Last issue of Batwoman.
Sorry to hear you're not liking Avengers, Ed. I think Infinity is a better story than BOTA.

[Tragic Angelus]

I guess I'm just not a fan of this whole builders/ex nihlos thing. I feel like that's the only thing the book has done in over a year now. I like the team being 20+ characters, and I've enjoyed the art but I just want a new story. I'll stick with New Avengers, but even that at times feels like its just spinning its wheels on the same story.

[jedispyder]

Infinity has been a bit confusing with the Builders race. I feel like to understand it better, I'd have to read all of Hickman's Avengers again and I really don't want to. It was confusing the first time and had non-connecting stories that made me lose interest.

I used to get excited about reading Avengers and the huge Marvel events, but Infinity is doing nothing at all to me. I see people saying it's the best event ever and I just don't get what's so great about it.

[jedispyder]

Reading about the Builders on the Marvel Database and found this:
When a Gardener raised by an Aleph called Ex Nihilo tried to make Earth sentient, his own creations cataloged the planet as a "failure", and sent a signal to the Builders,[Avengers 14-15] who started heading to this planet in order to destroy it, annihilating and conquering other planets in their path.[Infinity]

What the fuck, have I just not remembered anything at all from Hickman's Avengers? I do not remember any of that from Avengers. I honestly think I may need to re-read all of the damn Avengers issues to make sense of it. This is why I hate double shipping, it seems I occasionally forge to read an issue because they're coming out faster than I can get around to reading them.

[Stocky Boy]

I completely agree with both of you guys.

Reading Hickman's Avengers you get that moment every issue where you don't know where you're going and you can't remember any of the summarised plot points presented to you even though you're pretty confident you haven't missed an issue.
Reading Hickman's Avengers, I feel like I'm reading the 'A' title, but all the action and actual plot advancement is happening in the non-existent 'B' title.
Strangely though, it's a lot more coherent than all other annual big events from Millar, Bendis and Fraction.
