This was kind of fun. The villain was again boring as f*** but I find the new avengers interesting, especially the younger ones.

Reading all the hate for the line-up, I can't help but say: I love the line-up. What I hate is supposed heroes acting like toddlers. The first three issues are actually nice, but then we get through what is basically workplace harassment to "internal conflict" with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. If this is enough to turn these people against each other, I wouldn't trust them with running a petting zoo, let alone their own superhero team.

All-new all-different avengers certainly delivers on that premise but falls a bit short on the execution. Characters feel off (such as all the bickering between Ms. Marvel and Nova) and there is just a meanness to them that is otherwise never there. It's reminiscent of Silver Age comics in its attempt to misrepresent actions within the comics on the cover and as the opening page of an issue. Which isn't a bad technique for drawing in readers and making them wonder what's going on, but it's just not handled well here.
Unfortunately the best part of this first volume are the covers. Alex Ross paints these beautiful photo realistic covers and they really are the highlight of the volume. Although the opening story from Avengers #0 was the most solid part of the story. It was brief, sure, but it carried emotional weight and was just the right length to tell a compelling story. It's just a shame that the rest of the volume was paced so unevenly with a bland bland villain. At times we're rushing through the story and fly right past good moments and other times we're stuck reading dull moments attempting to be character building but instead coming off as out of place. But in the end I'm glad I read this. It's not bad just uneven at times and just needed a solid premise to start it off. Due to the blandness of the villain, the inconsistent characters and pacing, ANADA needs to do a bit of soul searching and I think a couple done in one issues could really help it there to set the next volume on a better track.

3.5* although this took me a little while to get into, I ended up really enjoying this. I found myself a little lost at times, due to not having read the comics explaining the events leading up to this story but once I found my feet, it was a really fun read. Ms Marvel is always a winner in my eyes, so this was no different but I'm totally new to Nova as a character and he's such a cutie?! I'm also even more excited to pick up Miles Morales' comics, after meeting his character in this. I'm looking forward to continuing with this run and I'm hoping for some more Avengers/X-Men shade because that somehow never gets boring...
