Anyone down on out of touch, morally questionable SHIELD Cap, check out Nova #25. Cap makes Nova a provisional Avenger, it's a pretty touching and nice book.

I would say obviously none of them are dead, but the fact that he was willing to go through with it is what's important here. Over all great issue.

Avengers 40 owned. Don't gently caress with kings. Is Avengers 34.2 any good?

More scandalous is the fact Hickman is pushing his pro-Cat-Beast agenda when obviously Ape-Beast is the better design I mean it's how THE KING made him and who are you to doubt him

If I'm going to start reading Avengers/New Avengers from #1s, can I just read them according to release date or do I need to follow a specific order? I have all the issues up to the Avengers issue that came out today.

I have all the issues up to the Avengers issue that came out today. They go one after the other pretty good up to Infinity which has a specific reading guide within each book involved. Then it goes back to alternating between books I think.

Read New Avengers 1-3, then alternate arcs until infinity were there is a reading order. After infinity alternate arcs until Time Runs Out and alternate issues.

That is really helpful, thanks. I didn't intend to read any crossovers, just the Avengers/New Avengers main titles, but it sounds like Infinity is pretty integral to understanding what is going on. If I skip that, am I going to be totally lost?

You can sort of read the main series and understand it, but trying to read one of the avengers titles by themselves or with the other one will make no sense what so ever.

None of the tie-ins are required reading.

So, the only point of managing a truce with Cap's Avengers was so they wouldn't be in the way? Because they were pretty useless there. I mean, it was all Illuminati and New Avengers. Great issue.

Cap provides a sense of legitimacy that the Illuminati random murder squad doesn't really have. He represents the political system, while Roberto represents the young comic book buying market and the fact cat-beast looks better.

Yeah, I guess having the SHIELD goons on board even if they didn't do anything right there is a necessary step towards rebuilding the Avengers beyond Roberto's awesome teams.

I will say I love how destroyed Namor looks after taking that hit from Black Bolt. That's a good look of shock on his face. Speak of which, I think the tiny text said something like "Tell my brother Maximus for me... FAREWELL". I don't actually own a magnifying glass though.

I love how Hank and Reed are trying to weasel out of their deserved punishments already. "I'll do what I have to do", "I'm prepared for the worst". In other words they're going to run away with their tails between their legs. Namor and T'Challa are the only members of the Illuminati with any form of backbone.

Beast is just gonna clone Dark Beast and blame it all on him, or blame mind control. Yeah that is it, Namor was mind-controlling him.

Is it actually legible on paper? I noticed that through Comixology and extreme zooming but that really looked like lines at first.

Sam and Roberto being "hurt" was the funniest loving thing. Also, Doom is saving Namor (and maybe the rest of the Cabal) since he's going for the Mapmakers.

Holy poo poo the cover should have been BP giving a giant middle finger. And can I add that Iron Man being gone off the board hasn't been a detriment at all. I don't even miss him in the revolving cast of characters.
