Съдържа: Огромен Малък Марвел: О с/у Х #1-4 и О-Бебета срещу Х-Бебета #1 – сценарий и рисунки от Скоти Янг и допълнителни рисунки от Gurihiru.
Тайните войни унищожиха мултивселената! Остана само Боенсвят! И в царство Марвил цяло училище хлапета със супер сили дават всичко от себе си, за да оправдаят името на планетата! От строго секретните им дървесни къщички Отмъстителите и Х-мен се бият за всичко и всеки – от екшън фигурки до бърза закуска и народна топка. Но когато брат и сестра – близнаци, се нанасят в града, детската площадка става невиждано бойно поле, докато двата отбора се боричкат, за да ги вербуват! Дали новите попълнения ще се присъединят към най-дребните герои на Земята, Децата на атома… или Пазителите на детската градина?!?
Плюс: В най-първата история, вдъхновена от вариантните корици на Скоти Янг, Циклопа и Капитан Америка се карат за плюшеното мече Бъки Когато тези младши Отмъстители и Х-Мен загърбят тетрадките, в полза на шамарите им се пише само едно: неприятности!

It's fun to share the books you love with your kids (or nieces, nephews, close friend's etc..), but sometimes it can be hard to find quality stuff for the younger set. I'm at the point in my illustrious mothering career that allows me to freely hand out stuff to my older ones, yet I still find it difficult to track down good comics for the 8 year old. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of non-superhero graphic novels in her reading level! But...she's not always interested in those.<--I can relate.
This one was recommended to me by Sam, who as far as I can tell doesn't even like children. <--I can relate to that, as well. I find random children highly annoying & more than occasionally gross. The point is, I usually believe that if something is written well enough that both kids & adults can enjoy the humor, then you're probably looking at a winner. That's definitely the case here.
Of course, my daughter and I liked this one for vastly different reasons. She's a kid and I'm an adult, for God's sake! So, Sophie liked it for all the reasons a 3d grader would enjoy a comic - silly but fun storylines, brightly-colored action, and all her favorite characters delivering sassy punchlines. And I liked it because...Ok, fine. I liked it for the same reasons she did.
Admittedly, I was far more excited that this was done by Scottie Young than she was, but it was cool that she really thought the drawings were super cute. She's at that age where a lot of little girls suddenly consider themselves more mature than the "little" kids, and therefore suddenly feel the need to love/nurture all the babies. I don't personally get it, but (after watching my older daughter do this) I'm saying it's a real thing. Point is, she was really digging the art. Because BABIES.
Now, obviously, this isn't the realAvX storyline. It is, however, a much shorter, cuter, re-imagined version of it! In fact, if you're thinking of purchasing the original, I'd tell you that Young's AvX would be a better way to spend your money. Seriously.
The Avengers and the X-Men are kiddie-fied in Giant-Size Little Marvel: AvX, adorably “battling” one another over nothing (like their adult selves more often than not)! Then a pair of twins arrive in the neighbourhood and the Avengers and X-Men have a new thing to fight about: convincing the new kids to join their side over the other!
Like the best Secret Wars tie-ins, Giant-Size Little Marvel: AvX has nothing to do with the main event; it’s really a sequel to Skottie Young’s brilliant standalone comic from a few years ago that parodied the stupid Avengers vs X-Men event, A-Babies vs X-Babies (for completeness, context and some padding, the one-shot is also included in this volume).
Young’s probably best known for his chibi Marvel variant covers and this is basically like reading a comic featuring those characters. Young’s artwork is wonderfully whimsical, accentuated by his I Hate Fairyland colourist Jean-Francois Beaulieu’s bright and eye-popping colours - the visuals are a huge part of this book’s appeal.
It’s essentially a satire on the melodramatic silliness of superhero comics where characters get into overblown fights on the flimsiest of pretexts, and it’s fun to see Young poke gentle fun at this archetypical structure by having the sides fight over things as benign as competing food trucks! There’s also tender mockery of the characters like Wolverine’s status as both an Avenger and X-Man and the bizarre nature of the Inhumans.
For me the only criticism was that the tie-in felt a bit overlong, despite being only four issues, due to the repetitive one-dimensional concept - that’s why the original one-shot worked so beautifully as it didn’t outstay its welcome.
Giant-Size Little Marvel: AvX is a charmingly subversive light comedy of superhero proportions that I really enjoyed. Well worth a look for Marvel and Skottie Young fans, whether or not you’re gonna read Secret Wars.
Y'know, no review's required for this one except to say that Skottie Young is the best cartoonist in the game since Bill Watterson hung up his brushes.
This book was absolutely hilarious and totally adorable! Buy it already! Get Skottie Young on an ongoing Little Marvels book, like, NOW!
The best thing to come out of Secret Wars. Like the best comics from Secret Wars, it has nothing to do with Secret Wars. This book is so much fun. I love Young's little flourishes like giving Captain America a lower case "a" on his forehead and having Hawkeye shoot suction cup arrows. Young's art is gorgeous.
