Apart from Ghost Rider and She-Hulk there’s nothing new here that hasn’t been done 100s of times in every other assembling the Avengers book.

Other than a few good lines of dialog, this is the weakest thing I've read by Jason Aaron.

Certainly some fun moments, mainly read as part of the Thor Aaron run.

I didn't know this Avengers run involved the Celestials. Well I guess this will be an inspiration for the next phases of the MCU. This volume is just fine but what is actually good here is the latter part with Loki. His actions created a doomsday event but you might infer that he knows, or wishes, that earthling heroes would find a way to win. He seemed to want to right a wrong and he saw this as another way to rebuild the Avengers team.

2.5 but rounded up. The not-quite-Avengers gather together to stop something so ancient and powerful it has killed the cosmic Celestials and is dropping their giant corpses on Earth. Unfortunately, giving heroes large stakes doesn't work to make the story narratively compelling beyond some mecha/kaiju fights.
Loki here is one-note as a villain and his great revelation that humanity is a natural evolving counter measure for giant space bugs (no, sadly not cooler than it sounds) is...lacking in motive. So humanity is a mistake and, what? Space bugs are the superior natural order? You killed the Eternals off page for this?
As a crossover where the entire issue is full of punching, it's perfectly serviceable. But there have been much better Avengers runs for characterization and plot. At least new Ghost Rider Robbie is given something to do.

The artwork is just so awkward and chaotic. I mean, whatever happened to panels?
