What an adorable, hilarious book! The depictions of the various different Marvel characters were spot on, both in terms of personality and appearance, which is very difficult to pull off convincingly in a Japanese manga art style like we see here. It's expertly done. Similarly, the depictions of Chewie, the Flerken main character who is basically a cat from space, are absolutely perfect (purrfect 😽). As someone who has lived with and adored cats from day one, I can tell that the artist (and anyone else involved in Chewie's direction) REALLY understands what cats are like--their silly quirks, their adorable behaviors, the movements and silhouettes unique to the cat body--and they have the skill to translate all of that onto the page with just a few lines. Furthermore, I loved how this book periodically provided descriptions of the characters that had been shown. It helped to see who the ones I didn't recognize were, and it was exciting to see characters that I know I'm soon going to learn more about in upcoming MCU series and movies!
