If Aaron had committed to his super hero arms race concept, the book would be way better. There's a bunch of cool stuff he came up with, but the need of grandiose storytelling for its own sake is absolutely killing the book. It also doesn't help that the MCU is done with the Avengers team as the center of their universe, at least for now, and the comics division doesn't seem to know what to do with that. The last good Avengers story was No Road Home, after all, and that wasn't even with the main team.
