Marvel's Voices: Identity #1 is a good anthology with some great introspection on each of the characters featured in the story. It also gives us insight into the comics industry and raises up AAPI creators and characters. Read Full Review
Marvel Voices: Identity #1 isn't perfect, but there are three stories contained within that deserve their spotlight and deserve their shine, and that's a win across the board. Read Full Review
Marvel's Voices: Identity #1is an unfortunately unfulfilling issue weighed down by its difficulty telling interesting stories while still being approachable for new readers. Some of the stories strike this balance better than others, but the worst offenders are hardly worth reading. Read Full Review
I really like the move toward fewer, longer strips and I hope this isn't the only Voices anthology to do it.
I was disappointed in the Ms. Marvel strip; that's way more passive than I like my Kamala.
The Mantis strip was terribly confusing, but I think it'll be significant for the six readers (besides Steve Englehart) who fully understand her backstory.
And the first and last strips were great. There's some real fire in the character friction between Jimmy Woo and Shang-Chi in the first one. And the last one is a light but rock-solid (and beautifully drawn) little Wong adventure.
