Well worth the price! |
All in all, any of the GIT corp collections ("the 40 years of" anyways) are well worth the [...] you pay for them. Any complaints about missing crossovers will apply to ANY comic title. Think about the story lines that jump not only around the X-titles but leapt to The Avengers, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, ect.
I've purchased the 40 years of X-men, Iron Man, Avengers and Spider-Man and love them all. About the only complaint I have is an issue with Adobe having issues with some disc burning software that seems to include a 3rd party PDF reader that will only display the 1960's issues of these GIT corp discs.
You're still getting over 400 comics for really great price, complete with original ads and the ability to print anything you want. Definitely worth the price.
I'm hoping that DC comics will follow suit. |

THE collection to own |
Incredible in nearly every way. Okay - giant sized aren't included, but all else is perfect. This seems to be the set that received the least acclaim - it settled into a somewhat mediocre run during comics' hottest times, and picked up again when most interest was waning. However - it has some of the greatest stories in its core run, and its history seems to be the least reflected upon through re-visitations, etc. and I know that as a collector, I'd even dropped it, but was still collecting West Coast Avengers - YIKES!
Now, we can peruse through its entire set in the comfort of our own cozy chair with a laptop... Okay - I know that doesn't SIT well, but for the price - and even now in its hyper-inflated price ($100 - YIKES!), it is still a bargain.
These comics detail the silver age in its glory. To study the stories, art, slow decline, collapse, and then reforging are amazing. Pair it with the compendium piece, Avengers - The Old Order Changeth! (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UX6TB6) to complete the digital avengers set. It includes the New Avengers set.
In addition, with the Avengers film on the horizon, consider the value of this set becoming increasingly collectible in just a few short years.Avengers - The Old Order Changeth! |

The collection you really want to OWN! |

GIT really did a fine job with these comic collections. Too bad Marvel is now going totally online and won't let anyone have the actual comics in hand anymore. *sigh* Oh, well -- but if you can get it used (or from GIT), go for it. It's definitely worth the money! |

The Mighty Avengers Forever! |
|
I think this is a great collection. I own several other DVD-ROM collections and I consider them well worth the cost. It is really fun reading the old adventures of Capt. America, Vision, Thor, Scarlet Witch and the rest like when I was a kid. Except of course it takes up almost no space, looks great on my laptop screen, and will not go yellow and fade like paper . I very highly recommend this set. 10 Stars!!!! |

Definitely worth the price! |

Everything from 1963 through Disassembled and the first twelve issues of New Avengers! Sadly, only the main Avengers title is included (no Avengers Forever or West Coast Avengers), but still an awesome, awesome collection. Nicely arranged by decade and year, requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to view. |
