August and September are shaping up to be great months for Avengers fans. The prehistoric Avengers will make their debut next month when Marvel Legacy #1 hits comic book stores and this month's Marvel Collector Corps subscribers will get an Avengers themed Funko box! Although the POP!s included in the box focus on older versions of the characters, they don't quite date back to 1,000,000 BC. The "First Appearance Avengers" themed box includes two Silver Aage POP!s, a t-shirt and the badge and pin that we've become accustomed to.
The t-shirt pays homage to the Incredible Hulk's first appearance in 1962's The Incredible Hulk #1 with a POP!ified version of the comic book cover. The POP!s are great throwbacks to the Silver Age of comics with Iron Man and The Vision. The Vision POP! is defnitely the star of the show and you'll want to grab one if you can get your hands on it. The fact that there wasn't a comic included in this month's box is a bit of a let down, but the fact that you get two full-sized POP!s goes a long way towards making up for it.

About The Author:
ComicBookMovie.com and Best Little Sites was the brainchild of Nate and a friend way back in 2002. Nate initially focused on the back-end programming and front-end design, but now manages the company and its associated sites as well, with a LOT of help from some very talented contributors.
Nate has loved comics from a very young age and continues to read them on a regular basis thanks to subscriptions to various titles (both Marvel and DC). He also loves movies, as his wife and children will attest. He's not overly critical of movies, so his reviews should be taken with a grain of salt as he's much more interested in being entertained and escaping the "real" world for a couple of hours than finding every conceivable plot-hole and character flaw in a film.
Outside of his guilty "nerdy" pleasures, Nate enjoys spending time with his wife and three boys, CrossFit, playing guitar, coaching youth sports and MMA (he spent a couple of years in the cage as an NHB fighter, but is now MUCH too old).
