Innovative Key Issue 0
Back in the early 60s, Marvel had a great cast of characters that it wanted to bring together in a supergroup to compete against teams like the justice league. Avengers #1 does exactly that by bringing Thor, Iron Man, Ant Man, Wasp and the Hulk together to fight the menace of Loki, god of mischief. I really like the way these characters interact with each other but they seem a little immature and vain at first glance. In reading this issue you would think that these characters are way too differ...

Earth's Mightiest Heroes 0
The legendary first Avengers issue, from Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, featuring the quasi-accidental formation of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Released all the way back in 1963, how does it read today? Well, it's fun stuff. Some of it is goofy fun, but it's still fun. Any Marvel fan knows the plot already: the evil Loki manipulates the Hulk to get revenge on his brother Thor, causing a chain of events that forces Ironman, Ant-man, The Wasp and the aforementioned Thor to join forces against the God of ...

There Came A Day... 0
By The Angry Comic Book Critic The Silver Age Classics role on with the first tale of Marvel's premier super-team of the Earth Mightiest Heroes I'm talking about of course The Avenger's and with a live action film coming in 2012 I thought why not review the ultimate team's first adventure together against the god of mischief himself the shame of Odin the one the only Loki...or as Thor would say "Ye Old douche bag of the year " so lets give the douche bag of the year a round of applause.......

Avengers Being Assembled 0
With this comic, superhero teams were redefined. A mix of personality types and characters with both strengths and weaknesses were put together from the growing Marvel stable by the titanic team of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. An issue this important almost defies criticism, but I'm going to try to tackle it anyway. While it's great to see all these heroes on the same stage, one has to remember that both in terms of powers, and in terms of personality / characterization, these were all fairly new ...

The Coming of the Avengers 0
You know I thought that maybe Stan and company might have gotten their supergroup fix when they introduced The X-Men earlier this month to mimic the success of The Fantastic Four, but apparently not it would seem. So they'd been teasing us with it for months, testing ideas out and trying a mixture of characters together, but it's here with the arrival of The Avengers that Marvel truly goes all-out with their interconnected universe. Featuring a whole handful of characters so far inducted into th...

It All Began Here 0
The Avengers are as an iconic team as one could get in this day and age. They are the keystone upon which the grand Marvel Cinematic Universe is constructed, a franchise of films which as of my writing this is the most successful cinematic franchise of all time (I doubt very much of that changing) with a total gross of 8.5 BILLION dollars! And it all began here. And it’s something of a disappointment when compared to similar works of the time.The villain of our piece is Loki and if you are...
