About book Avengers, Vol. 1: Avengers World (2013)

I just reread the this issue, since I'm about to start reading the Infinity-event and I must say I enjoyed it maybe more than the first time I read it. The Avengers are going "bigger", that means space. Now I certainly enjoyed the space-series (Annihilation, Guardians of the Galaxy), so this could mean a fresh start for the team. Hickman trows it a lot of new characters , next to the "classic core", and outer-space species ,so it takes time to get to know them and what their role is. To be honest I got a bit tired of B.M.Bendis storylines, they were becoming predictable. Looking forward to the coming of Thanos. That was awesome. Really. Everything blew me away. The art, the story, the dialogue. It was all awesome and you can bet I'm rushing to get my hands on the next volumes.One day, Captain America and Iron Man talk about how they need to get bigger. They set the pieces in place for the day that that call needs to be answered. With the threat here being terraforming aliens and all but one of the Avengers incapacitated, that time is now. Captain Marvel, Cannonball, Sunspot, Falcon, Spiderman, Spiderwoman, Manifold, Wolverine, Hyperion, and a host of other familiar faces answer the call and as they do we learn that the coming threat is much bigger than what it seems.It's a tight story and a very engaging one. The author also handles having all these characters he's working with very well by splitting them up into teams for various tasks and having a section of the book dedicated to each. You're even told up front which heroes will be the protagonists of each section.Another neat tidbit is that there is another language being spoken and it is depicted only by symbols. There is a decoder at the back of the book so you decode all along if you feel like knowing a little bit more than the Avengers do about what's coming.It's a fantastic read and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Meh. It had a few good moments, but on the whole, it barely kept my attention.
