This should have been a review of Captain
The Sentry looks like he has to potty
That off my chest, it’s onto Mighty Avengers #1. Don’t laugh. You heard me right. They use the word “mighty” in the title. The only place I ever want to see the word “mighty” is on the wrapper of fast food items fattening enough to put a major artery or a limb out of commission.
The pencils are, actually, Cho’s best to date. His prior work for Marvel was pretty, but had a frustratingly lifeless quality. No more. In Mighty (snort) Avengers #1, the fight scenes are poetry in motion, the cover’s catchy, and even Mole Man looks good. Too bad Frank Cho’s putting his talents to work on a rather odd assortment of heroes…
When you ask a third grader who their favorite superhero is, chances are that most aren’t going to say
Worth the money? If you like these characters, yes. Also if you like Frank Cho.
P.S. When I said I’d had it, I meant it. So long, House of Ideas—make mine Dark Horse.
