There is significantly more humor in this issue than the past five issues of Jason Aaron's Mighty Thor This isn't inherently a bad thing, as the humor isn't so overwhelming that it piledrives the tone Plus, what Waititi and the Russo Brothers did with the God of Thunder in Ragnarok and Infinity War was brilliant,[...]

In short, I wasn't a fan of the Draxophone. Avengers #1 cover by Ed McGuinness Win: Avengers #1 Leaves Me Hopeful While Avengers #1 by Jason Aaron and Ed McGuinness wasn't exactly the shattering fresh start for the Avengers for which I hoped, the comic did leave me optimistic as a fan of Earth's Mightiest Heroes[...]

Plus, the opening creative team is made up of Jason Aaron and Ed McGuinness. How is it? It's good It isn't as explosive or exciting as I'd hoped, but it's a solid start and promises an interesting future for the title.
