About this title

Review:

"It's the Avengers' Greatest Hits in this massively oversized and slipcased volume. This is nothing but Avengers greatness featuring Marvel's biggest heroes and comics' biggest names, including Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Roy Thomas, John Buscema, Steve Englehart, Jim Shooter, Roger Stern, John Byrne, Dave Cockrum, George Pérez, Kurt Busiek, Geoff Johns, Olivier Coipel, Brian Michael Bendis, David Finch, Jonathan Hickman, Jerome Opeña, and many others." -- KC Carlson

"Earth's Mightiest Heroes have set the pace for comic books through the years. With Avengers: Age of Ultron coming to theaters in May, now is a good time to look back [at] these previous eras of greatness. To address that need, Marvel is releasing Avengers: The Vibranium Collection, a slipcased hardcover weighing in at a fat 776 pages. All together, these stories showcase the team at its finest, courtesy of many of the field's finest talents. There's a reason the title has endured and this volume makes for a marvelous sampler." -- Bob Greenberger

"This massive collected edition is being released in time for Avengers 2: The Age of Ultron and to no one's surprise features the aforementioned villain. Here's a breakdown of what is so special about this collected edition: First appearance of The Avengers; First [modern] appearance of Captain America; First appearance of The Vision; Battle with The Lethal Legion & Count Nefaria; 'The Bride of Ultron'; 'Siege Of The Avengers Mansion'; 'Celestial Madonna Saga'; 'Ultron Unlimited'; 'Red Zone'; 'Breakout'; 'Avengers World.'" -- Chris Marshall

"This bad boy will make your other hardcover slipcases jealous ... a collection that has some of the best Avengers stories of all time." -- Comicosity.com

"You know who doesn't get enough credit for their huge contributions to the Marvel Universe? Roy Thomas and Roger Stern. Roy built brilliantly, and poetically, on the foundation that Stan, Jack & Steve laid down...and Roger had the Midas touch with just about everything he wrote for Marvel: Spider-Man, Avengers, Hulk, Doc Strange, you name it." -- J.M. DeMatteis

"If you prefer your graphic novels to be as big and fancy as possible, Marvel has an Avengers set for you. The Vibranium Collection includes a number of seminal Avengers stories ranging from the very first issue all the way to Jonathan Hickman's current volume (including stories like "Under Siege" and "Ultron Unlimited"). It's not cheap, but this hardcover promises to showcase these comics at their biggest and best." -- Jesse Schedeen
