    Sequential Planet

    Savage Avengers #4 is one of the most fun comics to read, while still being one of the darker ones coming from Marvel. The story is good, but the characters and the art really make it shine.

    Chuck's Comic Of The Day

    Despite all the decibels, it just ends up as a big yawn. Hopefully future issues will include some story and characterization.

    There's a rushed nature to both the plotting and many of the pages found in Savage Avengers #4. Building to a climax with a new setting and this idosyncratic collection of characters resembles a suddenness only reflected by the literal teleportation. Character dynamics and the (re)appearance of several individuals are taken for granted, producing multiple moments of confusion and few stakes that aren't grafted from outstanding elements in other stories or series. The back half of the issue features more muddied inks and thicker lines that fail to illuminate any proceedings. A few panels and juxtapositions bring any momentum this adventure possesses to a halt as they fail to connect points A and B, or lack enough definition to provide either clarity or visceral thrills. It's a slapdash rush to the big finale, one that leaves no room for excitement or anticipation.
