...So how does this differ - if it does - from the MARVEL ADVENTURES line that has been publishing for the last several years ?
Or , FTM , the MARVEL AGE that was publishing before that !!!!!!!!!
Or , for that matter , before THAT one...........
...So , in fact , this - in standard $2.99 comics , not other formats - includes recent-ish past reprints ?
Is this in connection to some very current/recent cartoon series ???????
Well, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes is a current (and very good) series, and the characters & character designs on that cover seem to indicate that this will be the same "continuity." Action Lad and I are enjoying the cartoon, so this might be a good book for him.
...There seem to be different levels , as well as different " series " , of the Adventures titles .
I remember EARTH'S MIGHTIEST HEROES as two?? mini-series a few years back that sort of re-told much of the 60s adventures stories from to-day's viewpoint/interpretation , or am I thinking of another series and EMH was a specific Adventures ? Probably a " General "-marked one?? But not a specific Adventures title .
As I alluded to , in the quite early 00s , Marvel introduced the " Marvel Age " line - this one was very magna-looking and many-if-not-all of the stories were specific , with credits given remakes of old Marvel stories .
Then about the time of the first Alba FF movie , and FF Adventures marked the launch of a different , not the Marvel Age one , " Marvel Adventures , for instance .
The magazine-sized comics of All-Ages stuff Marvel put out afte then , well.........
...( It appears that the " don't try to add much additional content on when you Reply " curse is at work here , so...)...
These magacomics of kid's-level material would have reprinted stories marked as " Marvel Adventures " ones , as well as ones marked " Marvel Age " , with the noticeable differences I pointed out above . Some early " ishes " of these would also reprint mainstream MU SA stories - in NICE bright color and slick paper and large size , too ! - But , :-( , ALAS , those did not ;ast long .
Was all the material that appeared in these magazine-sized anthologies reprints of stories that had already made a 32-pg. appearance . I'm not sure .
I'm sure I'm not the only one. A lot of folks must have been converted after the series ended.
Man of Action is the studio made up of former comic book writers responsible for cartoons such as Ben 10 and Generator Rex. It's a recognizable name to kids and cartoon fans.
...Do you mean that " not quite Adventures " Thor series that your fellow-( ex- ) countryman Roger Langridge wrote , Figs ?
Figserello said:
...In a way , this could turn into that line concerning Adventures series in general (which , from now on , I will use non-capitalized , to refer to " kids' version " lines/titles in general*) that I have meant to post here...And , yo , lo and behold , I declare , on my steed of Might & Goodness , that it HAS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Howeves , Figs , you mean " they found the TPB later and were converted then " ???????????
