The Avengers Kree/Skrull War at times seemed difficult to follow. A lot went on in these books and ultimately turned out as an optimistic vision of the future. I guess things looked better for the future in 1971 or so. I loved the art even Sal Buscema's issues were good and Neal Adams Is always the right book to read. Rick Jones went on and on. Did people like him that much? The thing I like a lot is that the original Avengers joined in and with Neal Adams art!

The title is misleading. There isn't much of a war. In fact there are literally only two panels of hot kree on skrull action. But its the story that matters right? Well, the story isn't too great and the entire story feels disjointed and anti-climatic. The only real saving grace is the art. So if you still want to buy this just make sure you know what your getting. Do not come in expecting any warring between kree, skrull or avengers, or a good story for that matter.

In the aftermath of the Skrulls' "Secret Invasion", the "Kree-Skrull War" bears a second look. Compared to the "Secret Invasion," this book's story is a little compressed--how could a "war" be told in just nine issues? Where are the crossovers and limited series to accompany the event? (Just kidding.) The Fantastic Four, the Inhumans, and Captain Marvel all guest-star here. The dialogue, by Roy Thomas, is dated, but the sense of fun and adventure never gets old. If alien shape-shifters in the form ... Read More

The Avengers are caught in the middle of two warlike alien races that have been going at it a long time, the Kree, and the shapeshifting Skrulls. Captain Marvel is from the Kree race, so it was almost inevitable that he would become involved. This drags the Avengers in with him, as they realise the conflict could endanger their own planet, as well as others.

As a kid, I always recognized Neal Adams as "that good drawer." I was immediately drawn to the realism and dramatic flair of his artwork. He really shines in the story in which Ant-Man explores the Vision's inner workings, a la Fantastic Voyage. As good as he is, though, he's only slightly better than John Buscema. JB's work remains very underrated.
Roy Thomas' storytelling...well, it's hard to be kind. It's not just that it sounds dated (the dialog is atrocious), but it doesn't seem that ... Read More
