Not gonna lie, I like the fact we have a new Crypt Keeper like narrator for the new generation. I used to love those horror comics with the gimicky narrator (remember Creepy comics with Uncle Creepy?). Glad to see Marvel continuing the tradition! Read Full Review

A great anthology title that shows off renowned creators having a blast on the superheroes they know and love. Read Full Review

This is a nice collection that looks great and brings you back to the wonderment and heroics of the Golden Age of comics. Alex Ross reminds us once again he's a master at mood and atmosphere, and for his art alone this book is worth picking up. This creative impulse will lead you to joy. Read Full Review

Whether you've been a Marvel fan for years or just started reading recently, this one is worth a look. Read Full Review

Like any framed narrative, Ross and Darnell offer readers a little taste of what’s to come with the small reveal from Nightmare as to the catalyst for his increased control over the world of dreams. Ultimately, however, this isn’t what will bring readers back – though some might argue the promise of more Alex Ross is sufficient. Instead, Marvel offers readers an opportunity to enjoy some “no strings attached” stories about the heroes they love, and given the strength of this first issue, it is likely the follow up will be well-worth reading, too.

Although I prefer one of the stories and art styles far more than the other, I overall had an enjoyable experience. I appreciate the scope and expanse of how Nightmare may be interwoven throughout this whole series. Any Alex Ross art is always a plus too, even if the cover doesn't have anything to do with this current series. Read Full Review

This issue is a splendid homage to the silver age of comics that I grew up with. Theses stories are simply told about a time that was much simpler then today, at least it was for me, the only thing I had to worry about was where to get the $1.25 that I needed per month to collect the five comics I collected on a regular basis! After these two tales are wrapped up nice and neat the Nightmare has his own comeuppance…to be continued *** (8.2 rating) Read Full Review

Marvel's Marvel #1 from Marvels creators Ross and Busiek isn't quite the marvel it was hyped up to be. Read Full Review

In the frame story, Nightmare has conquered the world, and the anthology strips are presented as peeks into the dreams he owns now. The frame is outdoing the content so far. The Avengers strip is a maybe-too-successful recreation of Lee/Kirby Avengers, and the Spidey strip, though arty, is just too roughly-finished to satisfy. This series kicks off squarely in the "catch up on MU, don't spend money on it" zone.

The Spider-Man story was off-putting and odd. It had good and bad aspects to it. The Avengers story felt like it was straight out of Stan Lee/Jack Kirby's run. If you're into that, you'll enjoy it. Overall, this wasn't an amazing start to this miniseries.

Some parts were better than others. I enjoyed it though overall and we will see how other stories are told as the series continues.

Hulk-vengers Lol. I don't know what to think about it.

Well, the art in the bookends and the Spider-Man part were nice.
