Avengers World #18 is a great look back at a gap in the overarching story of Avengers that has been occurring if you are a reader that HAS to know everything that has happened, but for readers who have simply accepted that Roberto bought A.I.M. it doesn't add a whole lot to the overall story Hickman is telling with Time Runs Out. Barbiere's writing is fine, and Checchetto & Mossa's artwork is strong, but this book suffers from being faced with the task of examining a time that I'm not sure I overly cared to see examined. If you enjoyed the look back in issue #17 this will probably be right up your alley. Read Full Review

"Avengers World" #18 is a formality of a label. Instead, this comic could just as easily be called "Incursions and Repercussions" and the effect would be the same. As mentioned previously, the boundaries between "New Avengers," "Avengers" and "Avengers World" are disintegrating, which makes a fine case for Superman-like numbering to guide readers through the labyrinth of Avengers adventures as Incursions begin to give way to the set-up for "Secret Wars." In this case, however, Barbiere and Checchetto give readers a digestible, grippingly-entertaining and easy-to-comprehend chunk of the tale between worlds, as the space between universes gets ever thinner.

I’ll read anything with Sunspot in it, but Starbrand and Nightmask hold this issue back

This series is like a B version of the real Avengers. It's too bad.
