A few days ago, I was betting on 4 including the existing Infinity volume.
Even if they decided to roll Infinity into an Omnibus collection, there are 83 Hickman issues, 92 if you include SW and 96 if you include non-Hickman annuals and 34.1 and 34.2.
Realistically, I'd say that's three volumes at least.

They appear to be alt Emma Frosts if I understood the final New Avengers correctly.
uh really?

I don't see how you could reach that conclusion.

Old Man Steve is basically Brain dead Nick Fury.

On the moon.
This sounds like a joke answer but isn't haha.
So in a fit of "this looks kind of cool" I picked up the first 3 trades of New Avengers. Then I found this thread and realized I am sucked down into a comic hole that is a mile wide. I bought the first 2 Avengers trades to go along with it but real talk, if at some point I choose to just read one or the other am I going to lose a ton or not? I usually avoid big super hero stuff because I just like to buy trades for a series and read a persons run on its own but this seems bonkers from the list at the top of the thread. I only buy trades so it will take me a good while to even have it all available but if I read some issues of Avengers, before or after they appear in the timeline am I majorly screwing myself? I mostly was interested in the New Avengers Illuminati madness. Help out a dude who is super new to stuff that is this complicated!

Well basically, yes. After a while, it's basically one series under two different names.
Those bastards. This is why I usually stick to my Image stuff
One series of trades I can keep up with but trying to stagger two of them while also picking up a third mini series (infinity?) is... expensive.Palette Swap

Yeah, Thane showed up in the Black Vortex saga. He even powered up during the event so right now, he's all set up to be this big cosmic villain.
As for 616 Fury, I hope the moon doesn't get destroyed during that final incursion.
The moon just got partially blasted by Sol's Hammer -_-
Maybe they already killed him with Sol's Hammer by accident?

If you have a tablet, the cheapest route I see is getting a month free trial of Marvel Unlimited with promo code "Star Wars", read everything on there up till the six month cutoff and buy the recent trades that aren't on there yet after that.

That would be funny.
I can't read off tablets, gives me a huge headache. I complain about something I now there is a simple solution to
. I just got the next two Avengers trades because it looks like my New Avengers I have is good for a LONG TIME and the Avengers is a bigger part of the story at the beginning. I can't seem to find Infinity? Is that included in either of the Avengers trades or is that its own thing? That I may end up reading online if I have to because I don't but floppy books.PhoncipleBone

Did you by the hardback or soft back versions of New Avengers? Because if soft back, then that last sentence confuses me. If hardback, there is a hardcover of Infinity as well as the paperback version. It contains the Infinity series as well as the issues from Avengers and New Avengers.

Haha, you're right guys.
He's Fury, he'll eventually come back anyway.

There is a TPB for Infinity but it also includes New Avengers #7-12 (which you already own in New Avengers vol 2) and Avengers #14-23. You would still have to get Avengers vol 3 TPB to get #12-13 though (and basically rebuying #14-17).
So I think it would quite frankly be easier to read the 6 issues of Infinity online (but you really need to read the whole event in order).
Infinity 1
New Avengers 8-9
Avengers 18
Infinity 2
Avengers 19
New Avengers 10
Infinity 3
Avengers 20
Infinity 4
Avengers 21
New Avengers 11
Infinity 5
Avengers 22-23
Infinity 6
New Avengers 12

That's entirely unclear. For example, we know that eight months later, Cyclops is the leader of an X-Nation but right now, X-books are pretty much at the opposite of that.

The things Nick would do to Steve and Tony... heck, the things Nick would do to the illuminati...

Dude, Road to Secret Wars is, like, 80+ ish long counting only Aveng, New Aveng and Infinity. If it were a solo book this damn thing woulda taken 8+ years to build up, and that's not counting the F4 stuff.

The panel with all the Black Swans looks like an Emma Frost cosplay convention. And I think I read Hickman saying he wanted Frost (or Xavier) on the Illuminati instead of Beast.
Still not 100% sure what Doom's plan was. If he kills a MM, that universe dies.
Isn't that what the Beyonders want? How will that save anything?
I guess we'll find out more in a couple days...
In the meantime, what's everyones favorite stuff outta this:

Heads up, Hickman's Avengers stuff is on sale on comixology.

Yeah, I don't have any ideas.

TBH I wanted to add "finally".
|OT| ... and then the planets kiss
New X-Men is awesome. Planet Hulk is a great read. I love Marvel Zombies for it's pulp value. And there is love and hate, but I really like Old Man Logan. Everything New Avengers is good as well.
Yeah, I'm a fan of NXM & Planet Hulk.
Maybe I'll give Zombies a read to get more insight into 1610 Reed.
It just gives you insight to a younger, optimist Reed. The current Ultimate Reed is much older and villainous I guess.

I just realized the last time Doom faced a Beyonder head on, he gained its powers. I wonder how much of that plan in NA #33 was a repeat of that.
It's also worth noting that back then, Molecule Man reignited some stars after Doom souped him up by lifting his mental blocks.
