Marvel Unleashed #1is one of many reoccurring attempts at bringing back the animal-driven narrative trope made popular eons ago, and may just be one of the best. With incredibly comedic writing and a great showing of comic book technique in both the writing and art, this debut issue is a great debut for both young and new readers alike. Read Full Review

Review at (1:40) in video!
Pro tip: Imagine the voice of Doug from Up when you're reading D-Dog's lines.
It's a silly premise, but the creators get straight to work infusing it with heart. Their storytelling work is imperfect, but their passion is undeniable.
This is a slow-moving "building the team" story. It's elevated by two big assets: a remarkable amount of empathic characterization that makes each animal distinct, and a pretty intriguing villain scheme they're going to have to foil.
The art is messy and heavy, but it delivers smooth narrative flow and does a formidable job expressing the animals' feelings ("Messy and heavy" isn't necessarily bad, anyway). Drawing an abashed dog or a smug falcon are not everyday tasks for a comic more
