Avengers, Volume 1: The Final Host Review (Jason Aaron, David Marquez)

A million years ago primitive versions of the modern day Avengers fought Celestials. Now, the Avengers have to fight more Celestials again. Oh and Loki’s up to something. In an Avengers story? No! Yes, it really is that imaginative - hacks assemble!

Avengers books are almost always dismal and unfortunately Jason Aaron’s take on the series is no different. I love Jason Aaron but this is the worst book of his I’ve ever read - The Final Host is so utterly pathetic it makes me wonder how the same guy who wrote Scalped managed to write this. It couldn’t be any worse.

All that happens is that the Avengers go giant size and punch Celestials - it’s like seeing a kid playing with toys smashing them into one another. It’s so childish and silly. And what’s amazing is how much tedious overwriting Aaron is able to cram into this book considering how little is happening - it’s just dumb fighting.

Avengers, Volume 1: The Final Host is skull-numbingly boring - nothing worth seeing here!
