Pick up the adventures of Earth's Mightiest Heroes from day one with the Marvel Masterworks! Comicdom's greatest assemblage of super heroes burst onto the scene in 1963 as Marvel Comics revolutionized the comic-adventure art form. Gathering together to face the evil Loki, Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Ant-Man, the Wasp, and the Mighty Thor formed the improbable core of the ever-changing super-team. But it was three issues later when, from the ice of the northern Atlantic, Captain America returned from the frozen depths that the Avengers truly took form. Illustrated by Jack Kirby and Don Heck, and written by Stan "The Man" Lee, you'll find the first appearances of Kang the Conqueror, Wonder Man, the Space Phantom and Baron Zemo, the debut of the Masters of Evil and the Hulk's departure from the team, and subsequent battle with the Sub-Mariner vs. the Avengers. They're Marvel Masterworks one and all! Collecting The Avengers #1-10.

The Avengers (Volume 1),
This review is from: The Avengers, Vol. 1 (Marvel Masterworks) (Paperback)
When I first bought this volume, I only got it because the store was out of Fantastic Four comics. So you can understand that making a transition from Spider-Man to Fantastic Four to "The Avengers" was a big leap. I saw the cover and I said to myself; "Aw, what the heck. I see Iron Man, Hulk, I think that's Thor, and who are those midgets flying around on ants?" It makes me laugh now because I came so close to putting this back on the shelf."The Avengers" are actually an insanely good comic. It definitley ended up in my hands most of the time not only because of the artwork (Jack Kirby) but because of the friendship, loyalty, and the true origins of the Avengers and Captain America. In these pages lurk mystery, action, surprise, wise-crack jokes, and endings to issues that tie up in the next one. In other words, it keeps you reading until the end. However, I would advise you not to get too sucked into this current team of Ant-Man, Giant-Man, the Wasp, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, and Captain America. In the second volume, the entire team changes with some leaving, some staying, and new recruits joining. Overall, "The Avengers" have hit-home in this amazing volume. If you have the money and the time to read it, I strongly suggest purchasing this one.

Marvel Masterworks: Avengers 1-10,

This review is from: The Avengers, Vol. 1 (Marvel Masterworks) (Paperback)
I would recommend this comic to any Marvel Masterworks fan. It's fun to learn how the Avengers got together, and see their original roster in action. You also find out how the Avengers got their name. The book has an interesting and not-at-all boring introduction by Stan Lee (writer of Avengers, X-men, Spider-man and many other 60's titles you can get from Marvel Masterworks). At the end of the book there's some bonus material including a pin-up and biographies of Stan Lee, Jack Kerby (penciler of Avengers 1-8), and Don Heck (penciler of 9-10.) If you're an Avengers fan and want to see how they started, I must warn you: this comic is different from modern comics. For one, it's a little simpler and slower paced. Also, the characters might be a little different from how you know them. Over all, I enjoyed this comic and plan on getting the second one.

Avengers Assemble,

This review is from: The Avengers, Vol. 1 (Marvel Masterworks) (Paperback)
Once again Marvel Masterworks series proves that the old marvel comics are still good. A little dated and cheesy in some aspects, but they're still compelling stories. It could be argued that the Avengers have been the focal point for everything big in the Marvel universe since they first assembled (collected in this 10 issue volume). This first volume does not disappoint. A must have for any fan of the Marvel Universe.
