[Goose · Rating 3 out of 5]

Though this is great for someone starting to read the Avengers, for someone like me, who's been a reader since the 70s, it was just ok. I felt too many characters were given short entries when they could have been longer. Also, another editorial pass might have improved the actual layout and the places were words were missing or where a picture of the Swordsman was labelled The Black Knight. Good but could have been better.

A big, fun book full of color pictures and stories that walk the reader through the history of the Avengers.

Notes
