Cool. I guess during this time Spiderman is dealing with Spiderverse poo poo and X-men are doing their own thing as always.

So in the Avenger's ongoing solos are they just ignoring incursions or what?
Since the Time Runs Out arc (beginning with Avengers 35 & NA 24), A & NA take place after every other Marvel ongoing.

However, coming up, it looks like some titles will show how their characters react to the final incursion (look for "Last Days" banners):

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

I think the combination of Siege being really bad and Bendis feeling the need to do a less-interesting abridged redux of Dark Avengers like a year later like he was repackaging the original as an OAV really hurt the legacy of Dark Reign.

yeah Dark Avengers was an extremely fun book and it seemed like everyone loved it at the time (that splash page of Sentry decapitating Morgan le Fay was a pretty great "holy poo poo" moment). for me that whole post-Civil War status quo went very strong up until like halfway through Siege. and even then, the post-Siege wrapup issue in Dark Avengers is pretty great.

Hey, so Avengers and New Avengers trades are not so easy to navigate now that I'm trying to fill in my physical collection.

Avengers is 1, 2, 3
New Avengers is just 1

This is where I lose it. Vol 4 & 2 are Infinity, but do they include the Infinity event? I'm probably better off with thisGiant Collection that has everything.

Then we go back to normal numbering, Avengers 5 and 6, New Avengers 3, and 4. Does this bring me up to the Time Runs out trades? There's 3 volumes out now and 1 more to come, if I'm reading Amazon correctly.

Teenage Fansub

If the contents numbering is right, Avengers trade 6 ends on #34 and New Avengers trade 4 ends on #23 and TRO trade #1 pick up from the next numbers of both.

I've been doing Hickman's Avengers in digital singles, so I'm just looking at the numbers on the trades.
Seems there's no reason to get Avengers trade #4 or New Avengers #2 since you can only buy Infinity with the issues they cover included.
Also, Avengers trade #3 only has two issues not covered in the Infinity book? That's a rip.

Dark Reign was fuckin' awesome all around, I thought - though the relative disappointment of Siege does take a bit of the blush off the rose.

Honestly, that's the biggest reason I'm not horribly down on Event Comics - even the ones that are terrible (see: Civil War) have tended, over the past few years, to give us some time with an interesting status quo that the writers can play with. The events themselves might be poo poo, but the past few lovely events have made excellent fertilizer.

Its from Green Lantern Corps: Recharge and it's a great mini series. The following GLC ongoing stays good for a good length of it's run as well.

The latest issue of Batman & Robin is pretty much a perfect single issue as long as you know going in that Damian Wayne has super powers. If you have a son, or just want a happy Batman story, check it out and get the Harry Potter cover. Excellent work by Tomasi and Gleason.

I think it's because Gibbons and Tomasi seemed less, well, up themselves about it than Johns did, if you get my meaning. When they reach Blackest Night, GLC goes all-out and embraces the bizarreness of the concept, while the main GL comic was wallowing in self-importance about how this was a Very Serious Grant Morrison type treatise on the nature of death in comic books (as opposed to superhero zombie gore).

That's how I remember it, anyway.

Tomasi and Gleason's GLC during Blackest Night was fantastic--it really did have a lot of fun with the zombie horde aspect and let loose with a bunch of crazy: Guy rage-chainsawing Kyle, BL Zombie fridge, etc, and man, it was gorgeous from start to finish.

I remember GL being fun during the event, with the Martian Manhunter battle with Flash and the Specter/Paralax fight, and the issue all about Black Mask was an incredible horror comic.
I think it wrapped in with the main story, life entity and that stuff at the end, but they were both fun diversions from the main series.

Forever Evil was a lot like that too. I found the Justice League side-stories enjoyable while the main series was garbage, and Johns wrote them both :shrug:

Johns is hit or miss for me as well. He was amazing on Booster Gold, but I was reading JLI Nu52 and I was kind of digging it until the issue Johns wrote where Booster was being a scheming moron and Guy hated him again, throwing out all the character development they'd both had since their headquarters got bombed.

I think it's still ongoing and as of the most recent issue, Marko does retake the mantle after it's initially given to The Living Monolith

Everyone is disappointed its not Rockslide.

All the other candidates wanted the mantle for their own aspirations of power or to prevent others from controlling it

Rockslide was just like "I'll wreck whatever poo poo you want Cytorrak, cause it'll be AWESOME "
