A review by kamaria
Avengers Assemble, Vol. 1 by Kurt Busiek
2.0
It started great, but ended up being boring. Earth's mightiest superheroes should have at least mildly entertaining story arcs. I expected much better from Busiek!
The first three issues, where every past member of the Avengers fights against Morgan Le Fay (of all things!) was kind of great. I even enjoyed witnessing the formation of the new team and Carol Danvers' trouble with alcohol. But a love triangle between The Vision, Scarlet Witch, and Wonder Man? And the whole plot depends on it? Ugh, please, no.
Also, why is it that only female superhumans worry about sterility and having kids? Oh wait, because only women care about children. Right. Shame is that this mindset is still present in the MCU.
Perez's artwork sometimes shines and sometimes is burdensome. I'm not a big fan, but I can appreciate the skill that goes into it.
