A review by brandonadaniels
Avengers World, Vol. 4: Before Time Runs Out by Frank J. Barbiere, Sam Humphries

4.0

Hickman’s Avengers run is one of my favorite runs of all time. That said, I don’t think it’s without its flaws. The Time Runs Out section, the lead up to Secret Wars is some of my favorite stuff, particularly New Avengers, but it also feels very rushed, particularly Avengers. This arc by Frank Barbiere and Marco Checchetto provides some much needed, character focused stories. Barbiere keeps the tone relatively consistent with Spencer and Hickman, and Checchetto’s work is stellar. I still wish there had been more though.

All together this series feels pretty crucial to Hickman’s run. I highly recommend it for anyone doing a reread in the future.
