@humanrocket: EXACTLY! There was a little with the good Doctor that I enjoyed too, but these last four issues could have been easily condensed into one. Reed Richards could have pulled out his old universe-television... thing out of storage, and, after a brief explanation of what it does, each universe could have had 2 or 3 pages. The ending could have been the discoveries about Black Swan, which honestly felt pretty anti-climatic, and had the follow-up issue delve even more into the Doctor Strange stuff, which we are still waiting to see again.

This has gone from one of my favorite series to one of my most hesitant, if that makes any sense. And I'm really torn as to whether or not I'll be dropping this. I want to see how this all works out next, but at the same time I struggle with the fact that the last 3 months/4 issues has been absolutely disappointing.

I agree, especially with some characters, like Beast, never actually contributing much of anything.

I think what really upsets me here though, and what sent me for such a loop yesterday, was that I had read up to issue 12 prior to yesterday, where there's some strong character development for Black Panther, Namor, and particularly Dr. Strange, all characters who I've grown to really enjoy solely because of this series. So, when reading the next four issues, I was stunned and very let down by how Hickman all of a sudden decided to more or less abandon all of his character development threads and instead focus on these other worlds that you already know the fate of by reading the first few pages. When I read the first one, it was floored by how disappointing the art was, as well as the narrative, but took it as a fluke, a one time thing. Now I see that, unless next month's issue really ups it's game (which the solicit suggests), one of my favorite series has become nothing but fodder for a lot of uninteresting filler issues.

So, I finally caught up with the New Avengers today, reading the last four issues in a row... and I was flabbergasted by how far this series fell. Seriously, what happened? We had such a strong team of characters who were being developed well with a great art style and strong writing, but the last four issues have been mostly bland filler that pretty much ignores the characters who we've grown to care for. Am I alone on feeling this?

I think I'm just trying to validate how I feel about all this, because I cared about this book so much, but now I just feel so let down. Any thoughts?

And, upon posting this, the exact same thing happened, except I didn't try and post it again.

Upon posting a review, I was brought to an error page. I tried to post it again to the same result. When heading back to the main page afterwards, I found that the review posted twice. When I tried to access one of them to delete it, I was brought to the same error page.

For the last few weeks, I have had no means of editing any reviews I post after they are initially posted. Instead, after I edit a piece, when I click the button to confirm the edits, I'm brought to the same page, but the button at the bottom says to post the review rather than edit it. Upon clicking on that, I am infinitely brought back to the same page. Any thoughts/ideas of how to fix this?

Every time I try to access or write a new review, I've been getting the error page. This has been happening since yesterday- why is this? Does anyone have an idea of what's causing this and/or when this may be resolved?

Jeez, they're really stretching for some of these character designs; Quicksilver in particular looks awful, as well as Toad, who I was actually really excited for. Hopefully, Sunspot will turn out well here (he's honestly the only character out of all of these shots that remotely interest me). Also, hasn't it already been stated that the one scene that Rogue is in has been cut from the script, and will only be available after the fact in deleted scenes? Why does she get a cover here then?

This is expected, yes, but I was expecting a few more years with a new wall-crawler before Peter returned. Seriously, Superior Spidey has been, in my opinion, one of Marvel's better offerings. I honestly feel a little gipped of a great series
