Avengers 5: Uyum Sagla ya da ol by Jonathan Hickman

Surprisingly good. We have actual character development with characters I have heard of before.


Also, Captain America joking about his evil counterpart being a Nazi named Sigmund certainty is funny aneurysm moment by now.

Though this volume begins with a relatively lackluster bunch of stories, the first featuring an Iron Man from the year 3030 and the second featuring a group of evil Avengers from the multiverse, these plots culminate in a surprising twist — Bruce Banner's admission into the Illuminati!

What makes these stories so underwhelming is they do so little to progress the greater plot that has been the forward moving current of Hickman's run. Even worse, there's no character development whatsoever until Banner and Stark's final showdown. In fact, the majority of the action in the volume takes place on A.I.M. island.

This trade is decidedly worse than the volumes preceding it, but the final plot twist is satisfying and reminds fans what is great about this iteration of the Avengers.

While I did enjoy this, I found myself confused and struggling to keep up a lot of the time, despite this being billed as a good entry point for people who haven't been on board for large chunks of the series. Reading other reviews, it seems like the first part of the collection was actually deliberately confusing as it led to a bit of a payoff that, presumably, I would understand more if I were more involved in the comics overall. Ultimately, I think I would have been left very frustrated if it weren't for issue #28, the last of the collection, which was entertaining, engaging, witty, and a lot of fun. If the entire collection had been that way, this would be a five star engagement. Unfortunately, the struggle to follow along just made this volume a bit too much work.
