I loved this book as a kid.

Also, it caused me to develop a nose itch that's lasted twenty years, and is still going strong. Yep.

Neat comic series for pretty much all ages. Great for fans of the latest Marvel "Avengers" films, and cool bits of back-story for those who have read the series for a while. Language isn't too tough for reluctant young readers (save perhaps the odd couple of Norse utterances, but I'm sure some adults would struggle with some of those mouthfuls), and the younger, "teen-aged" characters are a lot more relatable to this audience, too. Amidst the evil plots and fight scenes, there are a lot of good messages, as well: Thor and Odin occasionally exchange musings about the roles and identities that the young warriors grapple with, and Sif is pretty vocal about her male companions undermining her abilities.

Great as standalones or tie-ins to the films or other series.
