Avengers: The Vibranium Collection Hardcover – April 28, 2015

The classics all in one volume.

A little less user friendly than the comic would be if downloaded in a comic book app. I guess this is true with many kindle products. Wonderful collection of material.

The Avengers Vibranium Slipcase front by Alex Ross in homage to Jack Kirby's Avengers 4 cover. The Vibranium Edition is similar to the X-men Adamantium Edition and slightly different height and width than the King-Size Kirby or Taschen 75 years of Marvel. These are huge books that some people might find difficult to handle. Marvel does an amazing job in production. These books are sturdy and very well put together. The materials are high quality.Inside are 776 pages of a selection of the best Avengers stories per era. There are a few more stories they could've included from the second Byrne run or a few stories from the Thomas/Buscema run, such as the Squadron Sinister or the Invaders origin, but this is a great tribute to the Avengers.Jack Kirby and Stan Lee:Avengers 1 (1963) with the team origin as they face the manipulations of Loki, Avengers 4 (1964) where Captain America is found frozen and joins the team, and Avengers 16 (1965) first of many lineup change when the villains Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, and Quicksilver join the team. Thor, Iron Man, Giant-Man and the Wasp leave.John Buscema and Roy Thomas:Avengers 57-58 (1968) includes the defining Vision story, his original origin, Ultron, flashback to the Masters of Evil and Wonder Man fight, Vision vs the Avengers.Dave Cockrum and Steve Englehart:Giant-Size Avengers 2 (1974) is a time travel story where they face Kang the Conqueror. Also includes ties to Rama-Tut, as the Avengers go back to ancient Egypt. An Avenger dies.John Buscema and Roger Stern in Avengers 164-166 (1977):Count Nefaria infuses three B-list villains to fight the Avengers, imbuing them with more power than they've ever had before. Living Laser, Whirlwind and Power Man give the Avengers more than they can handle. Nefaria has been using the three to fuel his own super powers. Now, he combines all three power sets to the Nth level, making himself almost a "superman". Even more than any Squadron Sinister/Supreme battle, this is Thor and Vision vs Superman. Byrne was in his prime on this all too brief run.Roger Stern and John Buscema, Avengers 273-277 (1986-87):Acclaimed Under Siege storyline pitting the Avengers against the Masters of Evil assault on Avengers mansion. I love Absorbing Man, whose real name (Crusher Creel) is better than his villainous name. The lineup includes Hercules, Captain America, Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau), Wasp, the Black Knight, and later, Thor.Kurt Busiek and George Perez, Avengers vol 3, 19-22 (1999):The Busiek-Perez run is one of the best in Avengers history at the end of the comic market speculation implosion. One of the best Ultron stories, also features the Grim Reaper, brother of Simon Williams, Wonder Man. Firestar and Justice have joined the Avengers after leaving the defunct New Warriors.Geoff Johns and Oliver Copiel 65-70 (2003)Red Zone storyline begins with a mysterious red cloud drifting through South Dakota, killing people in its wake. The story is decent and features excellent artwork from Copiel. The Avengers lineup features Warbird (Captain Marvel), Jack of Hearts, She-Hulk, Ant-man, Black Panther, Iron Man, Scarlet Witch, Vision, and Captain America, making an attractive group for the Marvel Cinematic Universe fan.Brian Michael Bendis and David Finch, New Avengers 1-6 (2009):Beautiful artwork from David Finch in Breakout, where the Avengers have disbanded following the tragedy of House of M. When super-villains break out of the Raft prison, a group of heroes come together to hunt them down. The lineup features Spider-woman, Luke Cage, Captain America, and Sentry. They face a host of villains, including the Purple Man, the U-foes and Electro. A host of heroes and villains have cameos or are mentioned.Jonathan Hickman and Jerome Opena, Avengers vol5 1-3 (2013):Once again, this format really makes Opena's artwork pop. The Avengers face cosmic beings Ex Nihilo, Aleph and Abyss.Huge lineup contains Captain America, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Thor, Hulk, Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, Wolverine, Spider-Woman, Cannonball, Sunspot, Manifold, Shang-Chi, Falcon, Smasher, Hyperion, Captain Universe.

This massive tome needs its own bookstand. It is HUGE! I really like it, but it's a chore to carry anywhere. Even from the bookshelf to a table. It's a nice variety of Avengers stories, beautifully presented. The price probably dropped so fast because you need help bringing it in from the post office.

Boy a great big format to show the best work. But most is missing in this lazy random collection.Like the first Sal Buscema squadron sinister, Barry Smiths first Ultron, Neal Adams kree skrull war, Shooter Perez Korvac saga, return of Wonderman ant man and ultron, first Jocosta, something from John Byrnes later run!! Taskmaster!

Gran recopilación, gran tamaño. Me ha gustado mucho.

FANTASTIC

OK, but a little late!
