In honor of the most anticipated movie of the year, I've decided to look back at the comics that inspired it. It's time for ...
Three Stooges Month!
Wait, don't hit back on your browsers, it's Avengers Month.
In celebration of the upcoming Avengers movie, I'll be reviewing a wide range of Avengers stories here on Collected Editions this month. Stop back each week for a new Avengers review!
And to kick things off, here's a little trivia contest.
Can you guess which books I'll be reviewing, based on the hints below? The first person to guess them all in the comments can tell me what book to review in June (any non-DC trade under $40 not already reviewed at Collected Editions). Here's the hints:
1) A modern and definitive retelling of the Avengers' origins
2) The sequel to my first Avengers review on Collected Editions
3) An instant classic released mere weeks ago
4) The start of a young team with an uncertain future
5) What may be the worst Avengers trade of all time
Happy guessing!
By the way, here's links to some other Avengers reviews from Collected Editions guest reviewers:
* Review: Dark Avengers Vol. 1: Assemble
* Review: Avengers: Under Siege
Thanks Doug. Excelsior!
Dear God! Three Stooges month…NOOOOO!! Oh wait “sigh of relief” Avengers… much better.
ReplyDeleteOk trivia questions, let’s see…
1) Avengers: The Origin
2) Agents of Atlas
3) Avengers: Mythos
4) New Avengers Vol. 1: Breakout
5) Avengers: Search for She-Hulk
So what do you think?
1. Avengers: The Origin
ReplyDelete2. I understand Agents of Atlas followed up (years later, under a completely different creative team) as a result of Avengers Forever, and they originally started as an Avengers team in What If? #9, but I think considering the series a sequel is a bit of a stretch. Or really any other series, for that matter.
3. Secret Avengers: Run the Mission, Don't Get Seen, Save the World.
4. Avengers Academy, Vol. 1 - Permanent Record
5. Heroes Reborn: Avengers. Depending on who you ask, pretty much anything since Busiek could also apply. :P
