Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes by Scott Kolins, Joe Casey
3.0
This gets three stars solely because Rick Jones was in much of it and I love him to pieces.
Unfortunately I wasn't really interested in much of this comic beyond Rick's involvement, I liked that it focused on personal details with how the Avengers first started out, but the writer seemed to have an obvious bias for Captain America since his arc and general pleasantness was far better than the other characters.
If you are a person who does like Captain America you'll probably enjoy reading these issues, he is clearly the heart of them and his struggles with post traumatic stress and wanting to achieve the justice he was not able to before is a large focus of the plot.
However, most of the other Avengers hosted a more aggressive personality than I had associated with them previously, which made the series a bit taxing to read.
I would also reccomend to read the original Avengers comics either before or during reading this volume, since some parts of the plot pick up from points in those issues without much background explaination for readers not familiar with them.
