Avengers Standoff: Assault On Pleasant Hill Alpha #1 by Nick Spencer, Jesus Saiz

3.0

Fun, and brings together much of what I love about the Marvel Universe together in one volume. This was the stage prep for the Secret Empire stuff, and so they had to get their ducks in a row and establish everyone's motivations, and they did that with this story. Suffers from a lot of the jumbled continuity of 'event' stories that cross from one title to another and back again, but the art and storytelling are easy enough to assimilate that this more or less works, like re-assembling a puzzle. Not crucial reading, but interesting.
