Avengers World, Vol. 2: Ascension by Nick Spencer, Al Ewing
3.0
The shifting nature of this title can be a bit much. There are three major storylines, and some side quests in every volume. Each issue within the volume is dedicated to one of the storylines, so you don't get a smooth look into what's happening in the title, you have to get one chunk at a time, and none of the stories resolve within the volume. It's not great.
But the stories, at least, are interesting, and easier to follow than what's going on in Hickman's Avengers and New Avengers books during this period. You have defined characters, fairly small objectives, and a bit of action. And nobody has to stop and explain what the universal ramifications of each action is.
If you enjoy small scale team books by Marvel, I think this series is a good one as a whole, but I certainly wouldn't recommend just reading a single volume of them.
I've included this as part of the HIckman run, even though Hickman didn't write it, because it is running parallel to his story, and he did outline the first volume, and reallys et up these characters journeys.
