    Best comic series of 2010.  Either this or Ultimate Enemy/Mystery/Doom for creating an original and incredible FF story.

    I just don’t care about this series anymore. I know I’m in the minority but I just want to finish the story at this point.

    @Minion: The story should finish being issue #5 of a 5 issue mini.

    love this and I say again – would love to see an ongoing of these 3 characters with this creative. I would buy it.

    This is fun but not the best Avengers book I read. I think New and Academy are better books.

    Interesting that anyone could like a current avengers title more than this book–not disagreeing but I just personally don’t think there is an avengers book currently being published that comes close to this title in sheer awesomeness. 
    In fact, I think it’s kinda incredible that Brightest Day currently has more pulls than this, I would think this would be the best selling book on the stands due to its quality and the fact that “avengers” is in the title–and this is coming from a guy who honestly hasn’t liked the majority of Bendis’s Avengers work.

    Well, it’s a short mini-series. While it will have more lasting impact as it will at least partially repair the relationship between these 3 pillars of Marvel, short minis have a long history of being rapidly forgotten. It is also a bi-monthly short mini. And the third Bendis Avengers available to boot. So no, it doesn’t surprise me it does pull as well as Brightest Day, a bi-weekly Geoff Johns mega-epic with far reaching DC implications. Is Prime a better story? I think so.

    I don’t think you are going to get Davis onto a monthly book, but I would love the adjective-free Avengers to become Prime: a book concentrating on the core three (meaning swap Bucky back out with Steve) with a rotating crew of Avenger extras as needed. Leave Spidey and Wolvie over in New Avengers, where their banter and relatively out-of-place-ness works and improves the book. Just my 2 cents.

    I agree with JimBilly4 on making regular avengers focus on the core 3 with a rotating cast. I also agree that it doesn’t make sense for Wolverine and Spiderman to be in 2 Avengers teams. Just leave them on New Avengers.

    Glad that at least one Avengers mini is wrapping up. What a year to decide to get back into collecting all of the Avengers-related comics. Whew!

    Thought this was kind of weak.

    Have not liked Stark’s characterization throughout the whole mini but did enjoy the first two issues a lot.

    I don’t buy Tony’s change of heart and backpedalling in the final scene.

    Did like the final page though. 2/5

    So sad that this is over.  Great work by all involved, especially the colorist.

    Art was good. Story was as forgettable as it gets.
