecto de Vengadores de Hickman era un proyecto global y cósmico, pero Bendis nos había traído también unos vengadores urbanos, cercanos a los problemas de la calle, especialmente en la figura de Luke Cage, y ese va a ser el papel que van a cumplir estos nuevos Poderosos Vengadores, el de los héroes de la calle. En este primer arco vamos a ver como el ataque que Medianoche Próxima dirige a Nueva York mientras Fauces Negras trata de dominar al Doctor Extraño, hace que se reúna el equipo: Luke Cage, Spiderman Superior, Spectrum, Power Man, Tigre Blanco y el misterioso "SpiderHero", a los que posteriormente se unirán Hulka, el Halcón y Blue Marvel.

Ni un Héroe Solo sirve como punto de arranque para la serie y sitúa al equipo en el universo Marvel, que después de Infinito se encontraba en pleno auge de los Inhumanos (proyectados como sustitutos para los mutantes; cuyos derechos cinematograficos estaban en manos de Fox), y vamos a ver al nuevo equipo enfrentarse a Medianoche Próxima y sus secuaces, a Shuma-Gorath y a una especie de lobos mágicos que buscan algo en la hundida Attilan. Y bueno, lo hace con cierta gracia, y con un Greg Land bastante más expresivo de lo que había conseguido estar en su última etapa en X-Men; y realmente hay alguna escena brillante, con la anciana gritando en español "No pasarán" a las fuerzas de Thanos y tirándoles ladrillos, por ejemplo. Pero bueno, no es nada del otro jueves, la verdad... apañado, eso sí. Funcional, quizá. Pero en fin, cosas peores se han visto...

I love the Mighty Avengers SO MUCH. Al Ewing is doing a fabulous job--there's such great comic relief I forgot there was an Infinity arc tie in. A++++++++.

[Krzysztof Grabowski · Rating 3 out of 5]

Drugie już podejście do tematu po Bendis'ie i Slott'cie do nieco innej grupy bohaterskiej. Chwilami ci "inni" Avengers dawali mi takie swoiste guilty pleasure, które sprawiało, że nieraz myślałem o pełnej czwóreczce, ale koniec końców po lekturze troszeczkę ostygłem i prześledziłem sobie całość raz jeszcze. Jest dobrze, ale są tu pewne braki.

Różne sytuację wymagają różnych środków. W sytuacji gdy trzeba zderzyć się z problemem, który nas przerasta, czasami trzeba się sprzymierzyć, aby wyjść z tarczą, a nie na niej. Głównym czynnikiem powodującym powstanie tytułowej drużyny jest najazd sił Thanosa na Nowy York. Wraże wojaki pod wodzą Proximy Midnight mają zdemolować miasto i częściowo udaje im się to, przynajmniej do czasu gdy drużyna herosów do wynajęcia pod wodzą Luke'a Cage'a robi: Avengers Assemble! Oczywiście nie ominie nas prezentacja bohaterów i ich mocy, to żelazny punkt programu na początku. Jest fajny.

Nie jest to może poziom mocy jak "prawilna" ekipa Mścicieli, ale chłopaki i dziewczyny dają radę. Mamy tu jeszcze: nowego Power Mana, Superior Spider-mana, Blue Marvela (what?), White Tiger czy wreszcie Spectrum (Falcona na razie nie liczę, bo on jest na doczepkę). Jest też jeden zagadkowy jegomość, z którym miałem sporo ubawu, zwłaszcza kiedy ubrał się jak Pajęczak. Zresztą tu o reakcję Otto... Ups, Spider-mana chodzi, który jednak w kilku momentach zdecydowanie przesadza i nie pasowało mi to bardzo do tej postaci (choć widok Pajęczaka z wojskową czapka na głowie, w tej konfiguracji... bezcenny). Było to nielogiczne, tak jak tekst o możliwym pozwaniu go przez Luke'a czy jego żony, w sytuacji gdy de facto to ONI go zaatakowali. Ja wiem, że to miało być cool i w ogóle, ale... Czemu tak? Zwłaszcza, że groźby Pająka w stosunku do odbioru dziecka pojawiły się po napaści...

