Review of "Stan Lee Presents the Marvel Superheroes Featuring the Hulk, the Avengers, the X-Men and Daredevil," edited by Len Wein and Marv Wolfman


Review of
Stan Lee Presents the Marvel Superheroes Featuring the Hulk, the Avengers, the X-Men and Daredevil, edited by Len Wein and Marv Wolfman ISBN 0671820915

Four out of five stars
 Given the nature of the comics with their explicit visuals, with quality drawing and coloring, creating a story about the characters that is expressed only in text is a complicated and difficult task. In this case, the editors and writers do not completely succeed. There are four stories featuring separate heroes or superhero groups. They are the Avengers, Daredevil, the X-Men and the Incredible Hulk.
 Restricted to textual descriptions of the action and the dialog, the stories do not have the impact of those expressed in comic or graphic novel form. The stories are good, but they do not cause you to fixate over what is going to happen next. Most of the textual descriptions of the action is nowhere close to the power of the visuals and the textual sound effects of comics. Although I must confess that I had a powerful urge to search for the comic form of the stories.
