From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Awesome art! It's mostly been on display on my bookshelf with Iron Man and Captain America action figures posed in front, fighting. Worth every penny."; "This was actually quite enjoyable. As a huge fan of the original Avengers and the 1960's it was nice to see the original stories with a twist. I hope Marvel continues to do this. I would love to see all these classics re-imagined with a fresh take. The artwork was perfect. Brought back memories."; "The Super Hero's Journey is a must-read for both Marvel fans and anyone interested in the power of storytelling. It brings a fresh perspective to the superhero genre, showing that the seemingly simple world of comics can carry profound narrative depth. Whether you're a casual reader or a dedicated comic book scholar, this book will give you new insights into the characters and stories that have captivated audiences for decades."
