3.0 out of 5 stars So-So Avengers Adventure, February 20, 2008

By	Robert Casaletta "Scelestus" (Akron, OH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having read some of the original issues when this series first came out in the early 90s, I decided to pick up the assembled stories in the 2 Galactic Storm volumes... and now I wish I hadn't. Frankly, they're exactly what you'd expect from a 90s Marvel crossover- there's a loud of loud noise, mindless action and disjointed plot threads. I'm as big a fan of action and loud noise as the next comic book fan, but this just didn't work for me. Thor's nagging self-doubts have been done better elsewhere with more interesting characters, and the artwork was a little below average.

The reason I gave this a 3 star rating was for the finale, which actually painted a pretty intriguing moral dilemma. That alone made the book something above a complete waste, but come on. When they published this sucker they put some pages out of order- it's pretty obvious they didn't care all that much about the book itself.

This graphic novel contains the conclusion to the Galactic Storm series, which was originally published by Marvel in the Annual issues of their various on-going series (Capt America, Avengers, Thor, etc...). As a rule of thumb story lines that involve Annual issues from multiple comic series are wretched.

This one is no exception. The story telling is choppy, because each Annual covers one hero (or set of heroes). The art is middling to bad, again because its an Annual; Marvel and DC feel its ok to let quality slip. Marvel even managed to get two of the issues in this book out of order.

Go ahead, buy it. I dare you.
