Book Reviews of Avengers: The Initiative, Vol. 1: Basic Training
Book Review: Graphic SF Reader
Summary: 4 Stars
I actually enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would.
The story focuses on a bunch of new recruits of the kid variety to the Initiative program.
You know that things aren't going to go well when you see that Henry Pym, Henry Peter Gyrich, and your superhuman gung-ho drill sergeant type are in charge, and when one of the new kids is a sort of Captain America peak human type who could not have cannon fodder stamped more clearly upon him if it was in orange and pink neon on his forehead.
Therefore, commence mayhem, spying and skullduggery, plus insults.
Justice becomes an interesting character, too. Bizare.
Anyway, well done to Mr. Slott and company for a good job.
