Not my favorite Avengers story

Avengers (2016-) #4 - Mark Waid, Mike Del Mundo, Alex Ross

And it's only not a five star/favorite because I have very little interest in Kang.   He's a brilliant villain, creepy and smart, and worthy of the Avengers.   I just am not a particular fan of time-travel stories, and Kang is all about the time-travel. 

 

Still, I've given this Kang storyline a steady four stars: it resolved a story with Vision from the last series, it was fun, and I like the art even if I long for other artists who have dealt with Vision in a way I find more aesthetically pleasing.   That being said, this issue was absolutely brilliant: Kang's exposition was gorgeously done, and integral to the revelation at the end.   I just find Kang off-putting, both his ambitions to force everyone to acknowledge him, and his hubris, although he claims he has none after that first realization that he had hubris.  

 

I found it off-putting enough to read so much about him that I still found this a four star read.   I'm not even knocking down more stars, because the brilliance of this storyline compensated for me not enjoying reading about him.
