If you haven't read the first issue or the Marvel Point One comic, Contest of Champions does a fine job catching you up on what you need to know. We see the team behind this book have a lot of fun making it for both new and older readers. We even get to see who they picked to be the challenging team that fights the main characters which creates anticipation for the following issue. Read Full Review
The whole book from a setup standpoint is kind of nonsense. There is a place for just mixing up a hodge-podge of characters that would not normally be seen together to answer those questions of "who would win in a fight between"". But those stories generally appeal to a much younger reader. If that is what you are looking for, this is worth a read. For readers looking for meatier plots and more intricate story (and art), you might want to skip this one. It does not do anything wrong, per se, it just does not stand out in a sea of books when the market for eyeball time is so competitive. Read Full Review
