If you are wanting some one and done stories, you should skip this title.

It seems like this first story is building to somwthing huge, and I am excited to see how things unfold. I have been a Hickman fan since Nightly News, and he does not disappoint on this book. Review 2: This is my favorite Avengers run in quit some time. A new story begins hot on the heels of that, and appears to be bringing back Marvel's New Universe line of comics as the book concludes. Anyway, Earth is in more peril than usual, and only a bigger, badder Avengers team can save it. I'm guessing they reached some sort of agreement with Sax Rohmer's estate, then, because I'd understood that was all that was keeping him out of print. Nice to see Shang Chi back in the Marvel Universe. I've been reading Marvel titles long enough to recognize most of the cast, even if I'm not up to speed on their most recent adventures. There are references to events that happened prior to this book, presumably in Volume 0, or perhaps even Volume -1.

Review 1: When dealing with superheroes at least, the term 'Volume 1' is pretty meaningless.
