Marvel Masterworks: The Avengers - Volume 2

It has been said that this was Marvel's answer to the Justice League. It was much more than that. We got to see the new version of Captain America. The Sub-Mariner even comes back from his World War II roots. We get to see much more of the weakness and failures of the most powerful super team of the 60's and 70's. To me it was like the Fantastic Four with more super powered problems. We get to see the personal glimses of their lives when they were not super beings. Cap had to deal with what it was like to be out of touch with the world while he was frozen. Iron Man had a bad heart because of the shrapnel he got back in the war. While I don't like the black and white format it is the most affordable format. Until Marvel releases the first 500 issues on CD ROM like they will with Spider-Man this is the most economical way to see them.

What a beautiful package. I must say, this reprinting of Avengers 1-10 is absolutely gorgeous. I was hesitant to buy masterworks hardcovers, because I had heard terms like "Garrish Colors" and "Poor Reproduction", and let me say, nothing could be farther from the truth. This a beautiful representation of classic Marvel. I originally had a softcover version reprinting 1-5 and the reproduction job on these are far, far superior. If you are a fan of vintage marvel as I am, you will be more than pleased with your purchase of this hardcover, if however you live in your mothers basement with a 1 week beard reeking of B.O. and you love nitpicking, then don't buy this!

This book is one of the great Avengers books. From the return/first silver age appearance of Captain America to the adventures of the Kooky Quartet, from the first battles with Kang and Immortus, and Wonder Man this is a must have for any Avengers, or comic book fan.

From start to finish this is the ultimate Avengers package. Some of the greatest Avengers stories ever told. Form the return of Captain America to the joining of Hawkeye and the Scarlet Witch. These are where the Avengers started. Kurt Busiek today's writer of the Avengers wishes he could recreate the magic that Stan Lee created in this book. A must have for any true Avengers fan.
