LOVE LOVE LOVE! A great story, a ton of the best superhero characters in comics right now, all together in one comic.

A collection of first stories of various Marvel female superheroes. All of these I've read before. You've got a Black Widow story, which is one of the good ones, before the book went downhill. You've got a She-Hulk story which is surprisingly good as are most of the She-Hulk stories. You've got Captain Marvel about to go back to space - a weaker story though not bad. And Ms. Marvel - all of which so far has been awesome. And Thor. Sigh. The world of Thor always drives me crazy with its mythological but stilted bit and really this isn't any better. And then The Incredible Squirrel Girl with lousy art but oddly interesting writing. So a mixed bag but on the whole good, and a good first look at these books if you've not already seen them. 3.5 of 5.

A collection of the first issues of Ms Marvel, Captain Marvel, Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, She-Hulk, Thor and Black Widow. It's a great way to get them in hard copy for reading versus on the screen.

Lets be honest - a small little book containing only the very first issues of 6 different comics is not exactly going to be a gripping read; All you are getting is a bunch of prologues. As a one off volume though, I can see some merit. It's a sample platter to see if there are any of the individual stories you might want to pursue in the future. I my case I might look a bit more into the new Thor and Ms Marvel - but none of the other stories did anything that piqued my interest.
Art wise, it's a bit of a mixed bag. The art for Ms Marvel, Thor, and Black Widow were the highlights for me, but that is completely counterbalanced by the sheer awfulness of the She-Hulk issue - which was so ugly that I couldn't even bring myself to read more than a couple of pages of it.
I will probably read A-force volume two, but only because I got it out from the library at the same time as volume one. Beyond that I don't see any value in reading the later volumes.
Tidbits: She-Hulks dead-eyed stare; and Odin is not worthy (lol).

These are the first issues of these people and nothing new. Kind of a rip off. I guess it's good to see if you want to read them.

This collection contains the #1 issues from various female-fronted avengers comics. I'd read Ms Marvel before, and enjoyed it enough to read the next few issues. I'd never even heard of Squirrel Girl, but found her story light and fun. I enjoyed She-Hulk and Captain Marvel enough that I'm ordering the next few issues. The only one I didn't enjoy as much was Thor, despite the fact that it was the one I was most intrigued by. First of all, this first issue barely has her in it. It's all about the god of thunder being a cry-baby.
Great way to explore some new-t0-me comics.

Surprised to find this was a collection of first issues of a bunch of lady led comics instead of A-Force, but it was a pleasant surprise. Now I'm going to have to read all of She-Hulk and Squirrel Girl. Great introduction to their lady-led lines.

Actual rating: 4 1/2
This was such a great, fun comic! If you like feminism, superheroes, and diverse and relatable characters, then pick this up right now.
This comic book has six parts, each one focusing and introducing a separate character. Many of the characters were great and had a lot of girl-power.
The art is sort of distinctive for the separate comics, but I loved the art in the Black Widow part, and the others were also really nice.
I'm excited to read more of this series!
