This was such a great idea. I love the Foundation kids, especially Ventley and the Moleoids.

I liked it too. It was looking forward with a title, and building outward from the "First Family" theme, but they always keep mashing the "reset" button at Marvel.

...I don't understand, how can this be so good, when Hickman's avengers was so bad?

Because it's not meaningless cosmic sturm und drang? Because the Fantastic Four like each other, and get along? Because there's not someone going on about how "everything dies" every other issue? Because the villains aren't ludicrously overpowered non-entities who don't even appear until the outright last issue, wherein they're summarily killed off?
Because the Fantastic Four don't spend thirty-odd issues watching disaster unfold while going "should we do something? We should do something. Should we do something?" and then never actually doing anything?

Because it actually is good, basically?

Well said, all of it.

Everyone's free to their own opinion but his Avengers was quite well-liked by many people even though it doesn't seem like it was too popular around here.

I was kind of surprised when I bit the bullet and started getting the trades from the library and reading the rest on marvel Unlimited just how much I enjoyed Hickmans Avengers run.

Why surprised?

The sheer amount of relentless bitching that followed every time someone posted something from his run just made m expect something very lackluster and not all great.

Bentley 23 is Hickman's greatest gift to comics.

Suprisingly, he's held up equally well under other writers. >_>
