Summary: Perez really has come far since his early Avengers days...
Review: I'd purchased Avengers Visionaries: George Perez largely because it reprinted many of issues that came out when I was heavily into comic collecting years and years ago. I'd also recently purchased Avengers: Ultron Unlimited, and had gotten a bit of a taste for George Perez's outstanding artwork.This title reprints a number of classic old Avengers tales, featuring the Living Laser (and the Serpent Crown), Nuklo, Ultron, Dr. Spectrum, the Taskmaster, and a number of stories featuring the whole Ant-man/Yellowjacket/Hank Pym story arc. There's also a funny little vignette featuring Jarvis, the Avengers' butler. Upon re-reading these stories for the first time in years, two things struck me: first, the degree of continuity with the stories in this title and that featured in Avengers: Ultron Unlimited is amazing. The characters are roughly the same, and many of the events that are rehashed in Ultron Unlimited actually happen in Visionaries: Perez. It really is a tribute to Perez and Kurt Busiek that they're so good about continuity, even after all these years have passed. The second thing I noticed was that Perez's art in the early days was really a shadow of what he produces now. Yes, it's good, but it seems a bit one-dimensional compared to his more recent work in the Avengers and the Titans. With all of that in mind, it's nice to see where he started and how much he's progressed. In fact, you can even see how Perez starts to come into his own style in Visionaries: Perez. The title spans a four year time period from 1976 to 1980, starting with Avengers #161 and #162, Annuals #6 and #8, back to Avengers #194, #195 and #196, and finishing up with #201. Avengers Visionaries: George Perez is good, but it's even better if you have Avengers: Ultron Unlimited, so you can see the progress of the team, and also the artist.

Summary: George Perez At His Finest! Avengers Assemble!
Review: The best Avengers artist featured with some of the best and harder to find stories. The artwork looks fabulous on the higher quality paper. The detail and care that George Perez puts into his work is awesome and a lot of the younger artists can learn a lot about characterization from this book. Hopefully, Marvel will put out more books featuring George Perez's Avengers or Frank Miller's Daredevil. AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

Summary: Accent On The First E
Review: The greatest superhero comic in the world right now is George Perez and Kurt Busiek's Avengers, Volume 3. These two masters are providing more storytelling excellence and excitement in 22 pages a month than 100 issues of any other comic for sale right now. This book shows the development of the legendary skills of George Perez, on the title that made him famous to not one but two generations of comic readers. It reprints Volume One issues 161, 162, 194, 195, 196, a short Jarvis story from 201, and Annuals 6 and 8. The inking is inconsistent, with the best being Pablos Marcos's inking on 161 & 162 and Joe Rubenstein's inking on 194. The rest can be pretty rough, but you still get to see the development of one of the greatest comics storytellers of all time.

Review: When current Avengers scribe, Kurt Busiek, was reading comics these are the issues that he formed his Avengers ideas. The team that appears here is the team Busiek uses today. This was definitely George Perez's best work. Much better than today's work, which is at the top of industry. The tales were definately enjoyable and I recomend this book to any fan of the Avengers.
