    Bendis & Romita Jr. really need a break.

    Slow-paced, and filled with Lego-like drawings; the reasons why I have hated the creative team behind the Avengers; has published yet another uninteresting Avengers book (the X-Men basically work as a plot device here). There's nothing to even spoil here, half the book was already published as a free preview, and the other half is a very predictable evolution of the story, plus, it doesn't feel like round 1, it felt like the first 5 seconds of round 1. Hope the other books with Hickman, Brubaker and Fraction pick the thing up, it should at least be fun to read, not to mention action-packed!

    Well, at least I got a poster and a coaster for free, even if it wasn't an X-Men poster, as I wished.

      Not a great start 0

      StoryA slow pace to this issue allows a little for character development - fine if you are new to these characters - but this has been hyped up to be the greatest Marvel tale ever and for it to live up to that billing the pace and action needs to be coming a lot thicker and a lot faster.ArtA huge disappointment with too many characters having either body or head in disproportion to what they should be. Not Romita's finest hour and certainly not Marvel's.ConclusionI cannot for the life of me unde...
