"Mighty Avengers" is amusing, but it actually feels like it's juggling a little too much at once.

Mighty Avengers #24

X-Men: Divided We Stand #2
May 25th, 2008 | By James Hunt
While an improvement over the opening issue due to a decreased focus on the “New X-Men” cast, "Divided We Stand" still feels largely skippable except for hardcore mutant completists.
