Essential avengers

Stan Lee

Marvel Comics, 1998

See where it all began. Marvel's answer to the JLA
It has been said that this was Marvel's answer to the Justice League. It was much more than that. We got to see the new version of Captain America. The Sub-Mariner even comes back from his World War II roots. We get to see much more of the weakness and failures ...

Essential Avengers, Vol. 3 (Marvel Essentials)

Roy Thomas

Marvel Comics, 2001

The Artistic Peak of the Avengers
This is the stuff that Marvel legends are made of. This Avengers collection (covering issues # 47 to # 68 and Annual # 2 from 1967) is authored by Roy Thomas, John Buscema, Gene Colan (both at their peak) and Barry Windsor Smith (somewhat of a cross between Kirby; ...

Essential Avengers, Vol. 2 (Marvel Essentials)

Stan Lee

Marvel Comics, 2000

PERHAPS THE WORDIEST OF THE ESSENTIALS
The Essential Avengers, Volume 2 is an apt but not quite equal followup to the first volume. If fractions could be allowed, I would give Volume 2 three-and-a-half stars. There are some great issues in the mix, especially those where just as Hawkeye is trying to get ...

The Miskatonic Project: H.P. Lovecraft's The Whisperer in the Darkness

Mark Ellis

Transfuzion Publishing, 2008

Here's a chance to get some rare comics in a new edition
The Miskatonic Project is a (as it is called) Perfect Paperback from Transfuzion Publishing. This enterprising comics company is compiling old classic series in nicely bound and presented omnibus editions. They are not doing it cheaply, however, as this book lists ...

Essential Avengers, Vol. 1 (Marvel Essentials)

Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, ...

Marvel Comics, 2005

Assemble!
The Avengers have always been one of my favorite comics to read, through good creators and bad. I really enjoyed reading all the early adventures, especially after the original crew left and Captain America took charge. If Cap isn't in an Avengers comic, it's not ...

Essential Avengers, Vol. 4 (Marvel Essentials)

Roy Thomas

Marvel Comics, 2004

Gorgeous stuff...
I have to disagree with all of the previous reviewers - I find Roy Thomas' Avengers work to be consistently half-baked and trite; if you're looking for a good READ, go somewhere else, preferably the new stuff being put out today - Wanted, Ultimates, Promethea, or what ...

Essential Avengers, Vol. 5 (Marvel Essentials)

Roy Thomas, Harlan Ellison, ...

Marvel Comics, 2006

Essential Avengers, Vol. 5
What's not to like? Ton's of stories for almost nothing, The return of a founder(Hulk), Hawkeyes new uniform, Barry Smith, Neal Adams, Big John Buscema and more avengers than you can shake a stick at!! Buy this title already!!!

Essential Avengers, Vol. 6 (Marvel Essentials)

Steve Englehart, Roy Thomas, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

Avengers Assemble!
An excellent collection of The Avengers and their ongoing adventures! How could you not like the introduction of Thanos and the recruitment of Beast?!
