Rating: - Avengers.....hard to recommend....
I can't give this book lower than two stars because of the affordable price and historic significance of these issues. That being said, I can't honestly say I enjoyed much of anything about this collection. The characterization seems off on just about every hero through the entire book. I think Stan Lee was on auto pilot on this team book and more effort was going into the solo titles running at the same time. The best story is probably the last, a battle with Kang in the far future. I recommend ... Read More
Rating: - Black & white reprints of classic four-color comics...?
I honestly don't get the appeal of these books. Why bother making (or reading) black & white reprints of classic four-color comics...? I mean, yeah, the stories are still great and the original comics are hard to find, but a huge part of what made these comics great was the eye-popping artwork, including the bright primary colors: reading them in dull B&W is just plain wrong. Sure, the printing costs are lower, so you can get more pages for your money, but it's more pages of boring, not more pages ... Read More

The Avengers have always been one of my favorite comics to read, through good creators and bad. I really enjoyed reading all the early adventures, especially after the original crew left and Captain America took charge. If Cap isn't in an Avengers comic, it's not really the Avengers! This is a series that just gets better and better in its early years.

Rating: - Great Book...
Great book. Great Price. But I would pay more if you printed them on color newsprint. I like the cheapness of black and white but I can't afford the color Masterworks. Please print these on color newsprint in the future. I'm sure you'd sell way more printing them in color. People love these comics and want to share them with their kids. Pick up this book if you have any interest in classic comics. The art and writing is fantastic... but can't you print them in color... it can be color newsprint... I'd pay more ... Read More
