>Heroes Return SUCKED. The books were mediocre as fucking shit, excluding only Avengers.
Most of the Heroes Return books started off well, and if star artists made Heroes Reborn sell, the idea with Heroes Return seemed more to be star writers, though most of the books did have high-profile artists at least initially.

But Waid and Garney's return to Captain America wasn't as good as the original run, but went on twice as long, and Waid was doing the same insane threat escalation he'd been doing in Flash at the same time.

FF started well, but then Claremont took over and none of his work since he returned to Marvel was ever really that good.

Iron Man was a milquetoast run that got overrated just for being the first 'normal' Iron Man run in several years, and has TWO mystery box villains that were impossible for readers to work out.

Thor started well but also had mystery plots Jurgens seemed to be making up as he went along, and was only really worth reading when JR Jr was drawing, until it suddenly gets good years into the run when Thor becomes king.

Avengers is the one Heroes Return run people loved, and even there sales started slipping after Perez left, the star artist was a big draw for the book, and a lot of people overrate that Avengers run because they haven't read the earlier Bronze Age runs it's paying homage to.
