"Marvel Adventures: The Avengers Volume 5 Some Assembling Required Digest (Marvel Adventures)"



WORTH CONSUMING!

I really enjoy the Marvel Adventures series. I know they are more geared for younger readers. But, like a Disney movie, it also has something to offer for the adults. This series, while not canon, culls from the vast 50 years of Marvel Comics lore to create some fantastic stories featuring classic Avengers such as Hercules, Hawkeye, and many others, which appear fresh for kids and a welcome friend for us “old fogies”

However, I must complain as to why Marvel feels that the need to add to the cast of MA: Avengers. The lineup of Giant Girl, Wolverine, Storm, Spider-man, Capt. America, Iron Man, and The Hulk is the best line-up I’ve ever had the privilege to read about. Their powerful, witty, and have great chemistry. Now, I am afraid with these new members, that’s going to change. Only time will tell if this series thrives or fails.

Until then, it’s worth consuming!
