Avengers: Mythos - Individual Issue Reviews!

When these issues were first released, I read and reviewed them over at comicvine.com.

Since then there has been quite a bit of news surrounding some of these characters, so I thought I would bring the spotlight back on this somewhat unknown TPB and its collected stories…

Besides, the cover art is amazing for these books!

Here are my reviews for each individual issue (name here represents the name of my review for that issue):

1. Mutant Siblings Against the World
2. I’m with Pym
3. Caged Hero - Unleashed
4. More Like, “Origins: Mjolnir”
5. A Vision of Humanity

Here is information about the Trade Paperback: Avengers: Mythos

enJOY!

When Thor forgets to put away his toys…

I thought of this concept when I found the Wolverine Mighty Mugg left behind on the floor by his owner (my son, Sebastian)… Of all the things that he could have left sitting in the middle of the floor, I have to say, seeing Wolverine made me smile.

I then thought… what if Thor left his toys behind?

What could be so important to Thor that he might forget Mjolnir and leave all the other Mighty Muggs trying to figure out the mystery of how to clean up after the God of Thunder…

Uncanny Avengers #1

Recommendation: “Yeah, you are not gonna want to miss the foundation started here.”

To Harvest an Empire

First off. How many variant covers do we need? Seriously.

AND, a 1:300? Come on. AND a variant of a variant only eligible if your story throws a party? I get the Deadpool thing, but, “Call Me, Maybe?” - NOOOOOO!

This is quite some initiation we have going on here. All for a book that didn’t blow me away. Sure. I gave it a 4.0 / 5.0 - seems to be the average for this book based on other ratings, but still, I was EXPECTED a 5.0 / 5.0 - I mean this was to be the premier premiere book of Marvel NOW!

Okay, enough ranting (for now).

I loved the Skottie Young variant. But then again, who doesn’t? I also loved that there was a glossy print of his work available for the “launch party”. Definitely worth it.

The other cover that I enjoyed was the Oliver Coipel Variant.

As you can see, I have both here, en lieu of the standard cover, which was my least favorite.

On to the interior content… it was decent. The art was good, takes some getting used to, but it is certainly doesn’t distract from the story.

The story. Okay, I love me some Rick Remender. I guess I am just going to have to wait this out. A lot of what goes on in this issue, and what is revealed doesn’t make a lot of sense… but then again, this is the intro book for this new series. I just hope we get plenty of explanation for the last page. I mean, what? how? Yikes.

So, this gets a pretty high mark. Less than I expected. And I do have to say that the Skottie Young Variant helped the overall score, in my mind.

One thing the book does, and I have heard this from other people as well, it nicely continues the even story - doesn’t skip a beat - and it does introduce a decent way to merge the teams as well as a formidable obstacle for them to tackle together.

I am definitely looking forward to where this goes. I am also definitely NOT going to collect all the variants, lest I go broke.

My son Sebastian has a bit of publisher brand conflict, but still a superhero to me!
