Avengers Standoff: Assault On Pleasant Hill Alpha #1 by Nick Spencer, Jesus Saiz
3.0
I have a lot of negative feelings about this comic but I'm going to attempt to be as polite as I can and start with saying that all three stars I rated it are for Rick Jones only and my main grievance is how poorly the tie-ins were planned.
The concept of Pleasant Hill and the ethics surrounding it is interesting but after being dragged in so many directions by multiple writers and their individual series with characters typically not involved with each other, finishing each issue truly felt like a chore. Parts of the story were really enjoyable, but they're barely worth reading when thrown in with all the other messy writing and subplots piled on top of each other.
If characters I cared about hadn't been featured in this event I would not have enjoyed more than a few pages of it, so if you don't really like at least one of the many heroes written into this story please do yourself a favor and elect to read about what happened on Wikipedia or ignore it completely.
