Captain America, Iron Man, the Black Widow, Thor, the Vision, Nova, and the Invisible Woman...a powerful collective of the greatest heroes the world has ever known. They are the Avengers, and they want it known they're here to stay. But when Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants threaten to destroy several major cities unless their demands for mutant supremacy are met, the Avengers are forced to quit looking to the future, and start hoping to live through the day!

The reason I downloaded this ebook was out of sheer curiosity. The kindle version was available for free and I wanted to see how comics look on the black and white screen. That and the title had "Iron Man" in it.
This story shows the formation of the Avengers, led by Captain America and Susan Storm. Their first battle against Magneto is depicted. I liked the art and the story but was disappointed that there wasn't much of Iron Man.
How did the reading experience fare? As expected, reading comics on the Kindle device was not so great. I ended up reading this on my phone to view the colours. The best thing was that I could read individual panels separately on the Kindle app. Way to enhance usability!
Nice read. Bringing in the Avengers against Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants is great. Gotta get those hopes up for a possible film in this storyline. And you have to include The Invisible Woman into the Frey. Just imagine Scarlett Johansen and Jessica Alba having a catfight.
Didn't really enjoy this. Sure it had some of Marvels heroes in it but it took me 10 minutes to read. It's written for kids I know but nevertheless this is a key down on a regular graphic novel reader. Can't bring myself to even give it 3stars
More aimed at younger readers, the art work and presentation is solid but the storyline skin deep - unify the avengers to defeat the enemy and get approval to catch bad guys.
Está bueno para pasar el rato. Me pareció copado la diversidad del mundo Marvel: además de los Avengers, también estaba Magneto y chica invisible de los 4 fantásticos. Nunca los había visto juntos jaja
The audacity of the UN to try to lever oversight for operating budgets for the Avengers😁 . in steerable. But this issue also gives a very good illustration of hysteresis of Magneto's powers powers, dictated by Sue Storm.
