The Avengers #11
by Busiek and Perez
Marvel, color, $1.99
rating: Keen
"Earth's Mightiest Corpses" about says it all, I think. A good, solid issue of Avengers, but really not a patch on what goes on in Astro City. I'm beginning to think that Astro City has spoiled me for ordinary, straight-forward super-hero melodrama. I read this issue, I enjoyed it, but none of it really sticks with me. As usual, Perez' art is gorgeous, and Busiek's writing, particularly the diaolog, is spot on, but the thrill just isn't there.
