 Rating: - The Original Avengers . . . In Color!!!Yes, for anyone who has been looking between Essentials and Marvel Masterworks, and can't see why the Masterworks series is so much shorter and more expensive, that is the reason: it's in color and hardbacked, versus the Essentials, which are black and white and paperbacked. If you're into plot and characters' speeches, you probably should steer more toward the Essentials series. If you like admiring the artwork and action packed battles of the early Marvel universe, and don't mind forking over ...

What? Then captain america is discovered imprisoned in a block of ice, where he is worshipped by Eskimos. Eskimos don't worship frozen human beings.

Marvel's answer to the JLAIt 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 of the most powerful super team of the 60's and 70's.

Read More Rating: - Companion piece for this great graphic novelAs great as this graphic novel was by itself, I know of one helluva great companion piece in the form of a book entitled "The Adventures of Darkeye: Cyber Hunter" whose odd manner of having log-entries over chapters seems almost like the script for a graphic novel, even though it is in the science fiction/high-tech and cyberpunk genre along with books like "Cryptonomicon", "Snow Crash", "Prey", and "Altered Carbon". Very fast-paced and visual as well as being very exciting due to its action-packed pages.
