The rest of the stories are all well done and some are just so different in their perspective that it feels like an independent comic rather than a Marvel book. It is interesting how little politics comes into play here. The political injustice is only emphasized when it's taking place in other nations. The injustices within our own borders just are barely touched upon. That being said the real power here is all of the incredible perspectives and amazing artwork emphasizing these rich, realized characters from so many walks of life. This book is a wonderful start but we definitely need more of this in mainstream comics. Not only diverse voices and artists but also a feeling of editorial freedom where creators can go beyond traditional stories and perspectives. Read Full Review

A fitting collection to celebrate storytelling and representation, that holds up the Black experience and wraps a blanket of context and love around the heroes of some of Marvels most beloved comics. Read Full Review

Anthologies gives us a chance to see some of our favorite heroes away from their main titles. For some people, this may be a skip because anthologies don't have the depth you may want from the comics. But this one is done very well, it shows them being heroes and how they act in their everyday lives. Read Full Review

Mohale Mashigo, Chris Allen, and Rachelle Rosenberg crafted a short story of joy and bonding that is a pleasure to read and left a smile on my face. Read Full Review

Marvel's Voices continues to be a good anthology series with each story holding a message that's easy to understand, sometimes enlightening, and above all else positive. More importantly, this book continues to highlight less familiar creators and give them a chance to shine. For a book like this, they achieved that and more. Read Full Review

The Mouse House of Ideas assembles a fantastic cast of talent to bring stories, concepts and voices to the fore that you might not have seen otherwise. Read Full Review

The stories here aren't meant to be groundbreaking, necessarily, but they are supposed to shed new light on some characters that we may not see all that frequently. And to that end, it serves as not only a great read, but a fantastic way to celebrate this month-long observance. Read Full Review

I feel like this second attempt succeeds with most of its stories. These snapshots aren't the grand stories that we often find in the pages of an ongoing series but smaller moments that speak to the core of the characters. To an extent, the stories feel less self-indulgent than the previous Marvel Voices comic. The creators focus more on the moments they are trying to convey and the character. With that in mind, .you'll find some great reads. Read Full Review

This is a pretty fun read and well worth checking out if you are a fan of any of these characters or want to find out more about them. It was enough for me that I would follow up on some of the releases featuring some of them in the future. Read Full Review

It's a solid issue that could have benefited from each story having the same amount of pages to work with. Read Full Review

This book was great when I read it - I especially enjoyed the innocence of the "girl's night" story, just to see those young heroes be out of their elemenet for a change, and just let their guard down instead of puffing out their chest all the time to try and measure up to their idols. And Ridley's Spidey, was another slam dunk for a week that included another great short from the legend by way of Batman Black & White. And it's hard to get praise for a short through this medium, but Ridley is a vet who flexes his skills in this short like he was writing another installment to "American Way". - Audiomack.com/cvrthebard

A diverse pack of creators throw up short, simple strips celebrating some of Marvel's more melanin-rich heroes. The folks who dare to actually try telling a story do a decent job of it, but this is more about making statements than entertaining readers. The strips aren't exactly groundbreaking, but the statements are worth making. For example, Nnedi Okorafor's Venom strip is rather weak tea as a comic story. But if it gets you to Google "EndSARS," it's done good work.

This wasn't a great collection of stories. In fact, the only one I'd recommend is the very first one by John Ridley. And that'll take you all of 10 seconds to read.

Anthologies are always rough and this was not a particularly good anthology.

Oh boy! hahaha

Toonstrack - Feb 25, 2021

Reviews like this shouldn't be allowed on here.

Merlyn - Feb 26, 2021

Yes, they should, stop telling people what the should or should not say.

Toonstrack - Feb 26, 2021

No, they shouldn't. This review gets things factually wrong, doesn't give an opinion on the book and makes a joke that has nothing to do with the book. Its not even a review.

Toonstrack - Feb 26, 2021

By those parameters alone it shouldn't be classified as a "review" on the site

Merlyn - Feb 26, 2021

It's a fucking joke, stop being so thought-control-ish. Whether it's in good taste or not, it's up to debate but it's just a joke, stop being so butthurt and stop asking for censorship because it "offends" your supposed sensibilities. You don't get to classify what is or is not a review.

Toonstrack - Feb 26, 2021

Umm what? That's like saying I dont get to say my aunts dog is a dog or not. Words have meanings. This is factually NOT a review.

Toonstrack - Feb 26, 2021

Im not asking die censorship i want the review section to have REVIEWS. This is NOT a review. What is hard to understand here?

fearUhavemeisenough - Feb 27, 2021

Then they should also remove those who only qualify and most importantly, before asking to remove someone they must justify it in the policies of the site, otherwise it is pure tyranny.

Psycamorean - Feb 28, 2021

This person definitely didn't read the comic, considering at least one white male actually did work on this issue. And therefore, they don't actually have an opinion, they're just a reactionary moron who got upset that Marvel put out a comic celebrating black history month. Their "review" should be taken down.

Psycamorean - Feb 28, 2021

Looking at his profile, he seems like the standard comicsgater who just review bombs everything that he's afraid of, while complaining incessantly about it. Review bombers should be purged from the site, if its aggregate system is to hold any water.

Merlyn - Feb 28, 2021

If review bombers should be "purged" from the site, so should people who rate books with 10 constantly, if its aggregate system is to hold any water. I've seen some people rating some books or writers constantly with 10, even though the book is far from that score. The problem is, how do you decide when it's "bombed" or when someone rates it with 10 automatically? There's not a clear method to it so it's better to let reviews be, regardless of the rating.

Psycamorean - Feb 28, 2021

I agree that people who don't write anything, or write something that clearly is about ideology rather than the content of the book as justification, and rate everything 1 or 10 probably should be purged from the site. I think it's very easy to see a pattern in a user's habits. Dan, the site owner, has removed users in the past for review bombing.

Merlyn - Mar 1, 2021

Oh no, how could someone not like progressive ideology, such a sin, right?

Psycamorean - Mar 1, 2021

Well, that has nothing to do with the conversation. I didn't explicitly say conservative ideology or regressive ideology, I just said ideology.

Psycamorean - Mar 1, 2021

The point is that every book should be judged by its content, not by a preconception. And we know this guy doesn't read what he rates because he's explicitly said he hasn't in at least one of his reviews.

Psycamorean - Mar 1, 2021

But hey, I'll take the bait, people who dislike progressive ideology are either ill-informed, willfully ignorant, or terrible people.

Merlyn - Mar 1, 2021

Come on, you can hardly find any conservative arguments in comics today. Books that create propaganda for progressivism on the other hand, that's kinda the norm.

Merlyn - Mar 1, 2021

Nope, people who dislike conservative ideology are either ill-informed, willfuly ignorant or terrible people. Or just dumb, you know. As Cap would put it, I can do this all day.

Psycamorean - Mar 1, 2021

It's not the specific ideology that matters, it's that people react childishly to it and it fucks up this website. I don't care about your persecution complex. Get over it.
