You have to love when a storyline transcends different titles. It could be fun, but then again it could be a pain in the ass because you have to purchase titles that you may not ordinarily be reading. If you don't, you may miss out on integral pieces of the storyline. I usually don't mind being introduced to titles not on my purchase list. This was the case in 2013 with the Infinity storyline in The Avengers #19. Jonathan Hickman handled this very complicated story in this issue, while Leinil Francis Yu and Sunny Gho were in charge of the process of maintaining a consistent framework among their artwork.
The Avengers were attempting to fend off the Builders out in space which left Earth wide open for the threat of Thanos. Needless to say, others needed to be brought into this situation. This is exactly what Luke Cage has been worried about. Hawkeye, Captain Universe, Abyss, Nightmask, Starbrand, Cannonball, Sunspot and Captain Marvel are all out of commission as they have been captured.
Captain America and Thor are trying to reason with the Galactic Council about a plan of attack. This isn't an easy task considering they really don't know who the enemy is. This mess is exactly why this story needs to cross over into titles such as Infinity, Avengers Assemble, Captain Marvel and Thunderbolts. There aren't many spoilers in this blog because this issue is more setup than action! I love anything having to do with Thanos and the Infinity War in the movies. More issues are needed to be read to get a definitive grip on what's going down here.
