The most dangerous villains of the Marvel Universe break out of 'The Vault' - a prison designed to neutralize their powers. The Avengers arrive...KERRANG! KABLAM! KERPOW! A great "battle issue" that has many unusual fight match ups. Sometimes you just want to read something that is action packed and fast paced - here it is!

Cool art by Ron Lim, didn't care for the story.

[Rick · Rating 1 out of 5]

Ok, not as good as I'd hope. Not very good at all. Rather disappointing actually. Below the bar for a typically average comic. Why this was presented in the graphic novel format is puzzling. It would have been more appropriately a doubled sized (triple sized?) issue. In any case it was disappointing. Ridiculously predictable with unnecessary layers of plot that only detracted from the overall concept.

One of my favorite Avengers stories. It's amazing how much action is packed in this graphic novel, and the art work is phenomenal! A must read for any Avengers fans.

Woooooooow. No.

[Alex Sarll]

Part of Marvel's early nineties run of 'graphic novels' (it's only about the length of three regular issues). You can see why people brought to the form by Moore and Miller were not necessarily wowed by a costumed take on the standard prison riot thriller.

Well above average Avengers story. Nice art and plot. Very recommended

[Alex · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pretty good graphic novel showcasing Spider-Man villain, Venom in the rare spot as an Avengers villain as he leads a breakout of many dangerous villains. Venom isn’t exactly a smart person. Nowhere even close to being as intelligent as Spider-Man, and yet it makes no difference. As powerful as he is it made no difference how much smarter The Avengers and other villains were that tried to usurped Venom as the mastermind. That’s what’s makes Venom such a scary villain overall to face off against. A good fun story to read.

Meh. Good action though.

[Taylor · Rating 3 out of 5]

The story made me frog eye a little bit.

[Devero · Rating 2 out of 5]

Una graphic novel tutta azione, disegnata da Ron Lim su testi di un Fingeroth, che mette in opposizione i Vendicatori con il gruppo di ex criminali ora al servizio del governo USA, Freedom Force, durante un'evasione di massima dal supercarcere del Colorado.
La storia è buona, ma è una storia che poteva semplicemente finire su qualunque serie mensile, non ha nulla che meritasse una graphic novel.

By the numbers heroes in peril.
