A review by thebeardedpoet
The Avengers, Vol. 1 by Brian Michael Bendis

4.0

Not nearly the level of angst of the Civil War era. The characters here are heroic, happy go lucky, and work well together as a team. The bad guys don't get much badder than here: Kang and Ultron and so on. The time travel story was quite good and not so complicated to make your head hurt. I'm curious about seeing the seeds planted here growing in future issues. All in all a good read. On the art, I'm not a big fan of JR Jr. His figures always seem stiff to me and the shading and cross hatching seems more like a sketch than finished art.
