Summary: A dated but fun romp through Marvel history
Comment: I became a Marvel zombie in the mid-70's. While I had heard of the Kree-Skrull War many times in the following years, I never had the opportunity to read the epic story that had been originally printed in Avengers #89-97. When Marvel announced some months ago that they were finally going to collect these issues in a trade paperback I pre-ordered the book right away.
Like many 60's and 70's comic book stories, this one's fairly dated. The concerns of the age show through and the overwhelming use of "pseudoscience" by writer Roy Thomas can sometimes be a bit much to take. But all in all, this epic lives up to its billing. It's a starspanning adventure featuring dozens of characters and events that affected the Marvel Universe to this day.
Captain Marvel, the Super Skrull, the Supreme Intelligence, Ronan the Accuser, Rick Jones and many other supporting characters bring this tale to life along with the regular cast members, Captain America, Iron Man, the Vision, Scarlet Witch, Goliath, Quicksilver and Thor. Praise be to editor Tom Brevoort for keeping the original coloring. While it ain't beautiful like the computer-aided coloring that appears in today's comics, it IS part of the original comics and I'm glad they kept it pure.
The Neal Adams-drawn issues of the series are by far the best (#93-96), but the Buscema brothers (Sal and John) fill out the series admirably.
Avengers: Kree Skrull War makes a fine addition to any comic fan's bookshelf.

Summary: Stands the test of time
Comment: With the exception of the much more recent "Avengers Forever" by Kurt Busiek and Carlos Pacheco, this yarn is the pinnacle of Avengers "big" storylines. Marvel's most popular -- and infamous -- interstellar races, the Kree and the Skrulls, are going at it yet again, and this time Earth is caught square in the middle (literally -- it's at the midway point between both empires, although astronomy buffs know this is actually silly!)
The Kree Supreme Intelligence, even though a captive of the malevolent Kree Ronan the Accuser, has used his mental might to maneuver one Rick Jones into his possession. He unlocks Jones' "Destiny Force" (whose effects are played to much greater detail in "Avengers Forever") to ultimately quell the cosmic war and become the rightful Kree ruler again.
Featuring guest stars out the wazoo (Captain Marvel, The Inhumans, Super Skrull), this compilation also showcases one of the greatest artists of all time, Neal Adams, as well as one of the premier scripters, Roy Thomas. This is easily in the top three Avengers stories of all time, if not THE best.
