That Flash one... Ugh....

DC was telling much better stories before the New52. In fact, I would say I was enjoying their stuff over Marvel by a wide margin. I was excited about the reboot but it was very underwhelming out of the gate. Then the creative teams kept changing and it became clear they had no real plan in place.

Continuing my downer moment...

I'm 10 issues into Hickman's Avengers and I'm a little dissapointied so far. The art has been gorgeous but the story has been paced sooooo slooooow it practically puts me to sleep. My plan was to read 4-5 issues per night to get caught up quickly but I have a hard time making it through 2. There's nuggets there of a bigger grander story so I'm going to stick with it for a bit longer.

This seems like in reaction after years of complaining that Wonder Woman's outfit is to revealing.
Her Original Outfit is Underwear.

So Joker says he doesn't have a plan really?
Ok then how come he decides to give Batman the wrong address for where Rachel and Harvey are as he switches them, and delayed until he got a feeling it would be to late to save both of them.
Also let's sell the crap that he had nothing to do with Harvey's situation when he did to Harvey.
He says Harvey is his Ace up his sleeve meaning he's achieved victory showing that a good man can become as destructive as him while also removing any light citizens of Gotham City had in the Legal System of a District Attorney.

So simply put such utter crap from the Joker he's a damn liar that either believes this bullcrap, or he knows it's bullcrap but will still manipulate others.

Hickman's New Avengers is much better than his Avengers proper. At least the first arc anyway. Knowing the basic premise of Secret Wars is the Marvel proper and Ultimate U collide, makes the opening are more interesting as the Illuminati team of Iron Man, Mr Fantastic, Dr Strange, Beast, Namor, and Black Panther work to prevent Incursions of alternate Earths from colliding with the 616 Earth and destroying both Universes in the process.

I'm at a point where the two titles will start crossing over more as it goes into the Infinity crossover.

Post-Secret Wars Avengers team revealed.

"...it will be comprised of "an" Iron Man (Wireds wording), Sam Wilson Captain America, Thor, Nova, the Vision, Ms. Marvel and the Spider-Man from the Ultimate universe, Miles Morales."

The inclusion of Miles Morales makes me more and more wary that Marvel will push for him to be in the next Spider-Man movie.

So Bendis has decided that time displaced teen Bobby Drake, aka Ice Man, from the All-New X-Men series is gay. Never mind that this totally contradicts adult Bobby's 50 years of established characterization. Apparently every relationship he has had in that time, including a recent stint with Kitty Pryde, has just been a series of beards.

Finished Hickman's Avengers just in time for Secret Wars. So over all the first 1/3 of Avengers proper was very sporadic and kind of hard to follow. New Avengers was solid from the start and the bulk of the real story, which is the build up to Secret Wars, was told in that title. The Infinity crossover was sort of meh as well but Avengers proper did pick up significantly after that. If it weren't for New Avengers being good I would have given the run a 6/10 at beast. Including NA I bumped it up to a 7.5/10.

The two titles basically merged into one for the Time Runs Out story line. One thing that was kind of annoying was the 8 month time jump which skipped Cap's aging and Thor's loss of being worthy story. And there was an unexplained something that happened to Tony Stark. While those kind of details are sometimes fun to explore after time shifts like this, it never really did that which left me wondering what was going on but not inclined enough to look into their individual series.

I was a little disappointed with the finale of Time Runs Out. Instead of wrapping up the series and brining some sort of closure to the run, it just left a giant cliff hanger for Secret Wars #1.

I read them digital collections on Comixology but the tpb order is the same. Only the the last two volumes (Time Runs Out 3 and 4) weren't available yet so I had to get them as singles.

Here is the reading order...

Your Reading Order Guide to Jonathan Hickman's Avengers

I will say it did help having just read Hickman's FF run too. I wouldn't say its mandatory but it does help shine a little extra light on some of the things that happen with Reed Richards and Doom.