Yes, it's lighter than air fluff, but it's still a lot of fun to read. It's pretty much exactly what I'd expected when I saw it, really. All of Skottie Young's baby variant covers? This is the world those characters inhabit. And it's adorable and deeply silly and wonderfully mindless fun.
This volume collects four issues of wonderfully cute and funny battles between the baby X-Men and the baby Avengers. Ever since I saw Skottie Young's baby superheroes for the first time, I've been IN LOVE! I mean, no matter which Marvel character is portrayed, they are all so adorable! *happy squeal* And the writers managed to include some pretty funny 4th-wall-breaking as well as self-ironic jokes:
What is this about? Well, we are introduced to Marville, a small town where the baby superheroes grow up and go to school (guess who the professor teacher is). ;P And of course it doesn't matter if they play in their free time or during recess, they always end up battling one another. The tree houses were pretty epic. And yes, I know which one I'd chose. Also, funnily enough, even the GOTG make an appearance (as well as their foe(s)) and I swear your ears would have popped if you had heard me when I saw baby Groot and baby Rocket!!!
Alright, alright. That's enough now. If you want to see/know more, get the comic and read it! I promise, it's very entertaining. :D
Giant-Size Little Marvel: AvX is one great funny and feelgood garphic novel. Even if you are not an expert and only have some knowledge about the Marvel universe, you can check this out. Of course if you are a fan, you going to love it. There are a lot great inside jokes that will give you a big laugh. Also the art is just adorable.
Marvel likovi kao klinci kojima treba jos manje razloga da sve krene u opstu tucu. Price kao price i nema samo sukob dva tima oko novo pridoslih blizanaca. I iskreno vise ni nije potrebno posto gomila akcije sa puno humora odlicno drzi paznju za ovakvu jednu knjizicu. Plus artwork je predivan.
Po meni preporuka za svakog ljubitelja superheroja.
Ha! A hoot. And a half, maybe. I mean, it's not like there's any big, great shakes, but Skottie Young's illustrations of kid heroes is awesome, plus he's not afraid to throw in a blind Daredevil gag.
It took me back to the days of What The--?!
Yes, the Marvel Mag Of Mirth And Mayhem. The series that saw Marvel skewer its own characters in Mad Magazine style. Y'know, shit like Thanos using the Infinity Gauntlet as a barbecue mitt. Which you totally could do. Or a lady Wolverine, which...totally happened later on. What's next, lady Ghostbusters?
Can we talk about lady Ghostbusters for a second? We're done with this review, right? Anyone who reads the shit I write on here knows the reviews BARELY have anything to do with the books. It's like, "We get it Cormac McCarthy, you're like the perfect writer. Now let me tell you about something that happened to me at the grocery store."
It's become this political thing to declare whether or not you're going to see the new lady Ghostbusters movie. And I think that's really weird.
If I may, I saw the trailer for the new Ninja Turtles movie. My god. What the fuck? What in the actual fuck? I don't know why that exists, I don't know who's excited. I don't know why Megan Fox is still a thing and why she's in a schoolgirl outfit. That's SO Jennifer's Body, you guys.
I only bring up TMNT because I would be WAY more interested to hear someone say, "I'm going to that movie" than I would to hear whether or not someone's going to Ghostbusters. Because what is inside that person's head? Are we 100% sure that TMNT isn't just a trap, and when someone asks for a ticket they aren't rounded up and brought to some facility to be studied?
Look, see it, don't see it. I don't really care. The entire internet, to me, sounds like when you go to the movies, and there's some fuckhead who has to say, "That looks good" after every trailer. WE DON'T CARE. I assume you're not the reincarnation of Roger Ebert, that they didn't set a bunch of shit in front of you and you reached for some round, thick framed glasses when you were a baby, proving your heritage. I don't really care which movies you're seeing, The Internet, and I DEFINITELY don't care which movies you're not seeing.
As for me, well, I've developed my criteria well in advance, and so I don't really make movie decisions anymore. My criteria are pretty straightforward, and I suggest you all adopt them.
If your film contains:
Superheroes that aren't Superman Someone who is referred to as a "Demolition Man" A police sergeant who screams at someone Mad Max: Fury Road
Then I'm probably going.
If your movie contains:
Stallone, but NOT referred to as a "Demolition Man." A super prison of some kind A star war
Then I'm probably going drunk.
As for the rest, fuck it. It's a roll of the dice and depends on how hungry I am for popcorn.
This might actually be my first dose of Skottie Young. I've heard about this dude for hears (years even!), and admired his covers ever since the first one I saw. He is Shallow Comics Readers approved - his stuff looks fun, no one has exposed him as a pedophile, rapist or abuser. Those are pretty much the SCR qualifiers. (Anne, Jeff , Gavin - what am I missing here?)
