Marvels Snapshot: Avengers #1

MARVELS SNAPSHOTS AVENGERS #1 works as a light-hearted romantic comedy in the unlikeliest of settings. The story is chock full of witty banter and the art is fairly solid. This is a recommended buy. Read Full Review

This book proves how incredible the work of Busiek and Ross on the original Marvels books truly was. Making a solid, believable story about people living their everyday lives as they run into heroes can be a beautiful treat. Unfortunately, done badly it is a cloying parody of the stories and characters it celebrates. Read Full Review

The strength of this Snapshot series is the different takes on the Marvel universe, but this particular story following Kerry and Jay is one best forgotten or left unread altogether. Read Full Review

Perfect. So much Heart in a marvel book... enjoyed every page and just kept thinking: man, why are there not more comics like this from the big two. I’m shocked how low the resonance was for this issue. For me a 10/10

This isn't very good. It feels like something out of a lesser 90s comic. It's kinda boring. I get what they were going for, but it misses the mark. And you know what, this doesn't really affect the score, but maybe I don't want to read a comic about all the good cops forming a camaraderie against the one racist bad cop because "they're all blue." The optics on this are not great.

A new-in-town paramedic and a rookie cop protect civilians while the Avengers fight a giant robot. It's a nice ground-level look at the Marvel universe, and the romantic angle is sweet. But the creative work, words and art, just isn't ready for primetime.

Not well written, not good art, that “all cops are so great it’s just one or two bad apples” thing is such a bad look in this day and age, yikes. And like... let’s not even get into the implicit politics of that confrontation. Just yikes.
