Amazing Fantasy #1 is absolutely fantastic. The art is great. The story is entertaining and fun. It sets up a story that honors the pulp roots it comes from. This is a comic to pick up, relax, and just enjoy these summer months. Read Full Review

Amazing Fantasy #1 bends time and space for its unique tale, featuring beloved Marvel heroes encountering a world of sword and sorcery. This is one of the more unique Marvel debuts in history and I look forward to seeing where Andrew takes this tale. Read Full Review

Amazing Fantasy is the start of a fun series that is self-contained enough for brand new readers who love these characters to jump on board for. From an artistic standpoint, Andrews is doing interesting things visually while characterizing each hero well. Amazing Fantasy perfectly exudes old-fashioned charm. Read Full Review

Amazing Fantasy #1 gives us an engaging storyline by taking classic heroes out of their comfort zone. Great work here by Kaare Andrews. Read Full Review

Andrews has a great visual style that comes forth in this issue. There are great moments that harken back to both classic comics from the 60's and 70's to the beautiful pulp fantasy art of the 50's. The style is perfect for this story and I love the classic feel of it. Read Full Review

In some ways, the idea of this book may sound like a bit of a mutt; combining Captain America, Black Widow high on the "success" of her solo movies and the ever popular Spider-Man feels odd as I am not sure how, at least in this stage of the respective heroic career's of each how or even why the trio are connected. When you cast that idea aside however, you are left with a book that looks glorious and reads well for a jig sawed start to this mini-series. Read Full Review

I would recommend this one if you are a fan of any of the Avengers and want to see them in a new setting with more of a fantasy bent than you would normally. Read Full Review

Three different stories with distinct art styles and tones merge together into a cohesive whole that may entice returning fans of Marvel as well as those just joining in on the franchise. Read Full Review

As you can tell from my gushing above, I really enjoyed Amazing Fantasy #1. Above all, Andrews' love for each hero is incredibly apparent and even though the characters are pulled directly from notable eras of the comic vaults, this book is very accessible and easy to recommend to new and old readers alike.

Something that impressed me about Amazing Fantasy #1 is the diversity of visual styles displayed throughout by Andrews. Each story begins with their own stylized vignette that shows where they were before being whisked away to the island, and they all look distinct and unique from one another. Read Full Review

If you're looking for something associated with Marvel that is still unique compared to everything else available at the current moment, Amazing Fantasy could be just what you're looking for. Read Full Review

Amazing Fantasy #1 is an interesting -- but also frustrating -- start. It completes the job of shuffling a trio of "greatest hits" superheroes into a world of high fantasy, but the hows, whys, and "what's next"s remain unanswered. Sound writing makes the introduction tolerable, and beautifully diverse art provides the cherry on top that makes this issue worth reading. Read Full Review

The action is enjoyable and the artwork is suitably gritty, but there's nothing in this first issue that really qualifies as amazing or fantasy. Genre enthusiasts might enjoy the series once it is collected in a single volume, but there is little here to stir the souls of newcomers and inspire one to deliver a barbaric yawp. Read Full Review

That's one way to make a good first impression. We have characters who haven't quite become the versions people have grown to love. And before they had a chance to, they're thrown into a world where they're probably dead. Whether it's a fantasy world, the afterlife, or just a dream before it all ends, these heroes are going to have to grapple the decisions, responsibilities, and perspectives they have.

I wish I liked this more, because it seems like a passion project, but I just don't. The little character inconsistencies really stuck out to me. Cap isn't necessarily inconsistent, but a lot of his character in the World War II era is just not quite as interesting as it is post-WWII. Black Widow is supposed to be super old, so idk why she's a teen in the 80s here. And maybe I'm reaching but I don't think the ASM supporting cast lines up there in his segment. This isn't a badly drawn or written issue; I just find myself less enthused than I thought I was going to be.

Now this Cap I like, Cantwell, take notes, this is how you write Steve Rogers!

WW2 Cap, Silver Age Spidey, and teen Red Room Black Widow all get yoinked into a generic (but engaging!) fantasyland. The story has promise and succeeds in sinking some "what happens next?" hooks in me. The art is good, but I confess I like the origin segments (particularly Black Widow's) even more than the unified "fantasyland" style. And I'm a little worried by the focus; Cap gets twice as many pages as the other heroes and he is, in my opinion, the least interesting of them. Plus his initial scenes feature some atrocious writing.
