One of the most interesting story arcs from Marvel, yet it is overstretched unnecessarily. Certain characters like Spiderman and Susan Storm are specially developed; others like the main protagonists remain two dimensional. The X-men are completely irrelevant, as the Young Avengers. It tries to delve deep into politics and morality, but honestly it falls short most of the time, except by a wonderful speech from Cap to Spidey that is not included in this collection. Nonetheless it is very interesting, although DC did almost the same long before.
