Reviews

[Arman Waggoner · Rating 4 out of 5]

After reading and watching Ant-Man and The Wasp and Ant-Man and Wasp: Quantumania, I got Marvel high and wanted to read more of the Marvel-verse. Ok, so Marvel-Verse is about collected stories about each hero, heroes and even villains.

[Craig Lotter · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another good collection of stories for this Marvel-Verse outing, featuring a good mix of both all ages and slightly more complex stories. Fun artwork, and action and thoughtfulness aplenty, makes for a decent primer for learning all about Black Panther's younger sister.

[Brigid · Rating 3 out of 5]

Confusing mix of single-issue comics. Each one reads fine by itself but the stories and styles are so different that the book itself doesn't really hang together.

amazing as always.
