![]() Rating: - B/W reprints of Avengers #120-140 and Giant Size #1-4This volume collects issues #120-140 of Marvel Comics' monthly Avengers series and the quarterly Giant Size Avengers #1-4. It also includes Captain Marvel #33 (which follows #125) and Fantastic Four #150 (that fits between #127 and #128). The original comic books were all originally published between March 1974 and October 1975. Steve Englehart is the writer for all Avengers issues besides #138 and GS #1. These same issues feature six different pencilers, with Bob Brown (#120-123, 126), Sal Buscema ...

The character development of the Swordsman in this one is pretty cool, and there ... Read More Rating: - Does Anybody Remember Mantis?The Avengers have seen their share of ups and downs as a comic.

By the last collection of Essential Avengers (# 5), the swinging sixties by Stan and gang were over, and a new cohort of writers took over. Steve Englehart mans this period of the Avengers with pretty good plotting, but the same problem that plagued the previous collection remains: ...

Rating: - a Vision discoveredhow's that for a pretentious title? this and vol. 5 of the Avengers have contained most of my favorite stories so far. in this one, we finally get to the origin of the Vision, my favorite Avenger. we learn how and from when he came (i won't ruin it for you if you don't know, but i'd be surprised if anyone reading this doesn't) and his purpose in life. we also get a double wedding ceremony, magic, racism and all sorts of guest stars. the reprinting in this is OK. it was designed as a color book, ...