The jokes, they are fast and loose - sometimes groan-worthy:
Sometimes hilarious: [Why have I never heard that nickname before? THIS MUST BE CANON NOW]
Sometimes uncomfortable:
Sometimes bitingly uncomfortable: [I'm pretty sure Rob Liefeld is crying into his last moneybag]
But mostly just some harmless fun. Thanks Skottie!
Така, да си го кажа от сега – „Огромен Малък Марвел: Отмъстителите срещу Х-Мен“ (изд. „Студио Арт Лайн”) е любимият ми комикс на Марвел издаван на български от „Спайдър-мен: Класика от Марвел“ насам. За по-младите ни читатели, разбирайте – най-готиното супергеройско нещо за последните петнадесетина години. Свежарските и мегасладурски интерпретации на известните герои, дело на талантливия Скоти Янг, са истинска радост, както за дългогодишни, заклети фенове, така и за тепърва прохождащи млади комикс ентусиасти. Прочетете ревюто на "Книжни Криле": https://knijnikrile.wordpress.com/202...
Kids will get the most out of this all-ages book featuring kid & baby versions of many popular Marvel characters, from the Avengers to the X-Men, even including (but why?) the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Inhumans. Yes, it's cute & fun, and there are some good gags, but it's good it stopped when it did. Cyclops' 'Eye Puns' were getting tedious and, yes, made me roll my eyes.
As a side note: I was looking forward to Batman: Li'l Gotham Deluxe Edition (coming out in November 2016), but now... well, I'm not so sure I won't be disappointed. Still, I wonder how these two books will compare.
Love it. The story is a little simple, but really, it's all just an excuse to build up to that great splash page with all the little heroes punching each other. If you like Skottie Young's style, its gold. If not, this book isn't for you.
This has to be the most adorable thing I've ever seen! To see all the marvel characters as little kids was the cutest!!
There's not much to the story and it took me about 15 minutes to read, but that doesn't stop it from being awesome. I haven't ever read any Marvel comics before but I got the gist of most of the jokes from watching the movies.
The baby story at the end was even cuter!! You may have to check my pulse because I think I've died from a cuteness overload.
Едва ли някога ще стана голям фен на Марвел Вселената, но чинно купувам всички комикси, които Студио Артлайн издава, защото в тази свита у нас жанрова ниша подобни начинания трябва да се поощряват, а пък и четящият от синковците ми, поглъща шарените книжки с кеф. Но трябва да призная, Скоти Янг определено има чувство за хумор и е направил този албум една идея по-поносим за моя милост.
Funny but less than I expected. Skottie Young isn't good at writing how good he's to draw (something he does really, really, well). I preferred AvX-Babies instead of the main story :D
This was a complete joy to read, I am officially a fan of Skottie Young not just for his creative adorable artwork but his humor and his writing. This is a perfect light comic for Marvel fans, it'll have you cheering and laughing out loud for everyone. Super impressed by it.
Because who doesn't love seeing a Spider-Man with a super-bulbous head?
Skottie Young is getting famous for drawing super young versions of superheroes, and finally we've got a book written, illustrated, and...probably endorsed by Skottie Young. I don't know if he approves of his own work, but you gotta believe, right?
Rather than telling the Avengers V X-Men story as it was in the regular comics, what with the angst and Phoenix powers and lah-dee-dah, we get a much lighter, more fun version where a couple new kids move into Mar-Ville, and just the way it often happens in school, everyone wants to be friends with the new kids. Or maybe that's the opposite of how it happens. I don't know. I was never a new kid NOR did I have friends, so this is all speculation.
Great choice if your a fan of comics who doesn't mind a little fun poked at your favorite heroes.
All the stars!!! Hilarious and adorable, and i can't believe this has been my favorite Secret Wars tie-in so far. Has absolutely nothing to do with the original AvX event, and very little to do with Secret Wars. But it's so cute! And so funny! Skottie Young's renditions of so many X-men, Avengers, Inhumans, and Guardians of the Galaxy - all as little kids. The follow-up story is more of the same, only with Gurihiru drawing the heroes as babies. Baby Beast is adorable! There's even a Baby Beta Ray Bill! I love exclamation points!!!!
This is another Secret Wars tie-in that isn't really an important part of the larger Marvel Universe, but exists simply because it's fun.
Most of the humor is reliant on a basic understanding of each character, and silly without being unbearably so. The story isn't complex and can be read by all ages and the bright and unique art is enjoyable to peruse over.
I love this. I love this so much. Whoever came up with this is a genius and oh my god. I am a little sad that it ended just as Quicksilver appeared, who is my favourite of all time. But OH MY GOD THIS IS MY FAVOURITE MARVEL COMIC FOR SURE.
I love Skottie Young's art style because it's adorable and this issue was super cute and super fun. Definitely needed when you think about how dire the 616 universe has been lately.
