Although it feels a little disconnected -- the TPB is a collection of disparate Avengers stories, rather than any kind of continuous story arc -- this is a great book. It's funny till it's not, serious in the right places, with some great character moments and a great team. Spider-woman and Hulk make a fun pair-up, while I will never get over Captains America and Marvel being friends and drinking kale smoothies for breakfast, or Tony's sweet pep talk for Bruce while he's eating caramel and walnut ice cream. The final story involves the Vision, and it surprised me by linking with Young Avengers and having Vision go to meet one of his sons at the end. Also, I thrilled a little to the scene-setting line: "Outside Wiccan and Hulkling's House". I hope Vision likes his son's boyfriend...I was a little bemused by Clint apparently dating Jessica Drew, but okay. The story with those two and Natasha was pretty cool, though strongly reminiscent of Amazing Spider-man, with the lizard people and all... The art is really good, too; I don't actually remember any of the artists' names from anything else, but the drawings are really clean and clear, the action looks great, the colours are bright and eye-catching without being garish, etc.This volume is worth it for "Hulllllk, make me a sandwich", "hippy peanut butter" and the naked walk to the Baxter Building alone. The rest is extra caramel for Bruce's depressed ice cream breakfast. This one's all over the place -- a 3-issue arc involving Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Spider-Woman (with Captains Marvel & America in the periphery); a 2-issue arc involving Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Spider-Woman; and the Annual, which *kinda* focuses on the Vision, but gives equal space to some dude named Sunturian(?) -- but it's a fun read throughout. DeConnick is a pretty solid writer; it's nice to see Marvel giving her more titles.
What do You think about Avengers Assemble: Science Bros (2013)?
Science Bros! Basically I adore anything KSD writes, so yeah.
