At a secret Hydra installation hidden away in rural Japan, the Avengers discover a time-portal that sends them on an adventure that spans millennia. But what kind of bad guys have a time machine they don't use to change the past? Bad guys who know they win. Now the team must leap through time to figure out what kind of horrors Hydra have cooked up for the world, but something goes horribly wrong. Something always does.

Time Traaaaaavel!
It was a cockamamie plot with no real point, but I'm sort of used to that by now, so it didn't really faze me.
But the characters were cool, the dialogue was funny, and the story didn't seem to take itself very seriously. So. Yeah, I liked it well enough.
Alrighty! Wanda and Pietro are on vacation together.
Because that's what most normal grown brothers and sisters do.
They vacation together. Alone. Without anyone else.
Not creepy or weird...at all. *cough*
Um...
But whatever. The point is, Wanda senses a disturbance in The Force, and sends Pietro scurrying back to the Avengers mansion to collect reinforcements.
The Avengers wisely decide to step through a Hydra time portal, end up getting separated across the time stream, and hilarity ensues.
What follows is a nonsensical story about Hydra burying a dragon egg in the past, a burned out dystopian future, and Peter dressing up as a Geisha during of of the World Wars.
I forget which one. And, face it, it doesn't really matter anyway.
I still don't know how they managed to fix it all, but that's ok, because I don't think they did either. Basically Cap, who is hanging out with Hawkeye and Quicksilver in the Days of Cavemen, (somehow) manages to freeze himself again...
Tony, Peter, and Natasha find Capsicle in Japan...but leave him frozen so that Bruce and Wanda can find him someday in the farfarfar future.
And...*cough*...for some reason, this ends up helping them all get back to the past/future/present. Anyway, they all meet up again, and open up a can of whoop-ass on a poor man's Godzilla monster called Kakaranatharaian.
I swear to God!
Right. They beat both Hydra and Godzilla by...
You know what, they don't even pretend to know, so I'm not going to even pretend to explain it.
Hawkeye just dribbled some Magic Dirt over what was left of the egg, and they electrocuted it with Time Syrup or something, and everything goes back to normal.
The end!
And I know that sounds horrible, but this wasn't all that bad. It was kinda of fun in a WhoTheFuckCares sort of way. Just silly comic book antics, you know?
Alright, because this was only 4 issues long, Marvel kindly thought to pad this one with some ancient issues from the days of yore. And in keeping with the theme, we get the best time travel stories from 1963!
Avengers # 56 & #71
I know, right?! Now settle down so I can tell you all about it.
The first one is about the gang going back in time because Cap wants to confirm that Bucky really died. He's holding out hope that his little pal made it off that rocket before it exploded.
Poor Steve...so delusional. Let it go, buddy. Bucky is gone, and he's never coming back.
Of course, this volume wouldn't be complete without a story about Kang, now would it?
Lucky us, it's complete!
On the back TheLatestPull.com says, My god is it good.
Well, I don't know if I'd go that far, but I would say, My god it could've been a whole helluva lot worse.

Kind of silly quick plot. Didn't make alot of sense but didn't seem to care. Some early fun stuff between Spiderman and Hawkeye that got a bit annoying without a good story to frame it.

This wasn't super special. Although, as far as recent Avengers comics go, it's nice to have the team working together and not fighting each other. The premise is okay, the action scenes are fine. I was a little peeved at Spidey referring to Nat as a Russian supermodel. He's worked with her long enough to know that's not a way to describe her.
Anyway, it was fun enough to read. Mainly, I just liked Wanda's artwork.

Very funny time-travel one-shot story. Laughed a lot! XD

Bit of a weird plot line but Hawkeye definitely made up for it (doesn't he usually?). I will say this, the two classic Avengers comics that came with the kindle version were epic. Here's a sample of what you'll get if you decide to buy this book:

—Five Guys al menos tiene una docena de variantes. Hamburguesas para todos los gustos, y el sabor es siempre grandioso.
—Verás, ese es el problema. Yo solo quiero una hamburguesa. No quiero que me confundan con un millón de opciones.
—Este tipo creció en un circo y ahora lo confunden los pepinillos. Permanezcan en la escuela, chicos.
Buenísimo.

