I love watching this story play out in the long term, slowly building over years into a grand conclusion. I get the feeling that this will be a series that I'll come back to and reread as a whole many times.

A fun and surprisingly tight time travel story. Nothing particularly inventive or wild, but it has good stakes, good pacing and a good finale. And the structure of the story (it starts with the big team going forward in time, but each jump forward whittles down the team until it's just Captain America) worked really well. Also, while it's very meaningful in the context of Hickman's larger years-long Avengers arc, it also works pretty well as a standalone story. The art from Leinil Francis Yu was pretty great, too.

For the most part, I trust Hickman when he's writing in the Marvel Universe. I was leary of his Fantastic Fouf and FF run when it started, but it really got more interesting as it went on, and by the end I was completely hooked.

With his Avengers run, I'm bored. He's writing The End Of The Marvel Universe, but he keeps having to stop and explain what's going on, and shift the focus to different characters because, well, there's Too Much Going On to care about. The Illuminati erases Cap's memories so they can stop universes colliding while The Builders of the Universe show up to destroy the Earth to keep the universes colliding while Thanos shows up to find his son and gives no shits about the universes colliding while Captain America fights with Iron Man and then goes time travelling because the universes colliding might possibly be a bad thing and The Illuminati are trying to stop the universes colliding which is what Captain America wants but not how he wants to get it done and it's exhausting.

While, technically, the story is moving really quickly, it feels like it's dragging because at the end of every volume of this Avengers series and the New Avengers series and the Avengers World series, we're left pretty much exactly wher we were at the beginning of each volume. Only the very first volume of Hickman's run: [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] actually progressed the story. Since then it's felt time loopy even when it hasn't been time loopy.

Some of the other negative reviews I've read focused on how difficult the story is to follow. And if you're not reading all of the books in the precise order, it definitely is. If you are reading them in the right order, it's easy to follow, but it can read boring if you're not totally devoted to explaining the science in science fiction. If you DO read comic books to nitpick time travel rules and how multiple universe theory works, you might love this book. I don't know. I hate it when a story is so obsessed with getting the science correct that they forget to have fun with the fiction. As such, this volume wasn't for me. But I still have my fingers crossed that this will end up refocusing on the actual destruction of the universes story before it all gets zapped away by Secret Wars.

Jonathan Hickman definitely doesn't problems with high concept stories. Here, we're still talking about the incursions and now what Cap remembers. Its a cool time travel story but it is slightly headache inducing. I think the biggest issue is that after reading six issues nothing changed and I am somewhat hesitant to think of the next four volumes doing the same thing. Leinil Francis Yu's artwork is very good especially looking at some futuristic Avengers. Overall, a very dense piece that won't be for everyone.

I enjoyed this book, although Hickman will follow an extremely similar formula for Powers of X. In this story, Steve confronts Tony and gets a glimpse of what's to come.

Ambitious but hard to follow out of context. Not an independent read.

Think The Avengers plus The Time Machine.

Este volumen hay que leerlo a la vez que el New Avengers, Volume 4: Perfect World porque sino te vas a perder muchas cosas. Dicho esto en ambos volúmenes Hickman relata el acto segundo de de su historia río de las Incursiones. En este volumen vemos todo lo que desencadena cuando el Capitán América descubre lo que han estado haciendo los illuminati y decide ir a muerte a por todos ellos, empezando por Iron Man.

Sorry to differ with the majority of reviewers but I was disappointed. I found this series storyline muddled and the art unexceptional; perhaps it's because I was reading Hegel, Godel and other philosophers/mathematicians around the same time and therefore the 'kitchen-sink' approach to paradox and logic that Hickman applies came off as a hot mess. Was also frustrated that the art was so plain - just finished Deadly Class and was blown away by the layout applied there. Heck, there were sequences in this book where Mister Fantastic went from having a "4" on his chest to not having it in the next frame and then it being back again in the following 2-3, end then gone again. Noticed a fair number of these art typos.

Anywho - not for me.

A little bit better. But still annoying and confusing. And in the end we are to believe that Steve Rogers will make it all right. Well I'm not buying it. Franklin Richards as always was cool. But the random future Avengers were not cool. Hawkeye versus Hawkeye though... Will this series never end?
