The A-Force, an all female Avengers team in Warzone Arcadia , is on the case when monsters start invading the city. This was a terrific adventure, filled with fantastic characters. I wish America had been in more, but storywise, that's my only complaint. I wasn't crazy about the art generally--seemed largely exploitative, which is extra gross in story for women. The one exception is Singularity, who was impeccably colored. I loved the relationships, and the five issue arc was perfectly paced. I
I was a little confused because I didn't read secret wars but I was still able to follow along enough to enjoy the story and the characters.
A sweet story, with a touch of emotion and loss that doesn't normally show up in the "bro" comics.Oh is that so? Marguerite Bennett does poetry in her comic scripts? This oughtta be an interesting ride...While some complain that there are too many women in this comic to do each of them justice, that's a weird criticism to lay on such a book: too *many* women. Yes not all of them get an arc or even a personality; neither do the guy-heavy a Avengers or X-Men when a big-team book gets together.But
I love the all female avengers! But it was a bit too fast-paced aaand I missed a more thorough introduction of the characters. Im not an expert in marvelverse. But it was very cool with all the girlpower!
You know, I see a lot of people sometimes including myself complain about the current state of Marvel comics. Ya want to know why that is? It’s because they publish s*** like this.What’s it about?The land of... f***, I already forgot the name of the place, is protected by the mostly female superhero team A-Force. During a mission America Chavez does something stupid that causes her to be arrested by a group of Thors (shaking your head yet?). As some girl (I think her name may have been Nico or s...
I don’t have a problem with female-centric books, but this is at first, predictable and second, just another half-hearted attempt to pigeonhole the lady super heroes into one big team on one big title (see The Fearless Defenders) – it’s not an organic smushing of characters, the focus is spread thin, and aside from a few characters, most are left on the fringes of the story.She-Hulk is the baroness of an idyllic island, but there’s trouble in paradise and a traitor (view spoiler)[ If I told you
The Battleworld island of Arcadia is defended by A-Force. A-Force is a team of warrior women led by She Hulk.Recently problems have been occurring outside the normal and A-Force must discover the cause before their home and team are destroyed.A-Force is an interesting bunch because they take most of the toughest Marvel women and put them on a team together. In this Battleworld it appeared they lived in an Amazonian sort of way where the women lead and the men are the lesser citizens even though
This story has some touching emotional moments. Especially the relationship between Nico and Singularity was fun to read. The only problem I had with the story is that the climax wrapped up too quickly, and there didn't seem to be any real danger at the end.
Surprisingly quite good for one of these Secret Wars crossovers. Jorge Molina's art is pretty snappy. Very reminiscent of Jim Cheung. Stars pretty much every female character in the Marvel universe. The story is irrelevant, but the interactions between the characters is great.Received an advance copy from NetGalley.
A little bit of...With a little...And then some...Surprisingly not terrible.
A-Force was one of the more interesting tie-ins to the recent Secret Wars event.A-Force introduces an all-female Avengers squad (a team that will continue in the rejiggered post-Secret Wars Marvel Universe). On Battleworld, She-Hulk is the baroness and chief protector of Arcadia, a peaceful island nation. She also leads A-Force, charged with protecting the prosperous community. Key allies include Captain Marvel, Medusa, Dazzler, the female Loki, Nico Minoru and Ms. America.An attack by an odd se...
Wow! This was BALLER (my word for 2016, apparently). My favorite character gets banished at the very beginning, so boo on that, but this whole thing was great. WHO RUN THE WORLD? STRONG WOMEN WITH SUPERPOWERS WHO GET SHIT DONE. And now I have a ton of characters I love and want to read more about, so hooray for that! So much reading to do. FEMALES ARE STRONG AS HELL (but America, bb, why did you have to throw that goddamn shark)
The only real problem I had with this book is that there are far too many characters. Yes, it's technically a team book, but in actual, ongoing team books, that should even out as characters who star in one story become supporting characters in the next. In a limited miniseries like this, you end up with a handful of characters who are allowed to make an impact while the vast majority are little more than decoration. I'd say that there's at least half a dozen characters who don't get more than a...
Oh girl, I’m starting to think G. Willow Wilson’s only quality work is on Ms Marvel - first that Vixen crap at DC, now “A-Force”, a ‘90s-sounding lame superhero team? Though I suppose she only co-wrote this so some of the blame goes to Marguerite Bennett.Welcome to feminist paradise Arcadia on Battleworld, policed by A-Force, an all-female superhero team led by She-Hulk. They do it right, not like dumb men! Then a series of disasters happen and She-Hulk’s leadership is challenged. Stuff is going...
very dry, uneventful, and written like the author didn’t even know what was going on. i’ve heard such amazing things of this book and i’m so disappointed. i hope the next series is better ....... i mean i didn’t think a book of just heroines could be like....... this. but it reads fast which is good. i read this start to finish in less than 45 minutes. medusa was the best part.
I have no idea what the background of this series is - Weird alternate universe, I'm guessing? Alternate timeline, like House of M? - anyway, that doesn't matter. This book's good, clean, shark-punching fun. It's great to see so many Marvel-ous (get it?) ladies kicking butt. Looking forward to more.
4.5 stars | OH MY GAWD. How didn't i read this sooner? A-Force is an all-woman superhero team protecting Arcadia and it's amazing.
ZOMG. NEED IT LIKE AIR.
FREAKING HECK YASSS!!!!This prequel bind-up was PERFECTION! Such a great kick off to a series! I seriously cannot believe I left the A-Force just chilling on my shelf for so long - THIS WAS SOOOOOO GOOD!Whether you love Marvel comics or not, if you love kick-ass ladies and female friendships THIS IS FOR YOU SO READ IT!!
I haven't read Secret Wars yet so I didn't really understand the Battle World stuff, but honestly I don't think you need to read Secret Wars before going into this.There are so many amazing characters in this including some of my favourites like Nico and America! I just loved that this was an all women avengers team, SO GREAT.Overall this is a super fast, entertaining read and i really enjoyed it!!
