Publisher's Summary

The fate of the entire Marvel Universe hangs in the balance as Earth's mightiest heroes face their greatest challenge!

Summoned across the stars by the mysterious and unbelievably powerful Beyonder, the Avengers, Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men are set against their deadliest foes on the mysterious planet known as Battleworld - with the winner promised the ultimate prize. But as battle lines are drawn, new alliances are forged, and old enemies clash, one among them is not willing to settle for anything less than godhood. Can even the heroes' combined might prevent Dr. Doom from becoming the most powerful being in the universe?

This GraphicAudio® Production is adapted from the graphic novel by Jim Shooter, Mike Zeck, and Bob Layton.

Perfect for a road-trip with kids

This story (a novelization of a Marvel miniseries of comics) pitting Marvel Superheroes against Marvel Supervillains in a mysterious intergalactic setting is engrossing and entertaining. The unimagineably powerful Beyonder captures characters as diverse as Galactus and The Wasp to pit in a battle with the reward of colossal power and the fulfillment of dreams. Dozens of familiar characters - totally faithful to the personalities depicted in the comics - play out a vivid series of intriguing encounters. Arguments between characters are interspersed with personal crises and pulse-pounding battles. The writing is somewhat sophomoric (e.g. The Thing lamenting the lack of TV; superheroes flirting with each other), but what should we expect from an audio comic book? Alex Irvine clearly writes for fanboys (and packs his interpretation of the story with - perhaps - too many characters), but clearly knows both his audience and his subject matter.

The voice actors are admirable. Every voice is distinct and sounds precisely as one would imagine them... including mimicking the voices of characters presented in the MCU (the reader of Professor Xavier sounds almost exactly like Patrick Stewart). Listeners can immediately recognize Captain America, Spiderman, Wolverine, Hulk, Thor, Dr Doom, Dr Octopus, Magneto, etc. The script contains far too many grunts (e.g. after getting hit with an energy blast), but the dialogue is fun. Listeners can imagine speech bubbles over heads as conversations progress.
The main drawback is that this recording is overproduced. Sound effects and constant background music weaken the presentation somewhat (there are loudly chirping birds on the newly-formed Battleworld for some reason, for example). Additionally, the frequent use of voice modulation makes some performances hard to understand.

All things considered, this clever and exciting story incorporating Marvel's all-stars in a fascinating unprecedented scenario is easily worthy of 6 stars out of 10. It's a great listen for nerds and Marvel comics fans.
