As I understand it there are vols 1-4 for Avengers and vols 1-3 for New Avengers. However, I cannot fathom why anyone would get Avengers vol 4 (Infinity issues) and New Avengers vol 2 (Infinity issues). All these issues are included in the Infinity hardcover/upcoming trade paperback. I could understand getting these volumes if there was a separate trade for just the infinity miniseries but there isn't. So you either buy the Avengers/New Avengers TPBs and then the Infinity hardcover meaning you bought the same issues twice OR you just buy the Avengers TPBs and miss out on large chunks of the story (Infinity miniseries). You guys get what I'm saying. I just don't understand who these separate volumes are aimed at. I would think that fans would skip these vols altogether and buy the Infinity HC instead.
Oh, and it's also annoying that Avengers vol 3 has issues 12-17 and the Infinity hardcover has issues 14-17 meaning I have to buy 14-17 twice or miss out on issues 12 and 13.
