About the same as the first volume, not as good if anything. The Ex Nihilo thing kind of comes back into play here, but with the new hero that has been created it has to be. I really don't like Marvel in space, it just never seems to make a whole lot of sense or read very well on the page. I'd like to see our Avengers take on some Earthly threats again because starting out there's been a lot out in the stars. Great art, okay writing, meh story.
