Book Reviews of Avengers: The Initiative, Vol. 1: Basic Training (v. 1)
Book Review: The Best of the Current Avengers Books
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't expect much from this spin-off, but it really is one of the better books to come out of "Civil War." While the main Avengers books ("Mighty" and "New") have been somewhat disappointing (is Bendis being stretched too thin?), Dan Slott's "Initiative" is everything that you could look for in a comic book. Action, drama, and--most noticeably--a little humor to temper the seriousness. Having said that, this is a book about training young super-heroes to go to war, so it's not all fun and games: There are casualties.
