Definitely not the best I've seen, but not horrible either.
And I don't like how Spider-Man looks freaking HUGE in the new TV series. Remember that concept artwork last year that showed him being really muscular and 6 feet tall? That's not Spidey. Hope they changed it.

90's Avengers
90's Avengers, If Marvel had to make the Avengers from just their movie and T.V. properties in the 90's it would have been......odd.

Ron Lim's artwork was at its best when he drew the Infinity War limited series. The Infinity Crusade series was not as well drawn though.

Man, I'm just hoping this doesn't turn into a "Fear itself" crapfest.

Anyway, I recentely found out about a certain character 's fate in "The Avengers!"

I really wish they would use this as Cap's updated costume in the 616 universe. He seriously needs an upgraded look

@teabag decided to keep the FF in their own group. :)
Fantastic Four 90's, Marvel comics movie make for cheap in the 90's

I like that Marvel is making tie-in comics for the movie.

I'm not sure about the cover though. Thor looks much older than Chris Hemsworth and Hawkeye looks weird.

@Bodwulf Those are pretty cool, man. The 90's one would be really interesting.

This site really needs a proper reply system. I hate having to constantly check if anyone has replied to my comments or left comments on my articles. It's very annoying.
