This is one of the more family friendly movies I've watched in a long time. It has similar trends to the plot as "McFarland, USA" does, and like Keven Costner, George Lopez does a good job in his role. It could have had a little more of the Lopez humor, as well as a little more romance between the adult characters for my taste, but then it might have a different overall feel.

The art is fine. The plot is ok. Here's the synopsis at the start of this volume: Thor can't pick up his hammer anymore and is depressed. Odin has returned and he and Freyya (his wife) are struggling with who will lead Asgard. The Frost Giants take Thor's hammer-less-ness as a reason to invade Midgard. A mysterious female (who knows Thor) picks up the hammer and goes to Earth to fight the giants. The dialogue is ok. Both Thor and Odin are a bit too petulant and angry for ancient Gods. They've unlearned the lessons from over time. It's a bit annoying. Jason Aaron doesn't need to diminish the males in order for the new Goddess of Thunder to shine.

Very in-depth look into the making of the movie and brilliant concept art.

THis went over my expectation!! i was surprised how many storyboard sequence they got in the book that was almost exactly how it went in the movie! i'm also happy with all the character design and concept art for the sets. The only reason why i gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is because the lack of Spiderman concept art in this book, perhaps it's becasue the addition of him was late in the production, but if you're looking for some spidey art in this book, i can spoil it for you, there are only 2 and i'ts on the internet already. I'm also surprised how little there was for the final fight scene with iron man vs winter soilder and cap, there are like 4,5 pages of that only without any storyboards and concept art paintings. anyway, i'm very happy with this, and the amazon price is pretty sweet too compare with how it's going for in my local store

I have avidly collected the Marvel Art books since the beginning, and they are indeed a well received reflection of the evolution of the films. This one is no exception, it has plenty of the conceptual stages of the character designs even showing they might have been leaning more towards the Ultimate comic designs at one point which is insightful. But the complete lack of Spiderman conceptual pieces is why I can't give this book a perfect score. I've seen Captain America, I've seen Hawk eye and Scarlet Witch, I've seen more Ironman suits than I can recall from the Ironman 3 art book, but Spiderman barely has a presence in this book. Sure he's included in the big scene pieces and centerfolds, but it's clear that sony still has a strong hand on his reigns. I can only imagine Spiderman's suit could have gone through many stages while they brainstormed the best first impression he left on the MCU. So I suppose I'll have to wait on Spiderman Homecoming to get my fill of suit concepts if they even decided to release an art book.

Ok art, but the story is full of holes. How does a character suddenly doubt himself about something he has been doing for thousands of years? All the male characters are shown to be idiots while one female hero is shown as the only character using her brains and common sense. When you have to dumb down all the other characters to make one shine is not good story telling...

Ive purchased all the Marvel Art Of books, but I had especially high hopes for Doctor Strange. The film was heavily marketed as a psychedelic visual feast in keeping with the character. So I expected amazing artwork and was not disappointed. This is the best art book Marvel has done in some time. Some of the books, like Iron Man and Cap, have become repetitive. I love seeing the new armor appear in the movies, but you can only look at so many iterations in a book before they all run together. Strange is a shot in the arm because so much of the art is pure imagination. There is the usual coverage of costumes, and how well they adapted Stranges, but this art book doesnt rely as heavily on comparisons to the comics. Theres a lot of talk about capturing the trippiness of Ditkos original work, but only a few direct comparisons. The section on the Dark Dimension, and how the director was inspired by a blacklight Doctor Strange poster from the 70s was cool. The best parts of the book for me was how they not only showed alternative production designs, but went into detail on why they weren't chosen. All of the books show a lot of design choices, but readers rarely get why the final design won out. For instance, there are some truly wild ideas included here for what the astral projection would look like. However, they decided to go with something simple because they didn't want the audience to be distracted when characters are having conversations in astral form. Theres a similar section regarding Dormammus influence on the zealots (e.g. the eyes). This book really shows fans how the artwork underlies the production, but also the reverse - how the art is influenced by storytelling requirements and the medium of film. Overall, this is a fantastic installment to the Art Of line. It has the usual high production values (glossy pages, slipcase). The artwork is gorgeous, and the book adds another layer of enjoyment for the film. Highly recommended.

After being beyond impressed after seeing the "Doctor Strange" movie, I couldn't resist pre-ordering this. Encased within a slipcover, the hardcover book details many of the movie's aspects such as character designs, backgrounds, and also has storyboards for one of the topsy-turvy fight scenes. Even the sling rings, which I thought were all the same, turned out to have different designs! It's readily apparent a lot of thought and effort went into crafting Strange's universe. If you enjoyed all the eye candy in the movie, I heartily recommend this book. You can't go wrong.

Loved the movie, it was inspirational, that four young men who where mexicans with their own personal family problems, and the fear that Lorenzo at any moment can be picked up as as an imagrant from Mexico brought to America, living in Arizona, and wanting to join the Army since a boy, and another boy whose father's wish to keep his younger brother out of trouble , and another friend thinking he had no hope for the future are inspired by a subsitute teacher to build a underwater robot to win a prize. You just have to see yourself. Carl Hayden became number one in the Robatics class/ I graduated from Carl Hayden in"71" No matter what or the situation you may be in these kids didn;t let personal matters get in their way.

