The Final Architect: The End of Jason Aaron’s Avengers and a Marvel Era

May 20, 2023 by Chad Nevett 1 Comment

Avengers Assemble, the 10-part finale of Jason Aaron’s 80-issue-plus Avengers run that began in 2018 finally came to an end in April. More than the end of his run, it was the culmination of a longterm build that began early on his run and, then, specifically in Avengers #50 (or, if you’re inclined to count it, Free Comic Book Day 2021: Avengers/Hulk). The focus of Avengers and the launch of a spinoff Avengers Forever directly led to this finale with multiversal Avengers, traveling through time to thwart Mephisto’s schemes, and, generally, feeling like the book was on a treadmill until the real story could actually begin. Which is why, when Avengers Assemble finally began, it felt so underwhelming. Over a year and 23 issues (not to mention the pre-issue 50 issues that set up various elements of the story through subplots in Avengers) the payoff is a meandering, inconsistently paced story featuring bad guys that won’t stay defeated despite looking quite dead for… ‘reasons’ until Deus Ex Machina and good guys win! At least, that was my first impression. [Read more…] about The Final Architect: The End of Jason Aaron’s Avengers and a Marvel Era

May 9, 2023 by Comic Book Herald Staff Leave a Comment

Jesse Lonergan joins to talk about the upcoming Mignola-verse comic Miss Truesdale and the Fall of Hyperborea, as well as their sci-fi graphic novel Arca. Dave and Jesse talk about the success of Hedra’s innovative layouts, working with Mike Mignola, designing pages to slow down readers, how Droma/Prime might be Jesse’s “magnum opus” and much more!

On Comic Book Herald’s Interviews I’ll be interviewing some of my favorite creators in comics about specific runs, graphic novels or series, looking for their insights on the inspirations behind the work and ideas or hidden material readers may have missed. CBH Interviews is an audio annotative guide to enjoying the intricacies and thinking in the art. Thanks for listening, and enjoy the comics!
