Avengers Classic #1

psychopanda's Avengers Classic #1 - The Coming of the Avengers; Some Assembly Required!; The REAL Origin of the Avengers! review

Classic Avengers, ain't it about time?!

I remember wondering not too long ago "How come they never made a Classic Avengers title?!". I like the Avengers a lot more than the X-men, so I've been pretty excited that this series actually came out. The restorations are nice, the Kirby art is fun, and the new Art Adams covers amaze me each time an issue comes out. It's been a nice way for me to stock up on Avengers reprints (without having to pay the Marvel Masterworks price!).

My only regret is that the backup stories have been pretty lackluster. It would've been cool to see some backup stories done by John Byrne, George Perez, Kieron Dwyer, or any of a hundred other Avengers artists.

I hope this series keeps going for awhile!

There's this story my grandma told me about her days as a youth. Finding comics, and just having a fun time. This is definitely where she was at that point and time. And I feel the same joy she still does when she sees a classic issue like this. I wholeheartedly think of my grandma when she got into comics. Its just so much energy, you can feel it wihin each page, panel, and character. It embraced an interesting time in our lives. With that said, Classic is a fun romp through the ages. I really ...
