Hickman writes a dense storyline that sets up the Infinity event, featuring a number of the Avengers dealing with new threats and taking on new memberships as well. It can be a difficult read at times for those not familiar with his style, but he writes for the long term. And it's so much better than the work done on the Avengers by the previous writer, who, mercifully, has moved off to annoy fans of the X-Men.
This book tries to be epic: world shattering powers, outerworldly characters, and a universe spanning catastrophe on the way; however, it feels like the writer was given the task of filling a complete volume without giving any explanation or advancing the plot since the Infinity event wasn't due yet. All in all, this is just panel after panel of incoherent nonsense, and it tries to stand on art alone. At one point they needlessly show Banner turning to the Hulk that doesn't pan out into anything at all, it seems because the Hulk hadn't been shown yet. I am really hoping the Infinity event yields an interesting read since Age of Ultron severely disappointed me, and the build up to Infinity has been too long and too incoherent.
