If You Like the Avengers Here's Your Fill -and Then Some!, May 11 2002
This review is from: The Avengers: The Morgan Conquest (Paperback)
"The Morgan Conquest" may not make you a convert, but any fan of Bronze Age Avengers should appreciate this all-out Avengers-fest. Not as smart as "Avengers Forever" and it does get a bit cramped, but most of the memebers get to strut their stuff and the ending should pull on the nostalgic heart strings of the hardcore fan.If you are of the Renaissance Fair-crowd, the plot (well, the setting really) is an added bonus. It is not spectacular, but it is fun if you happen to like straight ahead action from one of Marvel's premiere teams.

How could any Avengers fan not love this?, May 7 2001
This review is from: The Avengers: The Morgan Conquest (Paperback)
Laugh at Hawkeye's wisecracks, cry for a suffering Scarlet Witch, marvel at the resurrection of a wonderous hero(pun intended)... This book collects the first story arch of the new volume of Avengers comics. All the favorites are here; Iron Man, Thor, Cap, Hawkeye, Vision, Scarlet Witch, and about 30 others. In this story, the Avengers re-draft their team and shortly get thrust into a medieval alternate reality. Where they must do battle with the infamous Morgan to save themselves. Normally, I loathe alternate reality stories, but Busiek really pulls this one off. Perez's goegeous art doesn't hurt either.

Triumph For George Perez, Oct 24 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Avengers: The Morgan Conquest (Paperback)
George Perez gives us definitive Avengers once again. The story incorporates every Avenger. This makes the tale a bit hard to follow and cluttered but it gives Perez a chance to strut his stuff. The story centers around what it means to be an Avenger and which to which heroes being an Avenger is a vital part of their being. With so many heroes in this book, it would have been nice to have added a roster or "roll call" to keep track of all of the heroes (some are very similar: Firestar, Firebird, Warbird, etc). Busiek got better later on with this series as he became more familiar with the characters and hopefully, Marvel will reprint some of the later Avengers stories (Ultron).
