I thought the art was clean and solid-looking. Comic books really have come a long way since my childhood. The graphic quality of the book is outstanding and the rendering of the characters was true in spirit to their original iterations, yet they don't look dated. The only real issue I have is with the proportions of the heroes; for instance, the artist renders Cap, Thor and Sue Storm as all being relatively the same height, which is absurd, because Thor is 6'6" and Cap is 6'2", while Sue Storm is supposed to be approximately 5'8", if memory serves. The effect is one of 70s action figures where the same bodies were used for all the male characters, etc.
The plot was interesting in that it felt--for lack of a better word--authentic. What do I mean by that? Well, the characters are in plausible situations (as plausible as you can get with a narrative involving superheroes); I don't want to spoil anything, but the two main leaders are leading in an entirely different context and this plot actually explains some "boiler plate" issues that are raised with all superhero stories. By and large, the characters are in situations (and respond to them) in ways that make sense for their personality traits, etc.
One other minor quibble: sometimes the characters themselves are silly; again, I don't want to ruin anything, but there's one member who is irritating in what I would find to be an implausible way.
One thing: at least these aren't watered-down, weaker versions of the characters. They are powerful like superheroes should be.
