review 1: Wow! The best comic I've read in years, and among my favorites of all-time. A perfectly constructed story of the "real" world infiltrated by the comic-book world. With equal parts action, nostalgia, horror and hope, Millar creates a story that is fresh yet familiar. Every idea, every beat, every panel works so brilliantly, it is as if all the events within were pre-destined. In the far-flung Marvel Universe, I want to believe that they were.
review 2: So enjoyable although I felt it could have had a longer plot, it only seems to just get started when it’s already ending. The art of the ‘real’ world especially when contrasted with the art of the Marvel world was sharp and well done, the characterization was fun and in keeping with kid movies from the 80s.
... moreI could easily see a retro fill adaption being a huge success. In short, the perfect love note to Marvel comics. less

A nice nostalgic look at the comics I grew up with, but not a particularly deep one.

1985 was pretty good I seem to remember it better than it was once I re-read it.

Sigo alucinando con todas las ideas tan buenas que se le ocurren a Mark Millar.

A perfect summation of what it is to be a comic book fan.
