This like too many of Hickman's storylines is a very slow burn. In fact, it is too slow to bother reading another volume to figure out where all this talk of destroying alternate Earths and universes is going. Too much talking over a big table and not enough action, thank you very much.

This feels like the tip of the iceberg for Hickman "darker, more serious" shenanigans, and sometimes the dialog (which also make this text heavy with lots of panels of talking heads, literally) read like Hickman and not the characters. However, it was engaging enough, for me, especially since I was only reading it as background to some Inhumans stuff read.

The Marvel universe's Illuminati exist to make decisions about the planet that are too big and too dangerous to make publicly. The Avengers exists to take on threats too big for any one hero.
In this story, those are taken to the limit and it makes for every interesting grey areas.
Epting is a great storyteller who both grounds Hickman's big damn weirdness and compliments the complexity of the characters dilemmas with his well observed and drawn facial expressions.
This is big, exciting and dangerous in a way that the Avengers and Illuminati should be.

Wow this was amazing. Quick summary, a bunch of alternate marvel earths are colliding and things are getting screwy in the marvel multiverse. The avengers face an impossible task and must figure out how to stop this from happening again and again. This is a very dark story and exposes more of the darker aspects of some of the most beloved characters in marvel. Also as usual Hickman writes the best Mr. Fantastic. I've heard Hickman tied in all of his stories but to see it firsthand in this book with Reed was awesome. The New Avengers series by Hickman is now on my radar and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this series very soon.

El Run de Hickman en New Avengers/Avengers tiene muy buena pinta con un planteamiento bastante bien pensado, y que contrario a lo habitual está enfocado en el largo plazo, con una guerra de dimensiones en el horizonte y con héroes -nuevamente- no comportándose como tal.

even though i know there are more installments of this run, i feel this should have been longer. just a wee more space to flesh out the characters' reactions and responses better at the end. overall, it was fine
