Oh boy. Reviewers have talked about how horrible the "Heroes Reborn" thing was, how it took established, loved characters and origins and turned them on their ears. I read the Fantastic Four compilation first, and was wondering what all the bad hype was about - yes, the origin story was "tweaked" a bit, and the characters' personalities were a bit different, but it was still decent reading. (And, if you read my review of that book, you'll know how much I loved the Stan Lee-esque dialog and text....
Oh Liefeld...Marvel actually may have been genius if they were truly trying to capture a pocket universe as created by Franklin Richards as they hired a man who proceeded to write this comic like it was written by a child.However if they wanted to produce a good comic, they failed miserably.When Simonson comes on he does a little meta joking (like explicitly questioning the quality of writing) but he does not salvage the book.
Oh my god, this was terrible. Why. WHY was this allowed to go to print? What even, people. I'm not sure if the whole "pocket universe created by the Richard's kid" was set from the beginning or if the fans shamed the writers into fixing this shit in Heroes Reborn: The Return and frankly, I don't care. This was just embarrassing to read.
Truly Marvel's lowest point, ever. Walt Simonson takes over writing chores on the last couple of issues, trying his best to salvage this deep sea wreck. Book contains several stories that are uncompleate, cross-overs to other titles.
Reprints Heroes Reborn: The Avengers #1-12 (November 1986-October 1997). The Avengers are dead…killed by Onslaught. When Loki finds himself in a new world and a new team of Avengers in front of him, he quickly forgets his past and sees new opportunity. The Avengers are young team and still trying to find their feet in the world…but the danger is growing quickly and their world might not last long.Written by Rob Liefeld, Jim Valentino, Jeph Loeb, and Walt Simonson, Heroes Reborn: The Avengers is
Yeesh, the first half of these comics are simply awful. Walt Simonson comes onboard to write the second half, doing the best he can with what he was given, and poking fun at a lot of it as well, but there's only so much damage control he can do.
Read all 4 Heroes Reborn graphic novels at the same time, in continuity order.The Avengers was pretty straight forward, and felt like a linking book between the other 3. The in depth focus on SHIELD and Hulk's internal stuff, plus the Liefeld art, make this one better than some of the others, but not stand out too much.Recommend.
The 2nd installment in the Heroes Reborn story arc.PROS-great art-nice origin of the characters-great villainCONS-there were missing parts in the story. Like when did ultron go rogue? when did hank and janet become ant-man and wasp? like whenn???
I was not impressed with Marvel's attempt at a relaunch of many of it's main titles. The art was Ok and the stories were not horrible but I just couldn't seem to get into the flow of the new series. I will give it a Recommended as it's a good read just not to my taste.
Pretty interesting re-imagining by a talented group of folks, but since this story crosses over with other titles *which aren't included here*, it does get confusing every now n' again.
The Heroes Reborn series reprints a good attempt one-year effort to re-imagine essential characters in the Marvel Comics universe. This represents the first time Marvel attempted to restart and modernize storylines launched by Stan Lee in the '60s. The storyline weaves through three other Heroes Reborn titles (Iron Man, Captain America, and The Avengers), so readers must have access to all four to keep pace with and appreciate the scope of these titles. Demands to introduce more and more charact...
Bad artwork and confusing storyline. I think its set in an alternate dimension.
