One third of what might be a good storyBy Wonder CilantronCollects New Avengers (2013) 7-12I can't recommend this one, since this is only one third of the Infinity crossover story and really doesn't stand by itself. If Marvel also included Infinity #6, you might almost have a complete story, but I'm only guessing here, since I haven't read the entire crossover yet. I did give this book three stars since the individual issues here are pretty good, both art- and story-wise.If you decide to read the Infinity crossover, get the book linked above instead. Also, read New Avengers, Vol. 1: Everything Dies first, since it sets up the whole Incursion business.The hardback version of this does not have a slip cover.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I would not recommend reading this volume alone. You need the full story found in the Infinity collection.By Matt AndersonCollects New Avengers issues #7-12This volume ties in to Marvel's major event of 2013, Infinity. I would not recommend reading this volume alone. You need the full story found in the Infinity collection. All of these issues are in that collection.Spoiler-free review: This books opens one month after the events of Latveria seen in the previous volume. In the last month, the people of Wakanda and the people of Atlantis have gotten caught up in a war. This leaves T’Challa and Namor unable to work together for the Illuminati.Also, the Avengers logo has the Greek letter Omega around it instead of a simple circle…pretty cool.Again, this volume cannot stand on its own. The issues found in this volume are best read in the Infinity collection. Otherwise, you are not getting the full experienceSpoiler- free review of the Infinity storyline: There is a cosmic threat so big, that all of the Avengers are forced to leave Earth to address it. While in space, a Galactic Council made up of humans, Kree, Skrull, the Brood, the Shi'ar, Annihilus, and other aliens team up to address this seemingly unstoppable enemy. Meanwhile, with the Earth’s mightiest heroes away, Thanos launches a full-scale attack on Earth. He is acting with a purpose, however his goal is a mystery for the first half of the book.Spoiler-filled review:Issue Seven: This issue is setting the stage for future stories. Doom asked Richards and Strange about the battle with the people from the other world, but they denied knowledge of this. Wakanda decided to go to war with Atlantis even though Namor offered a truce. Meanwhile, Reed has built a lot of Antimatter Bombs for future Incursions, although none have happened for 28 days.Issue Eight: Black Bolt is working on something with Maximus, and it is confusing. I’m not sure what is happening, but Medusa doesn’t seem to like it because she slaps Black Bolt. Meanwhile, T’Challa tricks Namor into thinking that peace is an option, while elsewhere Atlantis is attacked. The issue ends with a worldwide invasion by creatures I don’t recognize. Not sure what is happening here. This volume is harder to follow than the last. I wonder if reading Avengers Volume 2 will help some of this to make sense, because I may be experiencing an Infinity tie-in story since that is the name of this volume. I was hoping that it could stand on its own two legs, but it appears that New Avengers is being sucked into the crossover.Issue Nine I turned the page, and there was an in-depth explanation as to what has been happening in the Infinity storyline. I think I should set this book aside for now, and come back to this volume after I read Infinity. That way, I can enjoy that story as a whole, rather than as a small part of this volume. I read the first two issues of this volume directly after finishing my reading of Volume 1 for the second time. As I type this, today is Saturday, March 22, 2014. I’ll be back after reading the Infinity collection.Issue Nine…continued: It is May 4, 2014, and I was finally able to pick up the collection of Infinity. Thanos reviews a stolen memory from Black Bolt’s brain. It is the Illuminati, losing the Infinity Gems. Thanos noticed that all were destroyed except one, which disappeared. He wants that one, and when asked why, he replies that even one Infinity Gem can make you a god. Thanos’ army attacks all the places where the different members of the Illumniati are, and Namor pretends to surrender in order to “admit” where the final Gem is. He then tricks Proxima to send all the armies of Thanos to Wakanda (you know, because he is at war with them). When it seems like things can’t get any worse, the Illuminati’s early warning system in their hands go off. An Incursion is about to take place! Meanwhile, Black Bolt’s mean bother, Maximus, is talking about things like he knows more than he should. Does he know why the Incursions are happening?- Thanos’ team of generals is called the Cull Obsidian (which means Midnight Slaughter). They also go by the Black Order. The members are Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, Black Dwarf, Supergiant, and the Ebony Maw.-Issue Ten: The Illuminati was scattered, but they come together in Black Bolt’s secret hiding place (a pocket dimension, maybe?). It turns out that Black Bolt has discovered Thanos’ true goal for attacking Earth. He is looking for his son, and he plans to kill him. Apparently, the son he wants dead is living amongst the Inhumans, and is between the ages of 16 and 22. All of the members of the Illuminati, except Black Bolt, spread out to find the kid, but Doctor Strange is under the influence of the Ebony Maw. By the end of the book, the Maw has released Strange, but not before finding Thanos’ offspring.Issue Eleven: The issue opens in the wake of the fall of Attilan after the explosion of the Terrigen bomb. Meanwhile, the Illuminati members are preparing to act in light of the latest Incursion, when an Aleph robot from the other universe approaches them. The robot brings them to two beings from the other side, a Builder and an Engineer. These two are joined by beings that look like Ex Nihilo, however they are the color red instead of yellow. Also, instead of an omega sign on their torsos, they have two circles. One of the Ex Nihili notice that something is wrong with Dr. Strange’s mind, and literally shoves his arm into Strange’s head to pull out the outside presence. While attacking Wakanda, and taking over Necropolis, Thanos’ army finds the Illuminati’s antimatter weapons cache. They also find the prison with the alternate Terrax and the Black Swan.The alternate Builder explains that their kind used to be able to travel all through the multiverse until the destruction of their Superflow machine. They then explain that not just one Earth, but all the Earths of the multiverse must be destroyed because Earth is the axis point for the Incursions. The hope is that once all of the Earths are destroyed, the rest of the multiverse will be safe. Reed seems to agree with the idea, so they Illuminati are tasked with destroying their own Earth.-Side Note: The cover of New Avengers Issue #11 is my favorite in the series so far!Issue Twelve: This issue appears in the collection for Infinity, but it comes after the Epilogue. The story starts with T’Challa getting shunned by his Wakandan family and friends because he has been secretly working with their great enemy, Namor. Meanwhile, something mysterious is going on with Black Bolt and Maximus. It sounds like Black Bolt intends to lie about some things. Elsewhere, Dr. Strange plans to use the Blood Bible to stop the Incursions, but it is very dangerous. Back at Necropolis, Beast, Reed, and Tony are meeting with Black Swan about how they should proceed with trying to save the multiverse. She starts naming off all these people and, although we have never heard of them before, it is implied that they are extremely powerful. Comparing Thanos’ might to theirs would be like comparing a dog to a demon.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good story weakened by unnecessary flashback..By JmaynardI like Luke Cage's "New Avengers" team. This group of misfits amazingly works well together and the team banter is entertaining. Here, Dr. Strange officially joins the team, which I was glad to see. I also love that this group is more willing to say it like it is. When Victoria Hand gives everyone their first paycheck as Avengers, Luke tries to refuse them out of misplaced pride. Until Jessica sets him straight - in front of everyone. These two are probably the best part of this series since they really do act like a married couple, with all the ups and downs that entails.This book flips between two missions.
