It's been a while since I read it, but I don't recall it being this bad.
And yes. It was like 2 arcs, 9 issues - if you count the New Invaders 0 issues where he finished up the second arc. Another reason why people rank Austen higher than Aaron is probably because the pain only lasted 9 issues, whereas Aaron has been torturing us for 45 issues with no end in sight.
Namor the Sub-Mariner, Marvel's oldest character, will have been published for 85 years in 2024. So where's my GOOD Namor anniversary ongoing, Marvel?
I am quite aware that fan = fanatic. And collectively, I've met far more measured and rational comic fans than say, sports fans. Fans are enthusiastic and they come to their specific fandom boards to talk about what they like AND what they don't like. It is to be expected.

I loved Hickman's Avengers run. It was full of big ideas.
Do not care for Loeb's work.
I'm sorry. If their 'epic' moment is to hold a fighting tournament for a cosmic force and then give it to a first round loser whose only power is to copy others -- they might want to actually read / watch something epic.
That said, Aaron's IS a good writer. Just look at his independent work. The first couple of arcs of Thor. His early Wolverine work. Some great stuff there. So, I really don't know why he's fumbled so badly on the Avengers.

spoilers:
so it seems like Blade is leaving the Avengers. Looks like they're pulling a "once an avengers, always an avenger" type deal, but looks like his Avengers task is policing the Vampire State away from the main team (which is weird since he's on the cover of the Hulk with the main team).
I have a feeling they'll probably try to launch a Tomb of Dracula series out of this or something(especially with all they've been doing with the vampire state in Wolverine).
Also seems like Aaron wants his main Avengers team to mimic the BC Avengers for issue 50. So we might see Dr. Strange and/or Iron Fist return
This is why I say writers need to get a little more creative and say instead of using Thor they will use Gilgamesh or Blue Marvel....Thor has been around since the beginning and has had every story under the sun told about him....Gilgamesh and Adam give them a character to develop some more.
it was an interesting issue. The two storylines they've been building towards across multiple issues is the Vampire Nation and whatever Mephisto is up to.
I'm not gonna lie they put Blade in a weird position.
The J-man
I always thought it was interesting because Blade was introduced as a temporary Avengers in a rotating slot and they never added him to the introductory panel with the rest of the team. I think with Echo coming in they sent him out, kinda like Dr. Strange and Black Widow. I'm wondering if this wasn't all to set-up another series. His movie is coming out at the end of next year, you'd have to think they'd want one TPB on the stands by the time that comes out.

I am a Marvel fan preferably cosmic storylines, especially Thanos or Dark Phoenix related, when both the Avengers and the X-Men are involved count me in, loved the original Uncanny Avengers series.
Not a fan of any of the new characters.
(Marvel/DC fan for 44+ years)
so what is the story line to follow after Heroes Reborn?
