If this is not the best volume of Avengers Assemble, it is certainly one of the best if you are interested in action. Clearly, the action in this collection is varied, and involving an extended cast of Marvel favorites from the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, the X-Men, The Thunderbolts, the Shiar empire, Ego the living planet, the Silver Surfer, the Grim Reaper, Kang the Conqueror and Ultron to name a few...
Most of the stories of this volume involve multiple title crossovers, and few of the other series are included, or this would be a much larger volume. However, it would seem that the plot of these stories suffers little from the lack of crossover titles included, since these storylines have their conclusions in the Avengers books. It might have been nice, for the sake of completeness, to have the other titles included, but for whatever reason, that didn't happen. Still, I found the stories were long enough to grab your interest, and complete enough to be understood, and gratifying enough to include cameo or better roles from a myriad of characters.
This volume includes the reappearance of Hell Cat, which starts off down a seemingly hokey path, only to turn a much more dramatic conclusion. I was really stunned on this one, and perhaps this volume is worth the purchase for this one story.
The one downside to the stories is that they leave numerous "loose ends" hanging around, with not only the "bad guys" getting away, but mysterious plots and developments totally unexplained, and shelved until later. This is quite unsatisfying in a way.
Another potential turnoff is the change in artistry which seems to occur every other issue. The art is overall quite good in this volume, however, but it is a bit of a challenge to adapt to all the changes in style. And, there is a few unexplained changes in costume for iron man, wasp, and goliath/yellow jacket. The changes in costume for goliath into the orange jacket makes the split hank pym story line even more confusing.
Overall, this volume was a delight to read. The ultron arc in this volume was not quite as good as in volume 3, surprisingly enough it proved that there is still more water in the Ultron well perhaps for a bit more time to come. This volume makes you miss the Avengers, as they used to be...
