Hickman's style isn't for everyone, but I loved his run.  A long complex interwoven narrative instead of the avengers just facing the villain d'jour.

I don't mind long and complex (many writers have done that before) but just reading Avengers (not New), with characters that didn't fit and a weird plot line mainly in space with god (not just Thor god like, I mean Universal gods) characters and New Universe characters mixed in, it just didn't feel right. At least when Bendis wrote it and before with Busiek, it felt like an Avengers book.

Keep in mind, I do not feel serial comics do not suit Hickman's style, he jumps around too much in time meaning a non-TPB story writen by him can seem confusing if you only read it month to month.

I wouldn't mind that. They have to do rotations. I doubt it will be the whole core team. They will switch out whoever they need, for a time. And put in new people. This will allow potential solo series. Or just plain setting up characters that can be used later on. In another film. It could be a back door in helping out sony. If say they use Spider-Woman, as an example. Fox would be smart and use this. And give the FF to mMarvel. To fix their shit.

I read the bulk of the story on Marvel Unlimited, so until the last few issues, I was reading them in relatively short order.  Maybe that's why I enjoyed it more.

I agree that it felt less like Avengers than previous runs, but that's kind of why I liked it.  Not that there's anything wrong with the older runs, but when you have series that are going to last decades, it's good to have runs that are unique.
