I agree with everything positive that's been said here about Busiek's Avengers: while the last storyline with Perez I thought went nowhere, and the Triune Understanding bit was pretty obvious and dull, and the Kand Dynasty lasted a little too long, I still love the Busiek take on The Avengers: as has already been said, it's at least the best Avengers since Stern, and may be the best run on Avengers ever, topping Thomas, Englehart, Shooter, and Stern. As far as I'm concerned, the Avengers of those eras are the real Avengers, and what Sony/Quesada/Bendis/Millar Comics has currently done with the team -- and its soon to be three current titles -- is a disgrace.
