there’s a certain level of irony in the fact the avengers abandoned carol with her abuser， and then turned around to put her on trial in front of her friends and teammates for her alcoholism。。。 hmm。that aside i think the live kree or die event was very introspective and developmental for carol as a whole。 love the dynamic between her and tony this introduces， as well。

The adventures and villains in this collection are not amazing， but they are solid， the shining fight being against Ultron。 The best part of this is the relationships of the Avengers。 New members struggling to find their place， old members trying to keep it together， past members showing up again in strange ways。 Busiek is very good at writing humanity in superheroes。 And it helps to have George Perez draw most of it。 It's such matter of fact art that is perfect for this volume。 Looking forward The adventures and villains in this collection are not amazing， but they are solid， the shining fight being against Ultron。 The best part of this is the relationships of the Avengers。 New members struggling to find their place， old members trying to keep it together， past members showing up again in strange ways。 Busiek is very good at writing humanity in superheroes。 And it helps to have George Perez draw most of it。 It's such matter of fact art that is perfect for this volume。 Looking forward to the second。 。。。more

What I appreciate most about Busiek， aside from being an incredibly capable writer， is his penchant for braiding his stories into the greater continuity of Marvel's chronology and timeline。 From "Untold Tales of Spider-Man" to the pretty-much-perfect "Marvels" limited series he did with Alex Ross， his respect for marvel's history always solidifies his stories into something substantial and weighty。He continues this braiding in the main run， but more specifically in the absolutely incredible "Ave What I appreciate most about Busiek， aside from being an incredibly capable writer， is his penchant for braiding his stories into the greater continuity of Marvel's chronology and timeline。 From "Untold Tales of Spider-Man" to the pretty-much-perfect "Marvels" limited series he did with Alex Ross， his respect for marvel's history always solidifies his stories into something substantial and weighty。He continues this braiding in the main run， but more specifically in the absolutely incredible "Avengers Forever" 12 issue event that is included in this omnibus。 Prepare to have your avengers knowledge put to the test， as Busiek takes us on a time traveling roller coaster of cosmic proportions。 Just so well done on every level。George Perez and Al Vey and Carlos Pacheco are absolute maniacs of the comic art-form。 Not sure what else to say。 Busiek writes epic scenes， and George Perez and Carlos Pacheco hit it out of the park on essentially every page。 The detail in George Perez' work is nothing short of astounding。At times Busiek's writing style may come off as "over-explanatory"， but it never comes off as pedantic or excessive。 A worthy collection。 。。。more

I enjoyed the energy and excitement Busiek and Perez brought to the stories。 This is a lot fun but the gems are clearly Ultron Unlimited and Avengers Forever。

