That's exactly how it was with me and the Steve Epting Avengers. Plus the added benefit of making me curious about Avengers continuity up to that point. I love the Legion and I love the X-Men, but I love the Avengers even more!

My daughter has moved back in with us before her wedding in a couple of months, and a lot of her stuff is sitting in boxes in front of my cupboard full of old comics, so rereading old comics is not an option for a little while.
