Too many characters and the dialogue was pretty boring/not funny.

Read this one out of order. Which is too bad because it kind of fills in the blanks in a kind of a fun way. Though Groot is weird to see here. Rocket is pretty cool though. And there is mention of having a Thor and a Hulk. Which makes the announcement of a different Thor make a little more sense. Which offsets this Hulk making a lot less sense. And Iron Man is now his suit - huh? All this but still a pretty good book, good enough writing and art (except for Hulk) and a good length and not too much Thanos.

This is great fun. The story starts off small with a heist and ramps all the way up to a cosmic level threat to Earth. This is epic-scale wide-screen adventure. We don't need character development because we know all the players. What we require are cool battles, interesting situations, cool dialogue and all-around awesomeness.
Bendis and Bagley deliver all of that.
As I have learned over the past couple months, it is apparently a rare occurrence for stories of this sort to be self-contained. So just the fact this has a complete tale contained between its covers garners it a bonus star.
The art is terrific, nicely supporting the over-the-top hijinks and effortlessly scaling from inside Iron Man's armor to giant spaceships engaged in space battles in outer space.
Bottom line, this book is loads of fun.

Read this a few weeks ago and don't remember a whole lot except that I was annoyed that the Aries zodiac character didn't have a bigger role.

This was apparently designed as the jumping off point into Avengers comix for people who liked the movies. COOL THAT DESCRIBES ME PERFECTLY, THANX MARVEL.
I still don't know wtf is going on out in outer space but I don't think it really matters b/c this has plenty of Tony and Clint being assholes and Hulk smashing stuff and Natasha being awesome so like, I'll keep reading it. For sure.

On the whole, a decent plot, but it very obviously shoehorned in the movie Avengers, plus Guardians of the Galaxy.
To be honest, I don't care about the GotG, and Marvel Studios wanting to make a film about them is not enough of reason for me to care.
But I was not entirely sober when I wrote this review, so there is that, too.

Not bad, but nothing super amazing to write home about either. Mostly read this as a foundation so I could read the next trade in the series.
