The Avengers' space team continues its impossible struggle against the Phoenix force, now compounded with the responsibility of trying to save Hala from the cosmic entity and the endless manipulations of the Supreme Intelligence. Remender surrounds the story with much needed context, and given the horrible things the Kree Empire has gone through in the past, it is anyone's guess whether the heroes will be able to save its capital world from yet another devastating event.

Despite the galactic scope of the story, there is still room for more personal moments, such as the one between Thor and Captain Britain, or the ominous heart-to-heart between the Marvels with the Phoenix in the horizon; which will lead directly to the next stage in the life of Carol Danvers. Mar-Vell's return is still questionable, especially if it's going to be a transient one; people have got to let him rest in peace. Better issue than last.
