So, I am a relatively young comic book reader. I only started reading around, say, 2008. What I have known from the start, however, is that the Avengers is my favorite team in comics. I love everything about it. Unfortunately, I jumped in during Bendis's run, which I am not a fan of, but we aren't going to talk about that. I've always really loved the idea of the old school Avengers, and the way things used to be back during the first volume in the 70's and 80's, even though I haven't read much of it. I've read a lot of articles about the time period and the stories that came out of it, so largely I know what happened, but I want to physically experience it. So I've been collecting Avengers trades for the past few years. Currently I have all five volumes of Kurt Busiek's run, which I absolutely loved. I also have the first Masterworks volume, which collects the first ten issues of the original series, and I have the Korvac Saga, which I also loved. My problem now is, I don't know what to get next- do I go after the big stroylines that everyone says are must reads? Or do I start getting the masterworks collections and keep reading from the beginning to watch it all unfold? I've narrowed down what I want next to three options. The two big storylines I am most anxious to read are the Kree/Skrull War and the Celestial Madonna saga, both of which have been collected in trade and in the Masterwork collections. The other option I was considering was getting Avengers Masterworks volume 6, which is when two of my favorite Avengers, the Black Panther and the Vision, first show up, and it is the first appearance of Ultron.

So, any thoughts and/or advice?
