Buy this comic book 2012!

Boom! recently reprinted a six-issue miniseries chronicling some new adventures of The Avengers, the UK show not the Marvel comics. They were written by Grant Morrison and drawn by Ian Gibson, so it was a mini-Judge Dredd reunion. I think they first appeared around 1990.

Anyway I scored those and was a tad pissed with last couple issues because they were off register; means everything (art and lettering) were blurry. I endured since Morrison really nailed the spirit of the show.

Now Boom! is publishing further adventures featuring the UK’s favorite crime-fighting/counter-espionage duo with Mark Waid of Daredevil fame helming the writing duties. I picked up issue #0 due to my thing for Mrs. Peel. I turned to page one, looked over the interior artwork and thought, man this person draws like Steve Bryant. I glanced back at the cover to see the credits and holy crap it was him! I was stoked. Steve nailed down the likenesses of Mrs. Peel and Mr. Steed (Diana Rigg and Patrick McNee circa the mid Sixties respectively)!

Now I can’t wait for the next issue! I also completely endorse this title. If you’re not satisfied, I will give you your money back. The offer is only valid if I actually know you.
