X-Man's Comic Blog: "Honestly, I'm kind of interested in all of the comics mentioned here, even the one I was sure I wouldn't want(FF)!  Nothing mind blowing here, this wasn't a necessary read in any way, it was an okay comic about a few upcoming comics.  If you're curious about Nova, Guardians of the Galaxy, Secret Avengers, Young Avengers, Cable and X-Force or FF, this may be worth a pick up.  Nothing more to say here." 75 -- Click here for full review!

Crave Online: "Overall, it functions as pretty much an issue of Previews rather than anything that really needed to exist. New people jumping onto this might be just as confused as ever with all the random jumps to various other characters. It's really nothing more than a meh as a whole, with some bits of intriguing work popping up here and there. I will be checking into all of these books, but this issue is mostly shrug-worthy." 70 -- Click here for full review!

IGN: "The other stories featuring Nova, Star-Lord, and Forge do set up the tone of their respective series’, but fail to make an impression like the others. Despite that, you have to give Marvel credit for not smashing together a bunch of A-list Avenger and X-Men titles into this preview issue. Instead, they gave the spotlight to several titles that -- while they may involve Avengers and X-Men -- would otherwise arrive under the radar." 70 -- Click here for full review!

Weekly Comic Book Review: "The work on display from the likes of Gillen, Fraction, the Allreds et al is more than enough to prove that Marvel still have the chops to keep entertaining and surprising us, but the awkward steps taken to reconcile their Graphic and Cinematic properties really hamper this book’s progress. There’s still a fair amount of bang for your six bucks here, but, as with any anthology title, there’s a noticeable amount of stuff that should have remained on the cutting room floor." 65 -- Click here for full review!

CBR: "Some of those pieces bring lots of promise; others need a bit more oomph. This much is true though; there are some fun ideas and stories coming up in this Marvel NOW! initiative." 60 -- Click here for full review!

Inside Pulse: "This book would have been a six and a half if it was two bucks cheaper. I’m bitter for the overspend that I got suckered into, just like last time." 50 -- Click here for full review!
