Scott's Take: Marvel Tales by J. Michael Straczynski (usually referred to as JMS), Will Robson (Illustrator), Bernard Chang (Illustrator), Elena Casagrande (Illustrator), and Leinil Yu (Cover Art)

 

Marvel Tales by J. Michael Straczynski (usually referred to as JMS), Will Robson (Illustrator), Bernard Chang (Illustrator), Elena Casagrande (Illustrator), and Leinil Yu (Cover Art), is a series of one shots (stand-alone single issue stories) collected here that I read through Marvel Unlimited. Most of these are team ups or vs between two characters except for Spider-Man vs the Sinister Sixteen. Rocket Raccoon and Dr Doom team up, Captain America and Volstagg (Thor’s friend) team up, while there is Ghost Rider vs Galactus, Nick Fury takes on Fing Fang Foom (Space Dragon), and other interesting tales.

 

These are fun interesting stories. Some of which are funny. I enjoyed all of them. My favorite was Rocket and Doom’s team up but The Volstagg, Nick Fury ones made me see the characters in a new light. The Spider-Man was the funniest. The plot in the Spider-man has various heroes like Thor, Strange, more trying to share a nice dinner while villains are eating in the same French Restaurant.

 

Each team up or vs are fun reads that shake things up by putting characters together who usually don’t get to team up except for Hulk and Strange. They team up a lot. I think this is a read worth reading.
