Avengers: Disassembled TPB

This was... alright. Average. So-so. Mediocre. OK.I think the problem is I find the idea of the Scarlet Witch's motivation to be so fundamentally ridiculous. I am not going to go as far as some women and cry sexism (although I really couldn't imagine any of the male heroes acting this way), but I will call it idiotic. And as for how the Witch found out about the deception in the first place... Janet is not that stupid. She tends to be the smart and competent one. ''Letting it slip'' whilst sunbathing and trotting off whilst making feeble excuses is the sort of thing that I would expect from Marge Simpson not the Wasp.I would still recommend this comic though as the death of the Old Avengers really does set the next ten years of Marvel comics in motion.

Great art and a high-octane story that features - what may seem to some - too many catastrophes in too short a space of time. Over the top? I suppose so, but it has to be, in order to justify the huge changes that will lead to - what for money is - a fantastic five year run of Marvel magic. It tries to pay homage to the Avengers long history and shoe-horns in a whole host of the roster, as they try to come to terms, make sense and navigate their way through their darkest hour.I'd advise starting with this book, but without expecting it to make much sense; then rob a bank* to pay for the 'New Avengers' (volumes 1-13); 'Mighty Avengers' (Volumes 1-4); and 'Dark Avengers' (volumes 1-3); and 'House of M', Civil War', 'Secret Invasion' and 'Siege'. That should just about do it. Oh, and maybe 'Secret war' as well.*Don't actually rob a bank.

Not my favourite, I preferred House Of M much more. Still enjoyable.

I've just finished reading this and wasn't sure what to make of it at first as much of the plot is so bleak and traumatic. That said, the ending is so emotionally engaging that I have fallen in love with this story. It has immediately become one of my top few Marvel tales. The journey is hard and the final few pages will both bring you joy and break your heart.The most vital part of telling this story to me was the artwork. Homage to ages of comics gone by are superb and the splash pages towards the end are a genius way to wrap up the story. I have found, in this book, my single favourite page of artwork in any graphic novel or comic book. I don't wish to spoil anything so I'll say only this: watercolour.This was a totally unknown title for me before I stumbled upon it. It is now something I'm sorry it took this long to find. Must have Marvel.

It's a good read but it only leads to bigger and badder things.

You will also need to buy Secret Invasion and House of M to get a lot of the references in this.

Just read the story and decide for yourself, I quite liked this one, think I’ll buy a couple more soon
