For some reason, I became disenchanted with many things Busiek (though I still think his Superman: Secret Identity is one of the better Superman tales) and found a re-read of his Avengers run with Perez to also be a hard slog.

Avengers Forever was billed as a special cross-history adventure, if I recall correctly. The Avengers series was billed as a great starting point, and then issue 2 they're doing an alternate continuity, which I found way too confusing, since I didn't yet know the "real" characters. But that argument was done with a long time ago. :) I was one of those readers at the time, but I don’t have the same reaction.

Busiek's run on the regular title is a good barometer as to whether a reader would like this. If the heavy use of flashbacks and continuity in the main book was a problem (as I remember it being for some readers at the time) this miniseries probably won't be a fun read since those are in more prominent use. Pacheco's art is still very nice. I enjoyed it more at the time than I do now, I think. Busiek’s run on the regular title is a good barometer as to whether a reader would like this.
