Morrison is known for his collaborative style often doing scripts, sending them to the artist then tweaking the dialogue once he sees the artist's pencils and this comic is clearly benefiting from that. This is a fast paced, humorous tale that combines the spy genre with that Wodehouse-ian sensibilities and the delivery is beautiful. If you aren't reading this, then why not? Read Full Review
It is a tough task translating one form of media from another, but Waid and Monroe have been doing a fantastic job so far. It is little weird having to read a story or the course of several months versus running through an episode in about an hour; however, this is an advantage to the writers because they can slow things down and thoroughly put out better stories. I would recommend watching a couple of episodes for those not familiar to the series since there are many homages to the show that wouldn't be understood. But, if you are a fan of The Avengers or just looking for something different to read, I highly suggest that you give this book a shot. I give it an 8/10. Read Full Review
