I don't think billions die screaming between panels in this collection, though at one point aeroplanes drop from the sky and nuclear power plants go pop all over the world, but the Avengers are shown engaged in boring old superhero activities such as saving people from danger, so let's assume nobody dies and everybody lives, though one supposes future volumes will make up for it.

Anywhoo, Thor and the Sentry raise some strange genetically engineered children in a way that is almost but not quite touching. The various crash sites around the world start acting in a fashion that suggests a damaged process and an alien mass murderer gets recruited into the Avengers because bad things are coming and the ends justify the meanies.

I come across as very hard on this series, but I do actually enjoy it. I think.
