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"?

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:

I have an idea of where this is headed and I think it's really brave from a story-telling point of view.

I've really only been following the main Infinity series. Have any of the tie-in issues yet mentioned who(or what) is responsible for these incursions, and why they are happening? Why LT, the highest-level cosmic in the omniverse, is seemingly dead?

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.
