Customer Reviews

Excellent all-ages superhero fun!

When my young son (at the time, age four) started showing an interest in superheroes, I had a problem finding current comic books that I felt comfortable reading to him. Thankfully, the Marvel Adventures line came to the rescue! We started with Marvel Adventures Spider-Man and moved onto the Fantastic Four, and have had a lot of fun with every new digest that is published. The stories are entertaining, with lots of colorful action and healthy dollops of humor; plus, Marvel's writers both tip their hat to and embellish upon the lore of the Marvel Universe in respectful but innovative ways, insuring that long-time comic fans will not be alienated. My only complaints are minor: the digest format makes text-heavy and color-shaded speech/thought balloons occasionally hard to read; and, while billed as "all ages," there is the occasional mild trace of the sexism so sadly prevalent in comics today (e.g., why does Sue Storm revert from the "Invisible Woman" to the "Invisible Girl" after the first few issues of Adventures FF?) But overall, these are top-notch superhero stories you can feel comfortable reading to your own kids and giving as gifts to young relatives and friends. Excelsior!
