About the author
Jason Aaron
2,360 books1,677 followersJason Aaron grew up in a small town in Alabama. His cousin, Gustav Hasford, who wrote the semi-autobiographical novel The Short-Timers, on which the feature film Full Metal Jacket was based, was a large influence on Aaron. Aaron decided he wanted to write comics as a child, and though his father was skeptical when Aaron informed him of this aspiration, his mother took Aaron to drug stores, where he would purchase books from spinner racks, some of which he still owns today.
Aaron's career in comics began in 2001 when he won a Marvel Comics talent search contest with an eight-page Wolverine back-up story script. The story, which was published in Wolverine #175 (June 2002), gave him the opportunity to pitch subsequent ideas to editors.
In 2006, Aaron made a blind submission to DC/Vertigo, who published his first major work, the Vietnam War story The Other Side which was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Miniseries, and which Aaron regards as the "second time" he broke into the industry.
Following this, Vertigo asked him to pitch other ideas, which led to the series Scalped, a creator-owned series set on the fictional Prairie Rose Indian Reservation and published by DC/Vertigo.
In 2007, Aaron wrote Ripclaw: Pilot Season for Top Cow Productions. Later that year, Marvel editor Axel Alonso, who was impressed by The Other Side and Scalped, hired Aaron to write issues of Wolverine, Black Panther and eventually, an extended run on Ghost Rider that began in April 2008. His continued work on Black Panther also included a tie-in to the company-wide crossover storyline along with a "Secret Invasion" with David Lapham in 2009.
In January 2008, he signed an exclusive contract with Marvel, though it would not affect his work on Scalped. Later that July, he wrote the Penguin issue of The Joker's Asylum.
After a 4-issue stint on Wolverine in 2007, Aaron returned to the character with the ongoing series Wolverine: Weapon X, launched to coincide with the feature film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Aaron commented, "With Wolverine: Weapon X we'll be trying to mix things up like that from arc to arc, so the first arc is a typical sort of black ops story but the second arc will jump right into the middle of a completely different genre," In 2010, the series was relaunched once again as simply Wolverine. He followed this with his current run on Thor: God of Thunder.

Part Good/Bad
Avengers was not so planned clean but Wolverine is fine. Former needed more less-clumsiness which it had much however, the latter one is interesting and demands attention.
2.0 for Avengers.
And
3.0 for Wolverine.

Through time and space
A good Ironmsn narrated Avengers story, through both time and space. The story after War of the Realms starts here.
Great introduction to the Savage Avangers. Staring Wolverine, and Elektra and how they ended up with the Savage Avengers.

Well, this was confusing af. About 10 pages of Avengers (where Thor looks like a corpse), then we suddenly meet Wolverine and a guy who looks like an Egyptian pharaoh...
Still, it was free, so can't really complain :P

This issue had two Avengers stories in it, and like I said after reading last year’s FCBD issue, it can be hard for someone who is mostly a fan through the movies to connect with these stories that vary in author voice, illustration style and time period. The first story had some heroes that I don’t usually associate with the Avengers, such as Ghost Rider and Blade, so that was amusing at one level. The second story, The Savage Avengers, had a much grittier vibe and featured Wolverine.

This issue of FCBD 2019 Avengers/Savage Avengers brings us 2 stories
1) Avengers, the tie in to the Avengers movie "EndGame"
2) Savage Avengers, this one begins with Wolverine in search of an old friend and surprised me with 2 characters I hadn't seen in a while. I also loved the art work, done in a sepia type ink faded over color gives it a refreshing touch

Hate to admit it but this is my first Avengers/Marvel comics (due to having no clue where to start with them). That sais, I really enjoyed it! And thank God for pop culture which ensures I knew who everyone was it I would have been very confused!

Not bad for a short story

I've never actually read the Avengers before, so I thought I'd start with this freebie.
The Avengers portion focuses on Iron Man, being completely confused about what's happening. The shi'ar empire up to something and a glimpse of the Avengers, literally 1 panel. Still it was an interesting enough set up, so I might as well check out the trades.
The Savage Avengers bit was awesome, it doesn't give you an intro so I thought it was the same story. Was until a few pages I figured it out, it's about Wolverine hunting down a person who's killed his friend. It was a standard Wolverine story to be fair, with a little on the end to set up the team book but I really enjoyed it.

I am left both entirely confused and somewhat intrigued. There's like 3 sets of avengers? Mostly, I just care about Tony.
The Savage Avengers preview looks interesting, though. I might have to check out the trade.

Excellent !
This unbelievably imaginative fantasy adventure was definitely a amazing story, terrific art work through out the book. Marvel comics is the best of the comic book world!

Wow!!! @.@!!!
I wonder if Stan Lee read a comic this way. I’m almost fifty and spend my childhood in mountains of paper and dreams. Today, I’ve been hooked again with this “new” format. This feels like a watching a movie/reading a book. The story flows smoothly.

A snippet introduction to the; savage avengers: Stark got into place with no satellites and with big ice-age saber-tooths. Also a hint of wolverine and venom coming into play.

Great call back to the 1 million BC avengers from earlier in the current Avengers run. Excited to see this pan out after War of the Realms.

it's a very good comic book which is suitable for every fan of Marvel comics.

Just a trailer comic and not a whole story
Just a trailer comic and not a whole story, and even the trailer is not that interesting to follow up.

Good Stuff
Again, it was a good read. It was a very nice read. But it was still a good read. Basically just getting the reader set up to invest in the next bit of story.

2 disconnected Avengers stories that don’t really make you want to read on to the continued series.

the book is so absolutely fantastic.

Great read and even though they were short stories they were exciting and fun.

Iron Man is confused. And he seems to have amnesia. Even his wifi is down, and that works on the moon, so…
There are a lot of problems on Earth. Namor and his posse are upsetting things in the Gulf; Atlantis denizens are causing trouble as well.
“…deleted scenes from The Land Before Time” is a pretty epic insult.
So much in this overview; hard to keep track of everyone and everything.
In SA, Saviano helps displaced mutants. But when he turns up missing, Wolverine goes to investigate.
Wolverine does indeed pick up a scent at Saviano’s place—one that’s both distinctive and alarming.
Elektra and the Pharaoh dude are pretty cool.

I mean, the artwork can't really be faulted - it's pretty good.
But the story lines were pretty confusing for anyone (like me) who hasn't been reading these comics. And it didn't make me want to read more as it seemed like standard super-hero comic nonsense. So as an enticer for FCBD, it's a bit of a fail.
