Marvel Masterworks: Avengers, Vol. 1

Rating:
Summary: Impossible to Enjoy
Review: We can only hope that the impending hardcover editions in the "Essential" series will be full size and in color. If you are considering purchasing any of these titles I would wait, because the mini black and white format makes these impossible to enjoy. The art, in the case of Jack Kirby's work in particular, is crowded and busy without the color to seperate the lines. To see this sort of thing done right, check out "Superman in the Sixties"; 19 stories, soft cover, full size, color and affordable.It's too bad Marvel didn't do it right, as their product from the sixties is far superior to D.C.'s.

Summary: Avengers Assemble!
Review: What a beautiful package. I must say, this reprinting of Avengers 1-10 is absolutely gorgeous. I was hesitant to buy masterworks hardcovers, because I had heard terms like "Garrish Colors" and "Poor Reproduction", and let me say, nothing could be farther from the truth. This a beautiful representation of classic Marvel. I originally had a softcover version reprinting 1-5 and the reproduction job on these are far, far superior. If you are a fan of vintage marvel as I am, you will be more than pleased with your purchase of this hardcover, if however you live in your mothers basement with a 1 week beard reeking of B.O. and you love nitpicking, then don't buy this!
