After what seems like forever, we're back to the main title, with not nearly as many side trips, since the limited series are going to be pretty...limited for the remainder of this Avengers volume.  We start out by checking in on the crew from Avengers: Infinity as they collide with the current Marvel crossover, Maximum Security!  And then former Avengers artist Steve Epting returns to help us move some subplots forward!

Woo hoo!  This week we are interviewing one of my favorite writers....Fabian Nicieza!  We discuss a lot of his early work, which happens to include quite a few Avengers issues, as well as some Thunderbolts and his thoughts on the Avengers in general.  He's a super nice man who was so gracious with his time and we hope you all enjoy the conversation

The end of the miniseries and the end of at least one character in the miniseries! Characters we thought were dead turn out to be alive and other characters who don't die, just fade into oblivion.  Was the ending worth everything that led up to it?

It's random Eternals!  It's the plant Swordsman!  It's the living (?) embodiment of Death!  Face it True Believer: this miniseries has it all!

We're back for more of the Celestial Quest, as things get even weirder and we wonder....is that the real Thanos?

It begins here!  The eight issue Celestial Quest miniseries from epic Avengers scribe Steve Englehart, which surprisingly, features Mantis (who'd thunk it?)!  If you listened to our interview with Tom Brevoort, you already know how we feel about it, but why not find out in detail?

We finish off our discussion with Tim Brevoort, getting more into Volume 3 of the Avengers and all of the miniseries that from early in that run that we've discussed on the show!  As I said last week, Tom Brevoort is a prince of a man, generous with his time and his intimate knowledge of Marvel Comics.  We can't thank him enough and we encourage everyone to check out any title he might be editing, as his instincts are spot on! And check out his writing at The Tom Brevoort Experience – Stuff From the Self-Indulgent World of Tom Brevoort!

If you're a fan of a Marvel comic published in the last few decades that isn't about a mutant, chances are that Tom Brevoort had a hand in it.  He's Marvel's Executive Editor and Senior VP of Publishing and he stewarded the Avengers from Heroes Return to very recently.  We spoke to him for so long that we had to split it into two episodes, and this week we talk about his early time in comics and some of the thinking behind Heroes Return.  

Tom Brevoort is also an incredibly knowledgeable person about comics in general and very generous with his time.  We can't thank him enough for his time!  You can read his writing at The Tom Brevoort Experience – Stuff From the Self-Indulgent World of Tom Brevoort and even though he's now working on books with mutants in them, I'd highly recommend trying them out!  His instincts for what makes good comics are exemplary!  

We're finishing up the Avengers: Infinity miniseries this week, where we finally get to meet the Infinites and set this cosmic team of characters on a path to come back to Earth in time for a line wide crossover!  Lucky them!

We start off an Avengers miniseries that features a great cast of Avengers, with fan favorite Roger Stern in the writer's chair!  The cosmic storyline isn't great but the characterization is top notch!
