I read these books when they first came out and absolutely loved them. I just found out Chris Giarrusso is going to be at ALA. I'm wondering if I can possibly dig my Mini Marvels copies out of storage to get him to sign them.

Chris Giarrusso is my favourite artist. His stories are great as well. (So are the ones written by the other people. )

This is a trimmed down version of my review, to view the full review visit The Book Ramble.
The Mini Marvels are tiny, adorable versions of all your favourite Marvel characters. This book is a collection of comics featuring stories about the Marvel gang as they combat bullies, baddies, and each other. The stories are adorable, and often feature references to some of the most well known Marvel storylines (like Civil War). With adorable art and stories this book was a must-read for me.
I absolutely loved this book. It was super adorable. The art is cute and fits the characters well. The comic is written for all ages, so the humour is wide reaching and works well for a series of comics meant to fit a wide variety. The characters are well written, making great reference to the standard versions of the characters.
The stories are all references to stuff that has happened in older comics from the characters. There's a whole plotline about Spiderman turning into Venom and then Eddie Brock becoming Venom. There's the Civil War plot called "Civil Ward". These references are really great and poke fun at the original storylines. I thought this was one of the best things about the stories, as it really carries the humour of the book and makes the book a little more accessible for adult readers.
The art and humor of this comic are really fantastic. This comic is great for Marvel fans or newbies to the universe. I highly recommend.

Incredibly silly micro-stories of your favorite Marvel characters as "children". Stories are kid-friendly, but the brand of silliness is geared toward someone more mature, teens or above, without being "adult humor".
In this one: Spidey's attempts to deliver the newspaper to Dr. Osborne's house and trouble with Jameson (who somehow doesn't know he's Spiderman despite wearing the costume), the Thing being cured of his orange rocky skin, and silliness involving the Avengers and the X-men.
