Currently only reading Avengers and New Avengers. Only so much Avengers I can take and afford to buy haha. Plus I was always a X kid growing up, I sided with the Mutants in AvX.

New avengers, avengers and Uncanny Avengers are my go to A titles.
New Avengers is one of the best overall titles currently. The story is hands down better than the regular avengers title, and Steve Epting's art is beautiful and highly under-rated. And yes the should be retitled Illuminati.
Uncanny Avengers, has a great line up and at times has been better than all other X books, and most other Avengers titles.
Avengers, it's the flagship, but overall I'm not loving it. This title needs to exist but It just feels bland and weak compared to the others.
Avengers world, I picked up issue one, not bad, but not worth my four dollars, I'll probably get the first trade to decide if it's worth it down the line.

Avengers, New Avengers, Avengers World are on my pull, along with Secret Avengers. I really recommend this title. Uncanny Avengers is completely its own thing, and is gloriously full of all sorts of Marvel history.

Sounds like I should be reading Uncanny Avengers. I really like what I've read of Rick Remender's stuff, so I bet I'd like Uncanny.
Should I be reading AI? A comedic book with Pym and the Vision in it appeals to me.
Currently, I read Avengers, New Avengers, and Assemble. Assemble is my favorite, but apparently, that's ending? Damn. That ones feels the most like a traditional Avengers book to me. Hickman's titles are both really good, too. If he's doing with Avengers is anything like what he did with FF, count me in. I have faith that Avengers World will pan out into something good, as well.
That said, Young Avengers was my favorite of all of the Avengers titles, but that's done now.

Its got Pym, Vision and it's funny but it's secret weapon is Doombot. Trust me, he's awesome. It's not anything like the other Avengers books, so if you're in the mood for something different you should check it out. And yeah, you can't go wrong with Uncanny. |

I've heard rumors that AI is being considered for cancellation after issue 12, its only selling around 19,000 copies unfortunately.

I've always thought that Marvel should make a unique structure out of their Avengers titles instead of launching all these ongoing series. The primary ongoing series should be simply Avengers and New Avengers, while titles such as Mighty, Secret, AI, Uncanny, and World should be done as limited series with a focused story with there ending already planed out. This would prevent from having several ongoing that shift in and out of mediocrity. This type of story format was used somewhat with Avengers Area and Young Avengers.
On Going Titles
Avengers
New Avengers
Limited Series / Mini
Mighty Avengers
Secret Avengers
Avengers AI
Uncanny Avengers
Avengers World

New Avengers - This is by far my favorite, but it should be called Avengers: Illumanati
Avengers - The first run going up to Infinity was a little too crazy for my tastes. I have been reading it because hickman likes to connect story lines in books he writes. I will give it one more story arc (rogue planet) and if not good I am out.
Secret Avengers - Really like the premise and the first 5 issues were decent. I might do another continue if my wallet allows it
Mighty Avengers - read the first issue here and looked like a cross between the bendis new avengers and heroes for hire. Not going to get this one just becasue I feel like I got closure from the last run
Avengers World - I am very confused on what the premise of this book is. I thought it would be like Justice League Unlimited where you had different groups of avengers handles different things around the world, but after reading first issue it looks like just another avenger book that pretends like the others aren't happening.

If you liked Remendets xforce then you would love uncanny avengers. The first arc while good, can't Hold a candle to what's going on now. It's my new mission to get people to read this book |

Just read AI #1 on Unlimited and was suprised, did not think it would be that good.
That Doombot is awesome!

My hope for the book is that even if it doesn't last it'll have enough of a cult following that Humphries or even someone else can pick up the threads down the line. Doombot at least must live on. |

Pardon my French, but New Avengers was fucking epic this week. If you haven't checked it out, I highly recommend you do it. Mighty Avengers also made a hard turn out of obscurity and looks to have a bright future with the developments in issue 6.
