This book was a fun, rollicking adventure ride through the world of Marvel, formed from great art and a fun story. I can't wait to see what happens next! Read Full Review
Spanning the width of the Marvel Universe and delivering in both story and art, this issue was a wonderful surprise for me as a reader. Read Full Review
I still continue to like the format of The Marvels a lot, but this has been the first issue in the series where I've failed to see it being used in an interesting manner. Read Full Review
This is great. Kurt Busiek manages to tell a narrative that doesn't feel disjointed despite literally being disjointed. I know the sales for this one aren't great, but I hope Marvel keeps it around, for legacy at least.
Everyman Kevin Schumer is swept up into the world of A-list heroes as they save him from monsters and then fret over Siancong. This is busy, but well-structured. The art and dialogue are strong. Oh, but this plot! We've got a bog-standard "new villain menaces the Earth and a grab bag of headliner heroes team up to stop her" thing going. There are many potential twists offered to liven that plot up -- too many. They "Three Stooges" each other on their way into the comic. I trust Kurt Busiek to make sense of it all in the end, but on its own, this is a pretty confusing chapter.
