I finished the book a few days ago, but haven't had time to offer any thoughts till today (it's that 'extra hour' of daylight that's given me the time).
I really looked forward to this book, to see Kirby, Adams and Sekowsky, but little did I realize how disjointed the book would seem when those three distinct styles were put in such close proximity to each other. Within the compressed time to read the book, as opposed to the time span covered when the stories first appeared, it was an uneven read. Taken individually, all stories were enjoyable, but put together in one book, it seems to be the visual equivalent of listening to a CD mix of classical, country, doo-wop and heavy metal. Jarring...
Reproduction and presentation were impeccable; beautiful art, great colors and a flawlessly produced book. Thanks Cory and Marvel!
I really enjoyed Sekowsky's art here. JLA was one of my favorite titles as a kid, greatly due to his art, rapidly declining in popularity with me after Dillin and O'Neill took over. Sekowsky had some interesting perspectives in his art, but to me, that's part of the attraction. The Adams work was expectedly terrific. BIG changes in Kirby's art from the Thor back-ups to the AA stories.
Now I need to sit back and be patient a few more weeks till SHIELD 2 arrives.
