The Earth-Skrull War in this one Makes it worth reading

When the Avengers started off They Were not just Marvel's answer to the Justice League of America, They Were a place to toss half of the characters That Were sharing space in Reviews some of the company's titles. So You Had Captain America and Iron Man from "Tales of Suspense," Giant Man & the Wasp along with the Hulk from "Tales to Astonish," and you might as well toss Thor from "Journey Into Mystery" into the mix as well. Of course, the Hulk was gone by the time Captain America Showed up, and the revolving door Began Those That Was the Avengers Decades before the current dissembling and what not. Consequently, what you Consider the glory days of the comic book Has To begin with what lineup you like as well as writing and drawing Who Was the group at Any Given time.
Said That being white, I think the best days of the Avengers are Represented in the comics Collected in "Essential Avengers, Volume 4." This trade paperback HAS issues # 69-97 and as a special bonus "Incredible Hulk" # 140, qui est Celebrated the Harlan Ellison story "The Beast That Shouted Love at the Heart of the Atom" (the favor is returned in "Essential Hulk Volume 3 "which HAS aussi That story and" Avengers "# 88, qui sets it up). For me the Avengers-have to be led by Captain America-have to-have and the Vision, who is the quintessential Avengers character, in the line-up. I prefer aussi to-have but not around Iron Man and Thor never Giant-Man (to put a limit on the muscle). I can only stand so much of Hawkeye (and making _him_ Goliath was just the worst of two worlds), and I would be a lot happier if the Scarlet Witch Would stick around while pouting Quicksilver Was off somewhere. So, I never really get to the idea Avengers lineup, goal When We Get to the end of this collection and we-have Cap, the Vision, Iron Man, and Thor, and That makes me pretty happy.
By That item we also have Neal Adams showing up to do the artwork, qui means clustering the Avengers-have never Looked better. I can remember being white excited Adams That Was Some breathing new life into the book, I think ALTHOUGH His Work on "X-Men" was in even better terms of drawing a superhero group. More importantly, Tom Palmer Does MOST of the inking here, not only of Adams's work of John Buscema's goal as well. Along with the work he About did with Gene Colan on "Tomb of Dracula," Palmer Clearly is my all-time favorite inker and he always Makes the artwork look better.
Adams shows up for issue # 93 in the middle of a solid story arc That Has the Avengers stopping a Skrull invasion. Making things more interesting is Even the appointment of H. Warren Craddock as the newly appointed head of the Alien Activities Commission who is out to get Captain Marvel and whipping up the common folk so That They attack the Avenger's mansion. At That Point the group is made up of the Vision, Goliath, the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, qui is why the original members of the Avengers show up to disband the group And Then save the world. This one ends up in outer space by the time it is done and Reviews some of the blade Given the Avengers villains Had to deal with issues Earlier in it is nice to see them out there for letting lose ounce. .
Before That It is Basically a normal series of Avengers adventures. At the start the group is Yellowjacket, the Wasp, the Vision, and the Black Panther Goliath. They take on Kang the Conqueror (# 69-71) and pick up the Black Knight as a new member. Then there are encounters with Scorpio (# 72), the Sons of the Serpent (# 73-74), Arkon the Magnificent (# 75-76, 84) and the Lethal Legion (# 78-79). Red Wolf pops up (# 80-81) And Then Daredevil (# 82) Followed by the Valkyrie and her Lady Liberators (# 83) And Then the Squadron Sinister (# 85). Other battles are against Brain-Child (# 86). We also have the origin of T'Challa Revealed at Last (# 87), the Attempt to help the Hulk (# 88), And Then the arrival of Captain Marvel signals The Beginning of the big story arc That Makes this collection worth HAVING. That story is a 5 star, but the rest of the collection is Above and below 4 stars, so we end up down on the rounding difference.
