    MARVELS SNAPSHOTS AVENGERS #1 works as a light-hearted romantic comedy in the unlikeliest of settings. The story is chock full of witty banter and the art is fairly solid. This is a recommended buy. Read Full Review

Unfortunately, done badly it is a cloying parody of the stories and characters it celebrates. Read Full Review
