Avengers by Jonathan Hickman Omnibus 1

Hickman's Avengers, being the bulwark to his expansion of the story started in his Fantastic Four, can feel mighty bloated at times, but seeing through all the fat that its rendered made me amazed at how much knowledge i retained reading through all these issues. I must say, and it needs to be said, that these Omnis, they laid the groundwork for the best universe ending and restarting crossover, possibly ever. And that is worth buying and reading.

Hickman's Avengers run is one of the greatest and most epic tales ever told in a graphic novel, with beautiful artwork that does justice to the story and characters. This is Vol 1 of 2, and I have both. The story is chock full of dozens of characters, many of whom (Tony, Steve, T'Challa, Namor especially) get really complex and satisfying arcs. It's spliced with complex science fiction ideas and mysticism, and it completely remakes the Marvel Universe status quo by setting the table for Secret Wars. Must read stuff for any Marvel aficionado!

I haven't been following on going comic book series for a while, but remember very fondly reading Hickman's Avengers (and the fantastic Secret Wars). The book has aged phenomenally, and I see even the upcoming Avengers movie is taken some cues from this run (ie, Thanos's Cabal). As in much of Hickman's work, Avengers and New Avengers revel in not revealing everything to the reader until later in the story. The art is great, with folks like Deodato providing some of the best, if a bit traditional art work. I also enjoy how the two books (Avengers and New Avengers) are presented in somewhat chronological order, which makes for a very satisfying read.

Man, this is a lot of book. I've still probably got 2 issues worth of story left in this volume. I've been reading it whenever I have time. It's solid, the artwork is great. The writing is really well done and the way it's building towards the entire secret wars is epic. It's also very heavy as my wife tried to lift it up off of the table and sprained her wrist. That's the only negative I would give it, but it's not enough to take away The Star value that I put on it.

Great book epic story!

I’m not a fan of the Marvel brand but I enjoyed this omnibus, which should tell you something about either Marvel, Jonathan Hickman, or myself.

My husband is very excited!

Very very good condition. I LOVE IT.

Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers run is a masterpiece of imagination and storytelling. It’s remarkable how this genius handles the complexe story he started to tell. The stories are on point, the countless characters are handled true to themselves and the complexe narration is executed in a perfect manner. Definitively one of the greatest storylines Marvel published in the last decade. The Omnibus Edition is perfect as well. And it's really a monster. If you ever should be in a situation to face an intruder – this is the weapon of choice to defend yourself. And this is what books are also for – not just to let you dream, but also to have a pratical use. I’m really happy to preordered it and I can't wait for the next volume.

Jonathan Hickman desenvolveu uma das maiores tramas dos quadrinhos de todos os tempos, levando os Vingadores ao limite em todos os sentidos, e redefinindo todo o Universo Marvel a partir de acontecimentos que culminam nas Guerras Secretas ("Secret Wars"), escrito pelo mesmo autor. Vale a pena procurar pelo trabalhos de Hickman na Image Comics ("East of West" e "The Dying and The Dead").

This comic is the beginning until secret wars, you have betrayals, heroes making sacrifices to save the earth and an incredible script development by Hickman with impressive artists.

Hmmmmmm. How best to describe this book? In one word? "WOW" Yep. That pretty much sums it up. This omnibus collects the first half of hickmans avengers run. And it has some truly epic moments. And damn.... this book is dense, storywise. Hickman really loves world building. He really is creating an epic here. As for the book itself? Sewn binding. No getter loss. Stays open on the first page. Standard marvel omnibus. One thing i love though? This book collects a few different titles like "the avengers" "new avengers" and the "infinity" mini series. And i put into chronological order! Which is awesome. It reads very well as a whole. Unlike the "war of kings ominbus" which was put in order of title series. Now that was just one huge pain to read. Flipping back and forth if you wanted to read it in proper order. So props to marvel for doing this book right! All in all? Buy this book. Like now. Just do it. My only question though? When is volume 2 coming out?????

Part 1 of the Marvel Cosmic War Saga ! Thanks Amazon for Prompt Delivery !!