The art in this book is flat out amazing. It's beautiful to behold (and very "Star Wars"). The story is interesting, but nothing ground shaking. It picks up at the last moments of the Battle of Endor. In The Force Awakens, we are introduced to Poe Dameron, who is described as the best starfighter pilot in the Resistance. This book features Poe's parents (and refers to Poe as a child). His mother was an A-Wing pilot at the Battle of Endor. Poe's father was a commando following General Solo on the moon of Endor, tasked with taking down the shield generator that protects the Death Star II. The Duros pilot L'ulo also appears. He is Shara's (Poe's mother) Flight Leader. Later, L'ulo will fly under her son, Poe Dameron, as a member of Black Squadron. The single-issue story that focuses on C-3PO is also included in this hardback, and the story is a little gem. I smiled when I read it. Remember in The Force Awakens that 3PO appears with a red arm? This story tells how the droid obtained it. It's a good read all around.

Interesting, but a little lacking in scope and direction. A story about Poe's parents fighting alongside each of the heros of the Original Trilogy, soon after the end of Return of the Jedi.

I would give this a two and a half stars, the first arc is a three stern and the second arcs a two star. The first arc, the team coming together is really the only part worth reading. The second arc is just bad, and I would recommend you avoid it. There is a digital book called timely comics all new all different avengers that had the first three issues for 3 bucks. I sickeningly recommend picking that up instead of this. You save money and get to avoid the second arc with poor man's kang. No one in this book is really interesting or well done, said spends way too much time trying to get us to like ms marvel, nova, and spiderman instead of focusing on why this team exists. Instead of just letting them grow on you organically, this book is overloaded with quippy remarks and ms marvel making references to her marvel fandom. The rest of the team has rather lackluster reasons for being there as well. Thor literally just shows up during a fight in the subway for no adequately explained reasons and just kind of stays around. She and Sam Wilson have some kind of slow burning romance developing in the second arc, but by that point I don't care anymore. The art was fine in the first arc, but much like the storytelling fell flat on its face in the second arc. I would not recommend this title to really anyone, except perhaps if you really want to see the new teenage characters being idiots and hate having money.

The chemistry that this group has caught me off guard. I am a big fan of ANAD, but was wondering how these characters would interact. Needless to say, their interactions were fantastic.

I have been meaning to try Marvel Comics' new Epic Collection format, and I finally saw one at a decent price on Amazon, so I picked this one up to see how it compared to both the Essentials and the Masterworks series. The Epic Collections are definitely better than the Essentials, and are on a par with the Masterworks in terms of production values and the amount of material included, at least in this one, featuring Moon Knight. I had been a fan of the character when it was created in the pages of Werewolf By Night, and subscribed to his first series for a year or so, before moving on to other things; I think it was the parody in Cerebus (Moon Roach) that caused me to drop MK and start reading Cerebus regularly instead. The issues reprinted in this volume are handled quite well, feature all of MK's early appearances around the Marvel Universe and the first four issues of his original series. Great reproduction, color, and a massive amount of good comic book reading!

It's a 4/5 stars for the story and 7/5 stars with the art. The colors and the art are phenomenal. Marco Checchetto with the covers for issues 2-4 and the art for the actual story is superb. He..I can't rave about him enough! He alone gets 5 stars. The overlay of images and the colors just draw the reader in. The characters feel the pain of losses after the 2nd Death Star. Shara Bey (Green Four) and Kes Dameron (a Pathfinder-one of the strike team on Endor) share the stage with the Big Three, Chewie, and the droids. The Imperials are still fighting back on and around Endor. I find it a bit strange that the Rebels think that after even twenty days, the Empire would "accept" the fact that Palpatine and the Death Star 2 were destroyed. Even in the GFFA, I know that's not how life works. I knew that Shara and Kes would survive because they were on Yavin IV (I think that's the planet) with their son Poe. I also didn't realize until midway that Poe was 2 by now; I thought we had been seeing the beginning of his conception until the second issue. The Imperials are in chaos at first, with the news of Palpatine's death. Holographic messages though lead them to believe Palpatine is still alive. That is one thing part of the plot that fell flat; this arc could have been fleshed out a lot more. I know there is only so much that can be done with comics, but it also didn't have to be a four-issue subseries. I like that Han, Chewie, and Threepio accompany Kes to take down the Imperials while Shara is Leia's escort to Naboo. I did find it odd that the Naboo fighters are the same, though like that the Queen looks more like Jamilla than Amidala. I love that Leia handwrites letters to families of those who have fallen. Te fourth issue set the stage for Poe's comic, but everything again felt rushed. After the SE series, there are the first issues of "Princess Leia" and then Marvel's 1977 "Star Wars" series.

Girl Thor looks cool verily smashing the hell out of stuff, I wanted to give it a chance but again some guy at Marvel is pandering to PC culture with vague nods to feminism and the virtue of females with no genuine depiction of a female character just a female shaped character that acts exactly like the normal Thor. All with a horrible teasing of who the character really was, in an excruciating your princess is in another castle fashion that reveals nothing, and I mean NOTHING about the character. She is a non entity. It was horrible. I could not finish it. Jason Aaron messed up Iron Fist and he messed up the concept of girl Thor. Shame on him. If you want to read a wonderful depiction of an amazing female hero read Captain Marvel by the Marvelous Kelly Sue DeConnick

This is a reprint of the original Alias run, which started Marvel's M-rated MAX imprint back in 2001. Alias follows Jessica Jones - former low-tier superhero in her life as a private detective. The series is gritty and realistic (at least by superhero comic standards) and brings you to a whole other part of the Marvel universe. Marvel Studios is basing their new Netflix show AKA Jessica Jones off of the entire run, although most of that show will probably be based off Volumes 2-4. This volume is the first of four, and collects 9 issues which introduce Jessica and her life (spoilers: not so great) as a private detective. The two storylines here aren't anything special as far as the overarching plot goes, but the way in which Bendis writes not only Jones but the characters around her help you get a feel for why she's such an interesting and unique character, and one worth a TV show of her own. The writing is great, and the art style is unique and grounded, combining for an unforgettable series.
