New Avengers, Vol. 4: A Perfect World by Jonathan Hickman
4.0
A large chunk of Hickman's Avengers run hs been wheel-spinning and over-explaining, so this volume, where we get to see two different Incursions (universes colliding), and see the Illuminatis' stories actually progress, is a welcome relief.
Honestly, if you wanted to love Hickman's Avengers run you could pretty much just read [b:New Avengers, Volume 1: Everything Dies|17251112|New Avengers, Volume 1 Everything Dies|Jonathan Hickman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1409500228l/17251112._SY75_.jpg|23840560], [b:Infinity|18513586|Infinity|Jonathan Hickman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1527103514l/18513586._SY75_.jpg|26644776], and this volume, and then die into the Time Runs Out books (which I haven't read yet, and I'm hoping live up to the potential of this book).
This is the promised action movie that the series has teased and failed to deliver on (Infinity, itself, contained a lot of action but it jumped around too much to be compelling). After a long drout in this story, I"m once again excited to see where it goes (it goes to [b:Secret Wars|25066824|Secret Wars|Jonathan Hickman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1455502178l/25066824._SX50_.jpg|44751586], I know, but I'm curious how the characters will get there).
