Avengers: Times Runs Out: Volume Three Review

Finished reading Avengers: Times Runs Out: Volume Three, writer Jonathan Hickman continues the Time Runs Out storyline as Marvel's Secret Wars event begins to cast its shadow over the Marvel multiverse. The book begins where the previous book left off as Sue Richards has stopped all the avengers teams and the Illuminati from fighting by trapping them inside invisible boxes until Steve Rogers promises to talk with the Illuminati in hopes to come up with a plan to get rid of the Cabal after Namor confirms with the heroes that he made a mistake. During the next incursion where the heroes plan to kill the Cabal, Black Panther and Black Bolt severely injure Namor and leave him for dead on the planet below moments before it blows up. Not long after the incursion Mr Fantastic receives a signal from Hank Pym who has returned from his travels around the multiverse hoping to find out more about the incursions. Overall this was a good book as the events of the series begins to ramp up as the heroes have put aside their differences and begin to tackle the problem of the incursions together while different alien races of the galaxy have now discovered what's going on with the multiverse. The use of the Ultimate universe within the context of the story is great as it helps to show how different universes deal with the incursions and what that universe's Reed Richards has done in saving his world. The artwork throughout the book is great as the changing art works extremely well within the book by helping to distinguish between the different universes and the different character points of view. 7/10.
