I’m actually a bit disappointed to say that I liked this issue quite a bit. I’m disappointed by this because I was planing to drop the title if I didn’t, and this is coming from a dude whose finances/comics buying ratio is skewed a tad much. I feel that this issue settled down somewhat, which is strange to say because it’s still crazy as all heck but the “broken time stream” seems like a more fleshed out concept at least and the actual randomness of the events don’t just feel… too random now that things have slowed somewhat. JR JR’s art still puzzles me on the title and those problems were still present here but it is certainly still quality, just not his best, he tells the story well enough. I am now officially going to have to at least check out the first issue of the next arc before I could consider dropping this title. Avengers Prime is still the top Avengers book in my book, followed by Secret (thanks to this week’s amazing issue of that series) but this was a fun issue which I really enjoyed. Nuts.

Story: 4 - Very Good
Art: 3 - Good