Wracając do ataku na Nowy Jork, całość była mega efektowna. Gdzieś obok pokazano Ebony Maw'a, który miesza na potęgę w głowie Dr. Strange'a i wykorzystuje jego moce do wsparcia Proximy, dając pole do popisu potężniejszym istotom. Niestety Mighty Avengers mają te problemy co te wszystkie tie-in. W większości są zbędne. I miejscami to tu czułem. Ale tylko miejscami. Zwłaszcza wątek grabieży upadłego miasta Attilan, gdzie pojawia się Cortex Inc. pod wodzą Quantrella i Quickfire, będącą na garnuszku firmy wydawał mi się wrzucony na siłę. Po co, skoro jedynym plusem tej sytuacji była moc tej bohaterki do wynajęcia. Za to "nowy" Ronin prezentuje się prawdziwie kozacko.

Mighty Avengers otwierają swoje podwoje z dużym hukiem, ale to takie głośne sztuczne ognie niźli realna moc, która zrywa papucie z nóg. Jest tu wiele scen, które dały mi czysty fan, ale miejscami miałem nieodparte wrażenie "meh" ze względu na głupotki fabularne. No i jestem konkretnie ciekaw, kto u licha kryje się pod tą maską... 3.5/5

[Villain E · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another first issue that does a crap job of reintroducing the characters. If the point of restarting at number one is to attract new readers, then you need to write for new readers. This completely fails to do so.

In the middle of the Infinity crossover, the Avengers are off-world when Thanos and his minions show up. Luke Cage and some friends are doing the Hero For Hire thing when New York is attacked, first by Proxima Midnight, then by Shuma Gorath, who's been summoned by a possessed Dr. Strange (see the Infinity crossover again). After the fight, Luke decides to rebrand his group as Avengers and the Superior Spider-Man decides he should be in charge. Meanwhile, a mystery teammate takes a group to investigate Attilan (see the Infinity crossover again) and they encounter some supernatural baddies who I believe are new but are just as poorly introduced as the chracters we already know.

Don't get me wrong, the writing and art are pretty good with regards to chrafterization and interactions, plot development and action sequences. But you have to be reading every other book at Marvel for this to make sense.

[Centauri · Rating 3 out of 5]

Art was good. And I appreciate what was attempted. But Luke Cage as a leader of a team of cosmic defenders did not feel proper. Street level hero for hire being forced to lead a team to save his city can happen, and the struggles he faced with leading were accurate. I just feel like the author needed to push it more. The emotion of him being out of his norm and comfort zone should have been dealt with more; a bit more of the focus. His relationships with people were how he gathered the team, and it was his traits of humanity that kept them fighting together. That aspect was expressed nicely. Cage was not a natural leader, but the trust he garnered allowed other heroes to follow his lead at a time when cooperation was key. The villain and their mission was the major draw in this tale. It was supposed to be what carried the characters from moment to moment, but it just got in the way of the tale being told; it did not embellish or aid the story.

[John · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ewing is one of my favorite writers; high ambitions with serviceable execution (and sometimes sublime such as with Hulk and his Ultimates).

Mighty Avengers is basically a blending of Heroes for Hire and Avengers for a street level team that's still sometimes tackles some cosmic stuff. They're community focused and driven.

Its not as hard hitting as Aarons or Hickmans Avengers but I prefer it to Bendis reign.

What makes this book a bit special is how its largely assembled from people of color. Something that had been attempted a bit with The Crew, Milestone and Hudlin's Black Panther reign. However, it os being headed by a white male writer.

While Ewing seems to have good politics and and appears to be very well-intentioned I've got to be a bit suspect why this team didn't have a mote inclusive creative team.

[Sean · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another iteration of the Avengers comes into play and its...okay. What starts as Heroes For Hire morphs into something better. I like the cast but the book's inclusion in Infinity and then Inhumanity events didn't do it any favors. There are a couple of mysteries but I'm not sure any of them will actually be important. Greg Land's art wasn't as stiff as normal but their were some strange faces as usual. Overall, a decent beginning to a book that I imagine isn't long for this world.

[Ernest · Rating 1 out of 5]

I was…, well, bored reading this volume. Sure, the art was fine and the big fights were well staged. It is just that I was just turning over the pages waiting to be engaged in some way (by the story, characters, mystery, something) and then it was over. I know I’m probably in the minority in this, but it wasn’t so much that I hated this volume and more than I felt nothing towards it.
