Avengers Assemble, Vol. 1 6 reviews Kurt Busiek, George Perez
Marvel Comics, 2004
AVENGERS STILL MY FAVORITE TEAM
+ A stellar re-start to a venerable franchise.
The Avengers have always been my favorite Superhero team going back to the early 1970's. They've had consistently good stories without the never ending sub-plots and sub-sub-plots of the various X-men titles. This hardcover graphic novel collects the first 12 issues of the Avengers Volume 3, the ...

Jinx: The Definitive Collection 10 reviews Brian Michael Bendis
Image Comics, 2001
One of the Greatest Black and White Comics Ever Published
+ Charming (if dated) early work from Bendis
There is a scene in JINX (and this gives nothing away) in which writer/artist Brian Michael Bendis deviates from the plot to show us people in an arcade talking. These aren't central characters - a few of them are walk-ons to The Story, and some of them are extras who are hardly seen again. Very ...

Avengers World Trust is a collection of Geoff Johns first six issues on his too brief run on the monthly title. Johns has worked miracles over at DC with his great run on Flash and his resurgence of classic characters and plots on JSA. Sadly, the most he brings to World Trust is a standard ...
