5.0 out of 5 stars
Busiek knows Avengers.,
By Arlo C (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Avengers Assemble, Vol. 3 (Hardcover)
The Busiek/Perez combo for me is the quintessential Avengers creative team and in this collection they prove their prowess yet again.
Following the Ultron Unlimited story arc that features in Avengers Assemble 2 this volume sees a huge clash over the skies of New York guest staring many big marvel names a very interesting line-up change, Silver Claw leading the team back to her South American homeland and a very well executed crossover with the Thunderbolts featuring Count Nefaria. If you're a new fan of the current marvel product you owe it to yourself to pick up these beautiful volumes and get a look at some of the Avengers recent history. In fact, the Busiek/Perez run is the ideal starting spot as Busiek has a thorough knowledge of Avengers history and manages to fit in a great deal of it while telling these new tales. Volume 3 continues the great presentation of the series and contains what I'd probably call the most consistently good issues of the first three volumes. Five stars.

This review is from: Avengers Assemble, Vol. 3 (Hardcover)
Being rather new to the Avengers had this volume of Avengers Assemble leaving me scratching my head. This volume is definitely for folks who know the Avengers and have known the Avengers for years and years and years. Overall the story wasn't bad, but having just read Avengers Assemble volume 2 and the Ultron story within, this volume is just a quagmire of history.
Perhaps I would feel different if I knew the old characters and understood their significance. But, considering I have enjoyed both the first and second volumes of Avengers Assemble, knowing as little as I do about them, my only guess is that this volume relies more on the readers knowledge of the past. I constantly felt like the scenes I was witnessing should be more dramatic, should have more significance if I just understood the complex relationship of these villains to the characters. I know Perez/Busiek is a great team, but Perez actually leaves the series during this volume, which is somewhat of a sad turn for the series. It has some highlights, some "evidently" dramatic turns, but overall, not nearly as good as the previous volume. If you are a long time fan, this book is for you. If you are a newbie, or just want to collect the best, then avoid this volume.
