Genre:

Graphic Novel
Marvel Comics
Why this book:
I’m intrigued by the Preshistoric Avengers.
_________________________________________________
The Feel:
Favorite Character:
May be the best portrayal of Odin in Marvel Comics ever. Maybe.
Least Favorite Character:
Tony Stark in the bar with Cap and Thor. He’s just too...Endgame Robert Downey Jr. and not enough Iron Man.
Odin is an asshole. Nevermind what I said earlier.
Favorite Scene:
Raining dead giant space aliens from orbit.
Favorite Concept:
Odin and the Phoenix. Woof.
Meh / PFFT Moments:
Some of the panels are too busy, crowding the art. Don’t get me wrong. It’s beautiful. For instance, the Ghost Rider panel where you first see his ride. It’s hard to tell what it is. To me, anyway. Loved the reveal when it had more room though.
She-Hulk and Ghost Rider, in the way that this story is fitted together, feel off. Aaron had a Ghost Rider, Hulk, and Black Panther run, so their inclusion makes sense in that aspect. But storywise, Shulkie and Ghost aren’t fitting...yet.
Shitty the way that Tony reacted to Ghost Rider and, then, despite admonishing him about it, the others followed suit.
Missed Opportunity:
Thor and Loki discover that they have an older sibling birthed from Odin and the Phoenix’s relationship.
The Unimind deus ex machina was given a very short page to do it’s deal.
_________________________________________________
Pacing:
Well paced.
Last Page Sound:
Huh?
Things I’d Like to See:
More Prehistoric Avengers and the Odin-Phoenix relationship.
Author Assessment:
Nice stuff.
