Started reading the Hickman Avengers Omni. It was better than I remembered, Hickman reads so well in long collected form. Original criticisms mostly stand, some of the way he writes is tough to read. Short sentences that are supposed to sound meaningful. "the system is broken"... I think he does introduce a bunch of interesting new characters, and they get some characterization while the main Avengers are more generic. I think he gets Cap's character really well. Most of the characterization stuff sort of has to go on the new characters. In some ways, given the amount of stuff he is trying to do, things still feel rushed.
Overall it is really one of the better runs in Marvel post-2000.
