Title: Incredibly mixed bag
Review: While there was some excitement about this series, things just didn't go right for most of these. The Ben Dunn penned and illustrated "bookend" stories are lacking in any real imagination in the manga-fication of the Marvel Universe. Plus, the introduction of the ideas is handled in such a rushed fashion that you never get to stop and like a character or absorb the concepts.Some of the individual things worked alright. Lea Hernandez and Peter David score with a fun, kabuki-sytle Punisher. Kaare Andrews' take on Spider-Man is... okay, really. Udon does nifty art for Avengers Assemble, but the story isn't up to much. Same with most of the others.Frankly, there are great Manga and superhero books out there. May I point you to the work of Miyazaki or Mark Millar's Ultimates for entertaining Manga or pure superhero reimagining? This book, overall, is decidedly average.
