I’m really struggling here. These 2 stars are for art and art alone.

I don’t like Nick Spencer’s writing. I have never liked Nick Spencer’s writing. I can feel his “humor” seeping into the dialogue here and I don’t like it. Everyone sounds the same. I don’t like the way Bruce or Tony are written and Carol sounds nothing like Carol.

In summation: I am underwhelmed and disappointed.

This was a prelude to Infinity so it wasn't really mind blowing. As usual the art is fantastic though and I'm looking forward to getting into the meat of this series.

I am really digging this impending sense of doom. The idea that if Earth is to have any chance the Avengers need to get "bigger". The "Builders" are coming to destroy Earth, but, hey look, there's Thanos (again). Maybe he's just jealous that the Builders are going to be the ones to finally destroy Earth and everyone on it. We'll find out.

On to Infinity!

This book tries to be epic: world shattering powers, outerworldly characters, and a universe spanning catastrophe on the way; however, it feels like the writer was given the task of filling a complete volume without giving any explanation or advancing the plot since the Infinity event wasn't due yet. All in all, this is just panel after panel of incoherent nonsense, and it tries to stand on art alone. At one point they needlessly show Banner turning to the Hulk that doesn't pan out into anything at all, it seems because the Hulk hadn't been shown yet. I am really hoping the Infinity event yields an interesting read since Age of Ultron severely disappointed me, and the build up to Infinity has been too long and too incoherent.

Tiresome. The action is fast but the story is too damn slow. And the characters feel completely random. Except perhaps Bruce Banner, there's almost enough detail there to make him likable. This could be better - hopefully it will eventually be better.

I don’t understand what’s happening anymore and I’m not a big fan of how the characters (mainly Bruce) are written. The art is great, though!

I'm about full up on Prelude. 17 issues into the series and it all feels like setup.
