I can appreciate the sentiment of supporting the comic book industry but seriously where do you think 99% of the scans in this thread came from? You think people raced home from the store, tore their issue of the comic apart, flattened the pages, put them through the scanner and then labelled them "Avengers Volume x Issue xx Page x"?
I don't know about you crooks, but that's exactly what I do.

Didn't Nova and Worldmind require physical contact to the point where he was having his Novaforce directly drained by Annihilus to make the connection? If so, I think Nova's feat is comparable only on the surface because of the sheer scope and ease with which the Builder did what he did.On another note, Infinity >>>>>> Annihilation.
Thanos' global invasion of Earth is being handled very well; I like the campaign to assassinate Thane with the Inhumans caught in the crossfire and I like Namor and Black Panther's private war with each other even more than that. It could be an event on its own. The war against the Builders is flashy, dramatic and very well-done. It also could be an event on it's own. And yet, the real suspense and dread is the secret behind it all: the Incursions and the collapse of the Multiverse. From the very start of New Avengers, this is all just the culmination of Cap's warning to the Illuminati:
Well... guess who just found the Illuminati's secret stash of anti-matter injection bombs built for the purpose of destroying Earths during Incursions:

Btw, I do plan on reading every Infinity-related issue after the event is all said and done... I just don't feel like keeping up with it, and Forever Evil at the same time.

Avengers and New Avengers are the only tie-in issues you should even bother reading. The latter being more important to the ultimate mystery behind it all. And only 3 issues have been published on that front. Frankly, it wasn't just until this last issue of Avengers #21 that the Avengers side-issues were even relevant to advancing the Infinity plot. Previous Avengers issues were more side-character stories rather than plot advancers.
I'm actually shocked that so much happened in Avengers #21.

Even though it's nice to see Thanos getting some respect again, Forever Evil seems to be the way more entertaining event.