Because it was The Avengers, I kinda got my hopes up, but because it was written by Costa, I didn't wanna get my hopes up, ...
It is an amusing diversion.

Blah. There are a couple of cute moments, but the story seems way too complicated for such little payoff.
I've been trying to find this Avengers book where vicious armies of Avengers worshippers for the future time travel to the present. It wasn't this book.

Another throw-away storyline but again, not the worst. I liked the way the teams were split up, it made for some great play-by-play in the conversation.

The definition of a nothing story but Hawkeye was fun and the art was great.

I wanted to give this 4 stars because I enjoyed Hawkeye and Spider-Man's interactions so much and found the kookie time travel story enjoyable even if it was a bit predictable. However I did not enjoy the two old issues tacked on at the end, I assume just because they involved the Avengers time traveling, that I have to go with three stars. I really didn't care for the Avengers before the movies (an Avengers comic I had to buy as part of a massive crossover in the late 90s stands out as a comic I most regret buying and really turned me off the whole concept until the movies...)
The art was iffy, for some reason some of the panels had a quality that seemed like a picture was zoomed in on instead of just drawn the "right" size and it bugged me a bit. I saw from the note at the end that it's actually quite likely that is what happened because the story was originally in a digital format, possibly with moving pictures (it's hard to tell on the sketched storyboards), and they had to kind of splice it together for print. I liked the style okay, except the zoomed in issues, and when the third issue had a different artist it didn't really attract my notice, but on the fourth issue the assistant artist matched the bad issues of the original artist's style, enhancing the unpleasantness for me.

2.5, I think this is more for younger kids opposed to older teens. (which is what we categorized it as at my library) If the art was a little better it would of been 3 stars but its lackluster and the thick outlines drive me crazy. The story is about time travel, big shocker from marvel. It revolves around Hydra and a secret base that the Maximoff twins discover and call in the Avengers. They split up and go to the past and future to stop Hydra.
Spoilers/recap
Giant dragon egg buried in the past, hatches 13 centuries later to destroy the Avengers. Big hydra fail and story was meh.

I would have loved to have seen this expanded into a few more issues. It's a quickie version of a time travel story. It suffers a bit as the plot has to be dumbed down to fit it into 4 issues. Oh yeah, this is really a 4 issue series with 2 filler reprints of 60's era Avengers issues. The best part of the book is the dialogue. Spider-Man and Hawkeye's banter is fantastic. However, Mike Costa must not be from NYC because all New Yorkers know the best burger chain in the city is Shake Shack.

Steals a major plot point from a memorable Amy and Rory episode of DOCTOR WHO this otherwise ho-hum effort sees the odd paring of Scarlet Witch and Hulk trapped in the far future alone that does engage a smile or two. Though marred by crass fast-food product placement advertisements. Were those paid for? Or did the author think he was being funny? Whatever. A commercial for junk food is a commercial for junk food. Bad on you Marvel.
March 8, 2016
A great ensemble wasted on a thin plot about time travel. The wise cracks seemed perfunctory while the art was inconsistent. The 2 classic tales pegged at the end of this volume was a nostalgic peek into the Avengers of old: so much action & words cramped into so few pages. This one not recommended unless you want mindless action.

fun little time travel tale

Wasn't interested in the older issues included in it, but the newer ones were pretty much everything I ever wanted in an Avengers comic.

Es una historia divertida, el final es algo plano pero la historia es graciosa y eso compensa mucho.
January 24, 2016
Not mind blowing, but good. Fun to compare the new style with the two issues from the 1960s.

Primer cómic, no tengo con qué compararlo pero me gustó mucho.
January 6, 2017
Marvel Comic tend to be fairly dark and serious these days, so this adventure filled with hilarious dialogue was really a breath of fresh air for me. Purely fun!
April 13, 2017
Ewwwww........why was this made? Seriously? You have Avengers, Hydra, & time travel all together and somehow have a terrible story. All these great elements add up to next to nothing here. The story makes no sense, and I'm not talking normal time travel zaniness. The art is scratchy and looked unfinished. The biggest problem though is the ridiculous story that is full of bad storytelling coincidences. Just bad. Stay away.
