When I found out that George Perez had been put on another Avengers run, I was really looking forward to it. I loved the work he did in the 80's on the Avengers, to this day they are some of my favorite reads. Would my excitement be validated upon reading the first issue, or would this be one of those situations where expectations far exceeded the actual finished product? The cover of issue #1 is excellent and everything you'd hope for. I was curious however, to see if that level of excitement would be soon washed away after getting through the first few pages. After reading through half of issue #1, all expectations were met, and totally exceeded. Not only did the artwork jump off of the page, the story was totally captivating and kept that pace through issues 1-3. There were large window panes on many of the pages highlighting Perez's unique and commanding style. This run is since out of print, but can be found on EBay if you look hard enough. It's a fairly poplular run, so you won't steal this one for a few pennies.. but it's worth picking up. I cannot wait to see ...
