Pushing the Avengers aside in their own book sours it a bit for me. Let me be clear, if it was like this, I would quite happily buy a six-issue (hell, eight- or ten-issue) series like this. Jonathan Hickman writes great space opera. I could have read many more pages of the Skrulls or the Imperial Guard. Unlike the alien bits in Infinity #1, here it’s intriguing and engaging. I do however find it odd that no one questions this enemy’s name. The Skrulls relate their unification and then the council formulates an attack plan against The Builders. We, along with the Avengers for the most part, are bystanders watching as the great empires of the galaxy come together to face a common foe. Much like Man of Steel was a good movie, but not a very good Superman movie – this was not a very good Avengers comic. Now, just like my review of Infinity #1, I’m going to complain a little, but please keep in mind, this is really a good comic. Join me, after the jump, for my review of Avengers #18. The galaxy’s various empires are uniting against a common enemy, The Builders, and Earth’s Avengers have taken the battle to them. Jonathan Hickman’s mega-epic in the Marvel Universe, Infinity, continues this week in the main, and adjective-less Avengers title.
