Avengers by Jonathan Hickman, Vol. 1 by Jonathan Hickman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Good start

It’s just a good beginning to a new Avengers run. I wouldn’t call it anything more than good. If you’re looking for something better that comes later.

Review: Secret Wars

Secret Wars by Jonathan Hickman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Good idea but falls short

It seemed like a good idea but in the end it fell below its own expectations. This story is just a ton of filler. There are moments within it but nothing of real substance to it. Once the shock of various characters being shown in a new light wears off the rest of the story is flat. The conflict is really just about Dr. Doom being distracted with boredom. Just sitting on a throne is not enough so he lets things get out of control. In the end that’s what cost him everything he tried to do. That’s all there is to this book.

Review: Infinity

Infinity by Jonathan Hickman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

There are many storylines in this book. The end doesn’t make any sense. You have Thanos on one side, Builders on the other, multiverse incursion on a small side and the Illuminate having secrets just because that sounds mysterious. In the end it has moments but everything doesn’t come together. It is one of those must read, big Avengers stories but there are better stories then this one.
