4.0 out of 5 stars The plot and characters are well written., October 3, 1999

By A Customer

As a long time fan of Marvels Avengers, X-men and the Hulk I found the story line very interesting. It kept me in anticipation of the next page and then the next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why can't the Avengers have their own trilogy?, January 4, 2003

By	Doug62 (Arnold, MD United States) - See all my reviews

After all, the X-Men have several. This is a review of book#1 (the data base tends to mix them all together.) Greg Cox reminds me of Roy Thomas writing Marvel comics in the 60's and 70's. He can take the Marvel characters and advance them a step further while maintaining their original essence and actually improve on them. I never really liked the Hulk and Iron Man that much until I read this book. I also liked his approach to the relationship between the post-divorce Vision and Scarlet Witch. The climax battle at Niagra Falls is awesome; it is as vivid as an actual comic book while supplying details that could only be described in prose. It takes a good writer to do that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book.........I coudn't put this book down, September 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: X-Men: Search and Rescue (Gamma Quest Trilogy #2) (Paperback)

This book was very well written. I used to collect comic books years ago but I stopped because it seemed like the comic books were all art and no story. But thanks to greg cox's gamma quest trilogy all I had to worry about was plot and no art. I was so impressed with this story that I'm looking forward to the conclusion of this trilogy. Thanks Greg for showing us that it not just how good the art is but how excellent a story can be without colorful splash panels on every page of a comic book.