As much as I love the original run of the first volume， I love the artwork and stories in this Omnibus collection。 It does have the Avengers Forever storyline in it [which I did not read this time around， but I did review it separately and will not review again at this time]， which gives the reader well over thirty issues to read in this compilation。 Overall， I felt it moved at a good pace。 It has incredible art work and good character development。 The insertion of the Avengers Forever storyline As much as I love the original run of the first volume， I love the artwork and stories in this Omnibus collection。 It does have the Avengers Forever storyline in it [which I did not read this time around， but I did review it separately and will not review again at this time]， which gives the reader well over thirty issues to read in this compilation。 Overall， I felt it moved at a good pace。 It has incredible art work and good character development。 The insertion of the Avengers Forever storyline kind of chops of the flow of the series itself; I think they could have gotten by by adding this series after the twenty-six issues [including two annuals and the #0 edition put out by Wizard]。 In fact， I think it would have added to the flow， as the only ones really affected by this storyline were Hank and Jan - the other characters were taken from different time periods and not involved in this 'current iteration' of the Avengers。I think the thing that makes this series so interesting is that not only did it 're-introduce' the Avengers to a world that believed them dead and gone， but it shows the team really struggling to find its place， its groove。 A large part of this is because Captain America， Iron Man， and Thor have personal issues in their respective series that prevent them from focusing on the team as much as they would like。 The team has not practiced together enough to gel together to function as smoothly as Captain America would like。 It is kind of interesting how the team has had trouble working together， because the majority of them have worked well together in the past。 I realize a large part of this is because people change over time and have grown in their talents and abilities， so the former 'unity' will not be there。 It is still an interesting read， because I think the internal tensions and conflicts help build their respective characters。 There are so many phenomenal pictures and lines in this series！ A couple of the scenes I love the most: [1] in the first issue， when Vance Astrovik points out that the breaking up all of the Avengers present into five teams is merely sending each team into a trap; the entire assemblage turns to give him a look of "Duh！" and Vance nearly dies of embarrassment， and [2] the twenty-second issue， where Thor says "Ultron。 We would have words with you。" with the Black Panther， Iron Man， Captain America， and Firestar standing behind him。 It's a beautifully powerful image。Another thing that I love about this series is that even though there it starts out with seven regular members [Cap， Iron Man， Thor， Scarlet Witch， Vision， Warbird， and Hawkeye） and two reserve members [Justice and Firestar]， the team membership is in constant flux throughout the first twenty-three issues and the writers bring in other former members to guest star in the series！ I love it！ It is like getting more bang for your buck！ After the first three issues， some of the guest stars include: the Swordsman and Magda， Photon， Black Knight， Black Panther， Giant-Man， the winsome Wasp， the Beast， the Thunderbolts （view spoiler）[being led by Hawkeye at that point in time （hide spoiler）]， Firebird， the New Warriors， and the Squadron Supreme。 Other guest stars include Silverclaw and Triathalon （view spoiler）[who would go on to become two future members of the Avengers themselves （hide spoiler）]。 Another interesting thing about this series is that the Avengers are having to deal with public opinion and being misrepresented in the press。 As a team， they are so used to having nothing but positive press for so long that they are not used to being portrayed in a negative light。 This is completely unfamiliar ground for some [two] of them; Thor and Captain America do not know how to handle it。 The majority of the others are familiar with the general public turning against them as individuals [Tony Stark， as the head of multinational corporation; Firestar and Wanda， for being mutants; the Vision， for trying to take over the world when he was Chairman of the Avengers; T'Challa， for being both the leader of the wealthiest， strongest African nation on the planet and a foreign national on the team; Simon Williams， for being a former criminal]。 As a team， though， the negative press comes as a shock to them。The negative press helps make for interesting dynamics amongst the Avengers themselves as well as how they interact with the general public [who still seem to love them as individuals] and with the media [considering how negatively the media is presenting them to the public]。 Captain America still has his [unrealistic] expectations/standards for the team， yet is failing the team as its 'Leader'。 The membership is in constant flux as the 'regular members' come and go due to issues in their personal lives。 Wanda has issues as the 'deputy leader' because she can see the problems that Cap cannot see; I especially liked her thoughts about how 'a clipped tone and stern voice won't solve things' when Cap is expressing an opinion to the news media。 The Vision has issues with Simon Williams， and not just because Simon is now sleeping with Wanda （view spoiler）[: the Vision sees himself a as a pale copy of Simon， not realizing how envious Simon is of the Vision's life。 It takes a heart-felt， hard conversation between the two for the Vision to realize this （hide spoiler）]。 What can I say about the artwork？ It was amazing。 It was some of the best artwork I had seen in a while。 I think Perez's work helped make the series。 There were so many pictures I would love to cut out and put in a scrapbook [or frame]， just to thumb through them， they are so good。I will say this much about Avengers Forever: （view spoiler）[Other than maybe trying to be Busiek's attempt to clean up messy threads of the Avengers' overall history， it does not come across as having much of an impact upon the Avengers。 I guess to say 'it has no impact' is not true， because the events at the very end do impact the Earth and how the Earth is viewed amongst the vast number of intergalactic species。 It plays an integral part in the 'next big event' storyline where the Earth is turned into a dumping ground for intergalactic [universal] villains and prisoners。 However， there is no 'true lasting impact' after the story is over。 Other than maybe Hank and Jan， the other characters chosen for this series forget about what transpired， meaning it had no impact in their lives。 Well， it did have an impact upon Rick Jones， as well， in that he was bonded to Mar-Vel's son through the nega-bands （just like he had been to Captain Mar-Vel back in the day） for a period of time。 So the entire series seemed overall pointless， in my opinion。 But that is my opinion。 Perhaps if I were to go back and read it a third time， my opinion will change again [the first time I read the series， I was just shy of 'loving it'] （hide spoiler）]。There are a lot of disparate threads being woven throughout the series - it is a long-running tapestry leading up to the culmination of Busiek's triumphant run。 There are missteps along the way; not every story or addition is 'perfect，' but even the imperfections do not do much to mar the overall narrative。 It is obvious that Busiek has a goal in mind， a final 'act'， when one reads the series as a whole。 I cannot wait to read the next omnibus edition。 。。。more

Meh。 There are a lot of interesting ideas here， but too many characters and too many problems。 Moreover， the characters themselves seem flat。The pacing is so off that some of the climaxes occur off-panel （I'm looking at you， Grim Reaper。） And it seems that Avengers Forever （included here） is a 12-part miniseries solely devoted to explaining a minor continuity goof with regard to the Vision。 Meh。 There are a lot of interesting ideas here， but too many characters and too many problems。 Moreover， the characters themselves seem flat。The pacing is so off that some of the climaxes occur off-panel （I'm looking at you， Grim Reaper。） And it seems that Avengers Forever （included here） is a 12-part miniseries solely devoted to explaining a minor continuity goof with regard to the Vision。 。。。more
