    Back in my college years, I read Avengers Forever without knowing all the complex history. But it was all explained well and is where I learned much of that history. I had no trouble understanding the story.

    The good thing about upgrading from my back issues of this run is that it came out when comics at the time were packed with all kinds of inserts, cards, pogs, AOL cds, etc. Drove me nuts, can't wait to get rid of them and get this omni!

    Thanks for the overview of the Avengers by Kurt Busek and George Pérez omnibus, Omar!!!!!!. I feel the sadness that we lost George Pérez and Carlos Pacheco too. I know it hurts. You did very good on the overview, Omar, and the community thanks you! Happy 2023 to you and your family, and all the minties around the world!!

    Mine arrived on Xmas eve, and was so happy to have this.
    I remember reading the floppies and found #3 being one of the hardest to get hold of
    Only pereze can do a super team like this and keep the quality very high, and he designed one the sw gypsy outfit, a fav of mine.
    I do hope we get to see vol 2 in 2023 and I hope that we will see his FF work in omni format as well.
    Comics are not made like this today and i am glad i can reread them again.
    Tha ks for the review. Excellent as usual

    Oooh, this goes through Ultron Unlimited! Nice. I have a few of these in single issues (packed far away) and a good chunk of the book in trades, but I'm getting this. Its probably my only guaranteed Marvel buy between the final Conan omnibus and the first CrossGen Omnibus.

    I am looking forward to this one and put in a pre-order a while back. I picked up a few issues early on of both the the Heroes Return Avengers and Avengers Forever, during the late 90s, but this was just as my waning interest and lack of funds started to hit and I had to make the choice of which to keep buying and which to part with... so now I can go back and revisit where I left off, finally.

    Man, between Busiek loading up the dialog and Perez loading up details and characters in the panels, those pages are DENSE. Looks pretty cool, the colours are unfortunately very late-90s gaudy, but I’m sure this will be great for Avengers superfans. Thanks for the review!

      I think I was about in the same boat at this poiterint, though about a year ahead of you. X-Books were not that good, checked out Heroes Reborn, which, while teenage me loved most of the art, teenage me also realized they weren't that good. And then Heroes Return happened and I gave the Avengers/FF related books a second chance and of all four this was by far my favorite

Generation X was the last X-book standing for me, but after Chris Bachalo left, I was also gone. When I heard about Busiek and Perez coming on board the Avengers, I started picking up a ton of Perez and Stern back issues as well as the Thunderbolts. Great times!

    A great run. The only thing that didn't really work was focusing on second-string heroes like Triathlon and Silverclaw, and villains like Moses Magnum.
    The other title to read is the Heroes Return Thor by Dan Jurgens. The Captain America and Iron Man reboots didn't work, but this was exceptional.

      Vol 1 only finished in 15th place on the 2021 poll. So it might be good to get Vol 2 in the top 20... reprints are never guaranteed even after the first volume gets reprinted. See: Silver Age Thor Vol 2 reprint that hasn't happened.

      @miguellupi8709 Рік тому

      @@edwardmiguez6995 It didn't get high in the top because it sold well enough and people though, like I do, that sales alone would merit the reprint. Marvel looks often enough for the sales numbers, the pool should be for books that need the extra, imo. Unfortunately even adding with George's death and the publicity resulting. And that example, Thor wasn't a very good seller before (but seeing volume 4 coming out, things might have changed, I do need that number 2).

      I’ve never read Hickman’s run, but Busiek and Perez were tasked with fixing a brand that had gone completely off the rails during the early to mid-nineties. Writers such as Bendis, Hickman and others also didn’t have to worry about playing continuity cleanup like Busiek had to at the time. I know that’s not really giving you an answer, but I think it really comes down to if you prefer classic Marvel writing (Busiek) or modern Marvel writing.
