this was fair to fine. some of my favourite characters but not in the most engaging stories. some of the art is really good, some isn't for me.
all tie ins so it's not all that important. some character stuff happens but I'd rather re-read the cheung/heinberg runs.

(More like 3.5 stars out of 5 if I’m being honest)
A nice read, not the most captivating one tbh, it felt a bit disorganised but that’s mainly cuz many of the series collected in it were part of huge events. I did also enjoy most of the young avengers presents issues and the Dark Reign saga.

It's mostly a collection of stories that happen during events like the Civil War, Secret Invasion, Dark Reign, or Siege, so it's not very connected.
