It's typical for an Event series to have an impact on its parent comics - in this case, War of the Realms is spinning out of Thor and the Avengers.
Usually it's a negative effect - the regular titles go into "running in place" mode while all the action happens in the Event comic.
We see a little bit of that in this issue - there's a lot of recap action here, as we see what various teams of heroes are busy with while the war continues.
And the story focuses on a supporting character who promises to have key role in upcoming stories. We also see lots of heroes roaring into action (though we don't see much of that action).
As always, the art by Ed McGuinness and Mark Morales is powerful, and the story by Jason Aaron (who's also writing the War of the Realms series) is compelling.
It's a solid comic that manages to fill the bill for both fans of the Event series - and those who are just reading The Avengers.
