    I'd like to say Origin serves a purpose for novice comic book fans, but the monthly Avengers titles are relaunched so often that readers can get situated easily. I think the book could have been fun as a 48 page one-shot with Casey channeling his inner Grant Morrison. But as it stands now, its a slow retread of a story which has been recently retold in bolder and better ways. Read Full Review
