This was a lot...
So the world...no the universe, is coming to a end. Everything we know dies. This is truth. This is fact. However, it's all coming too fast and our heroes are trying to stop it. So you know what happened before this, new teams are created. Biggest being Namor going to Thanos and his crew to stop the end of times. However, them going world to world killing everyone isn't doing people favors. IN fact the avengers work together for once, after the New Avengers/Avengers fought and come together to stop them. But what about the other 16 plotlines all happening at once?
Good: I loved the art for most part. Almost every issue is wonderful to look at. I also enjoyed some of the major plotlines like Cap/Iron-man/Thor/Cannonball and a few more. I thought the way they all were coming together was pretty dang interesting.
Bad: It's a lot. Almost TOO much to keep up with. Some plotlines are also less interesting (1616 earth storyline) and kind of hurts the pacing of the entire graphic novel which is very large to begin with. It also ends on a major cliffhanger, which is awesome for Secret Wars, but I can see some people being pissed.
Overall this was probably a little too overstuffed for my taste. I loved some parts, but some parts were a complete bore. So I'll hit it with a solid 3 out of 5, I still think it's worth reading, and while not as strong as Hickman's other Avengers/New Avengers stuff it's still solid as always.
