While I was not expecting more Season One books, after last years batch, I was pleased when I learned that there would be – at least a few – more this year. So I found myself waiting with great anticipation and curiously as my chance to read Avengers: Season One grew closer.
However with this one, I was not sure what to expect or hope for; the avengers don’t really have a shared Origin as individual’s, but their team most certainly does have one. But how could and how would one go about retelling, modernizing the classic tale, and give a feeling of the early Avenger’s. I really had no idea what to expect.
In fact, this one is much like the Hulk: Season One and Doctor Strange: Season One. as opposed to Fantastic Four’s and the X-men’s season one titles; in that it’s not so much a retelling of classic stories, or even a filling of the gap’s between those early issues, as it is a new adventure worked into (and likely inspired by) one or more of the early issues.
