I'm tempted to give this issue a four-star rating, but mostly because the ending broke my heart. That isn't a very fair reason for downgrading it though. So I'm being an adult.
A lot happens in this issue, and I do mean a lot. I'm going to try and avoid details, for the sake of spoilers. A lot of the classic Marvel heroes are involved in this battle. There are just as many side characters and companions helping out as well - the war is too big to not get everyone pulled into it. I'm actually really happy to see the involvement of so many characters. Especially because their roles actually all made sense.
In particular, I loved the subplot surrounding Doctor Strange, though obviously, I'm upset by how things turned out in the long run. That bit wasn't really his fault though, so I lay no blame at his feet. I'm just sad that it happened.
