Avengers, Secret Avengers and New Avengers are 3 my favorite monthly "must read" Marvel books. And I agree, Hulk #24 was really cool. Despite it being very "Micheal Bay" and over the top- it's been very entertaining.
Brightest Day is indeed mediocre, Generation Lost is actually more interesting at the time.
Anybody saw the preview for UNCANNY X-Force? Looks great!
