Marvel Super Hero Adventures- Captain Marvel: Frost Giants Among Us! #1

A blizzard has rendered New York City immobile. As a result, the Avengers have nothing to do. So it's video games, hot chocolate and boredom. Lots of boredom! But that all changes when a pair of frost giants appear in Times Square reeking massive amounts of frigid havoc!

Then Spider-Man must stop a group of pirates who have stolen a yacht full of items being auctioned for charity. But since the Hudson doesn't have a lot of high areas for Spidey to swing from, the wall-crawler must take a detour through the sky-scrapers of downtown.

This book also contains some fun and games activities. There's a colorful maze of the Bifrost Bridge. Plus there are 4 more funny comic strip parodies by Ty Templeton. And finishing out the book is a pin-up to for kids to color- OF SPIDER-MAN!

You know, I am not really sure why any of these Marvel Super Hero Adventures one-shots are being titled after Captain Marvel. It's not that I have anything against Carol Danvers. It's just that she's barely in the frost giants story and she's nowhere in the Spider-Man back-up feature. If anything, this book should be named after Spider-Man as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales have more action and lines in the title tale. 

That first story set the perfect ambiance of a frosty Winters read. I loved how it gave me a post-holidays feel. This is a great comic for kids of all-ages to read. Just add a huge blanket and that hot cocoa. I only wish that Spidey's back-up tale was a little more chilly. It's just a pinch too sunny for a Winter special. But enjoyable none-the-less.

Worth Consuming but man is that title in complete error!

Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
