Do you like super-teams? Is it not enough for you to focus on a core assemblage of heavyweights? Do you want heroes and villains pouring off the pages? Then this volume (by Aaron and various artists) is for you. You get the Avengers (of course), but also 1) the Defenders of the Deep (led by Namor as he fights the surface world), 2) the Winter Guard (the Russian super team), 3) the Squadron Supreme of America, and 4) the Agents of Wakanda (an intel gathering team meant to support the Avengers). Oh, and there's a meeting of international superheroes talking with Black Panther about best steps to combat all the growing problems.
It was too much for me, but I gather Aaron is having a ton of fun.

Wow what a read!
I loved this one as it focuses on Avengers vs Namor after he does something extreme and omg I love the whole framing of the sequence as we see the lord of Atlantis totally take down the Avengers with ease just showing his power and then attacking corporations who would pollute his water source and forming his own team Defenders of the deep, meanwhile Russia makes its new Winter Guard and then its the intersection of these 3 in such an amazing manner, I just loved it!
This is one of those volumes that set up so many things to be explored in future volumes and also I love how it focuses on the new Agents of Wakanda as SHIELD is gone and what they do and who they recruit plus a flashback in Avengers 1 million and what Odin faced and like teases of things to come and I love his interactions with BP and GR, just great stuff and a new dynamic for sure.
Aaron does set up bread crumbs here especially with whats to come and it also has a flashback to GR of Avengers 1 million BC and that was a cool one, I loved the mystery over there and also this volume leading in the next arc of vs Vampires really well, it took some time to read for sure but well worth it and the art was just too damn good! <3!

Not a lot of action ('cept for the beginning) but a ton of pretty cool setup.
Just a lot of fun.
I definitely ship Thor and She-Hulk! :p

É meio que um volume de transição e preparação para o que estar por vir. Como tudo que é do Aaron, é uma delícia de ler.

I wish I could say this was better than the last volume but, it wasn't. The brief moments of Robbie being adorable couldn't make up for all around terrible characterization.
This series reads like Aaron had a plot idea and that's all he cared about. Once again, the writing screams MCU influence and not in a good way. Carol is just here to either be hit on or accused of hitting on other men. Tony's being insulted whether he's present or not (which is incredibly annoying). Cap, again, reads like someone's grandpa.
If you just want a plot and don't care what had to be retconned to get there (Ghost Rider) then you may like this. I actually give a shit about the characterization of five of my favorite characters so I wil definitely be dropping off (again) here.
