  This title is the current clear winner in the new Stan Lee books as far as I'm concerned. I can't wait until next month. Read Full Review

  Mark Waid has crafted some of the best superhero stories of the past 20 years (Kingdom Come and Tower of Babel are getting buried with me) and Stan Lee is evidently immortal. When dealing with legends like this it is best to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Whereas Waid's script boasts a brainy quality that elevates the super-hero genre elements, Chad Hardin's artwork is loud and ham-fisted in nature. He boasts an exaggerated, cartoony style that's inconsistent with the more intelligent, meticulous nature of the dialogue and premise. Hardin's work seems to boast a wide variety of influences, all across the board, from Cully Hamner to George Perez to even Rob Liefeld. It makes for some inconsistencies in the visuals. And the designs for the villains are terribly generic and say nothing about them. Read Full Review
