The Avengers have disbanded. Page 1 of this collection reminds (or informs) the reader of what happened and why. Page 2 jumps in with some mysterious folks (fronted by veteran villain Electro) planning to take advantage of the vacuum by having a breakout at âThe Raftâ - maximum-maximum security prison where super-villains are jailed. The plan had an unexpected snag â there were 3 heroes visiting the facility at the time, a 4th being held there, and a few others who headed over to the facility when they realized there was some sort of issue at The Raft.

This collection of comic reprints does not provide earth-shattering revelations or thought-provoking philosophical truths. It DOES, however, entertain without getting boring. There IS still something to be said for that. It also provides some foreshadowing to future events, also a comic staple that is welcomed when done right.

Your life won't change if you take the time to read this. BUT you won't feel like you wasted your time, either.

RATING: 3 1/2 stars, rounded up to 4 stars where 1/2 stars are not permitted.
