I thought they already showed that and it was called "The Winged Avenger"

I bet the comic will tie in the The Winged Avenger--assuming they get someone who knows The Avengers to write it.

I forgot this came out
I came across them at my local comic book shop
It's a mixed result. 6 part mini-series
Best part is the cover art that manages to meld the fun of the 2 different worlds. The artist gets both series
the actual comic is another matter. The story overall is adequate. The writer clearly has the tone and feel of the batman tv characters down very well. However he doesn't have a good grasp on Steed and Mrs Peel.
He's not able to reproduce their chemistry, their wit or their banter. Batman and Robin dominate the story a little too much. We don't get to see the strengths of our British agents as much as they ought to. The writer conveniently forgets that Emma is a trained scientist
not horrid just a little disappointing |

The only thing good about this it it will play with peoples' minds that DC now have The Avengers as well.

I really enjoyed this series! Overall, the art work was pretty decent, (Steed did not look 80 years old as other comics have made him look), the storyline was not bad--who doesn't like Cybernauts?--the energy was fun.
I was also delighted that someone thought to combine The Avengers with Batman and Robin. It keeps the memory of the Avengers alive.

Thanks for the alert! On the US Amazon it's only $13.50 (10 pounds-ish) and it was $20.50 at ebay, so US Amazon is cheaper.

| Thanks. i nearly put the link for Amazon US on there as well. But just put amazon UK-really just to let people know it was out. i actually got it for £10 from ebay UK which is approx. same as Amazon US. For those in other countries the price will, of course, vary too. Always worth searching around for best price, wherever you are! |

I bought the first of these when it was published but didn't seek out the others.
However I was browsing the shelves in Forbidden Planet this afternoon and discovered it is now available complete as a hardback.
The price of 23 GBP was too rich for me I'm afraid although I see it can be had cheaper from online sellers.
