NYCC EXCLUSIVE: Bendis & Bagley Reunite for "Avengers Assemble"

I love ya Bendis, but this first issue was very light. I don't even mean the long fight scenes, I mean the whole book didn't really have meat to it. The character interactions, plot setup, etc felt very been-there-done-that.

Yeah there's the "wait till the whole arc is done and THEN judge" thing, but I feel each issue should stand on its own, especially one that's (I'm assuming) designed to be an entry-point for new people in time for the movie.

I might have to trade-wait this.

I felt the same, and at $3.99 on Comixology it's kind of worse since there's no "added value" for that $3.99.

I agree, but mostly because I had just read Avengers finale with Norman. That book was fantastic!!!! Tough standards reading the two consecutively in one sitting.
