New Avengers holds up a lot better, I think, whereas Avengers set so much up but didn’t have time to deliver on a lot of it.
So I’m happy that Hickman is taking his time with X-Men. If he gets the confidence from Marvel that he’s gonna be in the driving seat for years to come, I’ll be happy that the back half doesn’t feel as rushed as Avengers.
That being said, I hope this new X-Men election team stars in its own book written by Hickman, and X-Men proper can remain as this broad focus title.
