Avengers Assemble ending with issue 25

Straight from Kelly Sue DeConnick's tumblr, AVENGERS ASSEMBLE will be ending its run with issue 25. It's a sad turn as I've enjoyed DeConnick's presentation of the Avengers as a team that actually likes being with one another and that has a real chemistry but I don't think it's particularly surprising news. According to DeConnick, the book "fulfilled its mandate" so it doesn't really seem like a fully bitter situation or anything like that. Also, on the heels of the new AVENGERS WORLD, it seems a little redundant to have two Avengers titles focused on the team as a team doing the smaller missions they won't go for in AVENGERS. Now we can only hope that AVENGERS WORLD brings out the same sort of focus on team chemistry and the Avengers as people and not just on plot. We've got that in AVENGERS as is. Goodbye, AVENGERS ASSEMBLE. You were a lot of fun.
