VERY FINE/NEAR MINT Written by C.B. CEBULSKI, MATT YOCUM, DANIEL MERLIN GOODBREY, DOUGLAS NOBLE, T. CAMPBELL & SCOTT GRAY
Penciled by PAUL NEARY, BRIAN DENHAM, NELSON, DENIS MEDRI & ROGER LANGRIDGE
Cover by BRYAN HITCH As the Avengers battle to take down the Serpent Society, the team recalls never-before-told tales of their past! Watch as:
Spider-Man tries to integrate into a team and learns a thing or two about history, Luke Cage and Wolverine go toe-to-toe against a terrifying cosmic foe, Henry Peter Gyrich becomes an unlikely hero on an unlikely world, and Jarvis the butler cleans house…after some robot Vikings drop by unexpectedly. On top of all that—it’s the return of the critically-acclaimed Fin Fang Four by Scott Grey and Roger Langridge! That’s 55 pages of all-new comics, PLUS classic reprints from Avengers history!
"It’s good, but FIVE DOLLARS good? No. Especially when half the book is reprints. But if you happen to be swimming in post-holiday cash, there’s a few gems buried in this Ridiculous-Size one-shot. The cheesecake-heavy framing sequence by C.B. Cebulski and Jim Cheung. The hilarious ‘Panegyrich’. The clever and off-beat ‘Emperor None’. And a welcome bonus in a new funny Fin Fang Four strip. But $5? When almost half are reprints? Man, no! How ‘bout Marvel just makes one of these one-shots that’s GASP all-new material?! I’m sorry you had to witness my crazy right there. I’ll never bring it up again."
