haha I stopped in the middle of children's crusade to read this and I should've read this before house of m but it's FINE,,, this story didn't have this long drawn out plot, everything happened super fast but I feel like it was good to see some of the history surrounding the avengers and highlighting their top moments, I haven't read all those stories but it still kind of made me feel a little emotional!

This is so bad. Not as bad as [b:Avengers Disassembled: Iron Man|752075|Avengers Disassembled Iron Man|Mark Ricketts|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178040891s/752075.jpg|738207], perhaps, but really really bad nonetheless.
A bunch of different people and/or things attack the Avengers, one after another. Everyone who has ever been an Avenger shows up and bands together, while the rest of the world is suddenly disenchanted with the Avengers because Tony, acting under a mysterious compulsion, called out the Latverian ambassador for being Latverian whilst he was addressing the UN.
All of this turns out to be because the Scarlet Witch is pitching an epic chaos magical hissyfit. It turns out that if a woman is so distraught by her infertility that she magics a pair of children into existence, it is not an adequate therapeutic protocol to magic them back out of existence, wipe her memory, and then hope that none of this ever comes up again. I know, right? Magical DSM should have been more specific.
There is a flashback/reprint of when Wanda and Pietro joined the Avengers: colorful, carefree days when no one realized that in the future, they could be written by Michael Bendis. Then all the Avengers reminisce for pages about their best Avenging memories. Ultimately, though, Tony says he has to shut the whole show down, because he's completely broke. Whoops.

This is one of marvel's most interesting storylines and also the best avengers storyline I've read so far. An excellent read, with wonderful art and masterful characterisation of well-beloved characters.

I read this because I have started watching WandaVision. This storyline is EPIC and so so sad. But also a must read.

Decent modern comics arc.
Though, I get the feeling that Bendis's psyche may have been projecting itself onto the Scarlet Witch, since both Wanda and Bendis have recently gone batshit insane and have both seemingly lost touch with reality.
Oh well...it was still a nice enough tie-up/send-off.
On to House of M, perhaps?

I had no idea this even existed until I found it as an eBook for free! I'm a fan of the Avengers and I enjoyed the story line. The artwork is well done. I feel like I'm going to need to start from the beginning to really understand who the characters are and their back stories. All the more reason to buy.
