Review: Avengers Assemble #10 - Go Team Avengers!

Avengers Assemble #10 Review


Avengers Assemble #10 Cover
Did you know that there’s a theory that the bacteria in our bodies actually controls our moods and may even be responsible for elements of our personalities? TONY STARK and BRUCE BANNER did.

What happens when a 20 million-year-old evolutionary catalyst infects a HULK? Could it be a cure?

Meanwhile, on the outside, CAPTAINS MARVEL AND AMERICA must find the missing scientist before he unleashes said bacteria on the world.

Cover/Solicit - 3/5

- Would I pick-up the comic based on the solicit/cover alone? Are the alternate covers appealing? Does the solicit/cover portray what happens in the issue?

Art/Colors/Ink - 5/5

- Weighted Double
- Do I personally like this artist's style? Does the artist stay true to the characters appearance? Does the coloring/inking blend well with the artist? Is the coloring/inking enjoyable and easy to distinguish what's happening?

Layout/Flow - 4/5

- Does the layout of the issue make it easy to read? Does the issue have a good flow of the plot and keep me engaged? Can I easily read the issue, to include lettering?

Story - 4/5

- Weighted Triple
- How well did the issue further develop the current story? How well did the issue further develop the characters? Did I enjoy reading the issue?

Verdict - 4.1

Avengers Assemble #10 Variant Cover
- While I appreciate the art on the cover, I'm not really a fan of the posed images, it's like when you have to take a picture of somebody doing something and they fake/pose for the situation. Again like Avengers Assemble #9 - Science Bros! I really liked the art style of this issue, well except Spider-Woman's "boots with the fur". What I'm most surprised about is how much I liked this issue over the last. As the first part of the story seemed to make me believe the story arc was going to be boring race to see which team was better and who was smarter Stark or Banner. We find the two teams in the Antarctica where they come across a research station that has been infected by a prehistoric parasite. Unfortunately for them Banner becomes infected by drinking the water. This issue starts to really pick up pace of the story and we also get to see the remaining Avengers, Captain America and Captain Marvel join in the action. Now I can't wait for the next issue.
