review 1: I really liked this book! It’s fun and creative in a way that’s become harder to find in the worlds of Marvel and DC. All in all this is really a sci-fi book starring the Avengers, which may sound stupid since a lot of stuff in the Marvel Universe can be considered sci-fi. This book, however, is straight up, hardcore, science fiction. You take out all the Marvel stuff and this book still has one hell of a premise that would make a great sci-fi book. I don’t have much to say about this one beyond “read it”.This book was only four stars instead of five for two reasons. 1)It can be confusing at times, confusing enough to bother me and take me out of the story 2) There were also small details here and there that would take me out of the moment and bug me (these aren'... moret worth listing because they are small and I wouldn't want anyone to suddenly be bothered by them after they read this).
review 2: For all of the high spots (and there are some excellent ones on display) this entire book is smothered with a coating of unpleasantness. While I'm not expecting the heroes that make up the Illuminati to join hands and sing a song of brotherhood, I am weary of what passes for today's storytelling adding a layer of dank baggage to characters such as Namor, the Black Panther, and the long-suffering Tony Stark that makes them, shall we say, less than stellar examples of the world savers and heroic figures they once were. Everything dies, indeed. less

A little too exposition'y at times, but this is a DARK take on the Avengers. Good stuff.

Not quite sure what's going here, but I'll stick with it for now.
