The Avenging Hour

It's a short one this week, filled with partial origins for Vision and Mantis. We find out what happened to the original Human Torch. We find out why the Kree and the Skrulls hate each other. We meet…

There are Kangs everywhere! Rama Tut is a Kang! Immortus is a Kang! Even Kang is a Kang! After sitting around Vietnam killing muggers, the team is transported to a castle dungeon in Limbo and forced …

Great...Kang is back. The team is kidnapped. Hawkeye returns. We get involved in a whole time travel thing and the Celestial Madonna saga begins. The Swordsman dies. The team fights some bad guys in …

Scarlet Witch learns that The Whizzer is her dad. Ultron interrupts the wedding of Crystal and Quicksilver. The Fantastic Four dump their nanny witch in The Avengers' laps causing some creep named Ne…

Thanks to some girl who knows Rick Jones, the Avengers get caught up in an intergalactic war with Thanos. We end the issue with the gray-skinned alien hiding out on the mansion's roof. Then Klaw and …

We get a mini origin for Mantis that will likely change a million times. Swordsman manages to not get killed, but does cry on Scarlet Witch's shoulder. And the team fights a space dragon.

The Zodiac attacks! First they try to zap everyone in Manhattan who's a Gemini, then they blast our heroes into space, and then they fight among themselves long enough for everyone to get bored and l…

It's the end of the Avengers-Defenders War! The teams stopped fighting themselves and had to stop Dormammu from conquering reality. The Defenders went off to the Crusades for no apparent reason. And …

Part One of the Avengers-Defenders War! The storyline where heroes fight heroes for no reason whatsoever...well, okay, they're trying to gather pieces of the Evil Eye to turn the statue Black Knight …

Great, the Lion God is back thanks to our newest member Swordsman and his lady friend Mantis. Luckily there was a spare adamantium tube lying around to stuff him in. Then the team travels to England …

Black Widow helps the team defeat The Lion God and then quits, because this is all too much. Then a group calling themselves The Living Bombs (ironic) try to blow up Vision. Just another day in the A…

Hawkeye leaves the team in a huff. On the plus side, he goes back to his old costume. On the not so plus side, he has to fight a nine foot tall guy who calls himself Champion and wants to blow the we…

Captain America has enough flashbacks to give everyone PTSD as Space Phantom and Grim Reaper hatch a ridiculous plan to kill the Avengers and transfer Vision's brain into Cap's body. Needless to say,…

It's the issues that Jason didn't really read. The team faces off against the Sentinels, but lets Larry Trask beat them and get killed in the process. Then Quicksilver leaves. Next we visit the Savag…

Oh boy. You'd think a story "co-written" by Harlan Ellison would be good. You'd also be VERY wrong. Any time The Watcher shows up you know you're in for something horrible. Then, Grim Reaper offers t…

These three issues all have something to do with Ares, which means they're pretty awful. First Ares disguises himself as Warhawk and tries to incite riots on Earth. Then he gets his hands on the Blac…

It's the end of the Kree-Skrull War where we find out it was all a Captain Mar-Vell fever dream, the Supreme Intelligence was just a jar of pickled eggs, and Ronan the Accuser was a stray dog that li…

Part Two of the Kree-Skrull War where we learn that the Skrulls are a bunch of shape-changing cows, Goliath is still an idiot, and everything we learned in the last three issues was garbage. Buckle u…

It's the beginning of the Kree-Skrull War...well, more of a prelude actually. Captain Marvel is here, and Rick Jones, and Ronan the Accuser and...ugh...Wasp and Yellowjacket return. We also meet Anni…

FOUR ISSUES! First, it's a two-part thing with the Squadron Supreme versus the stupid Brain-Child, THEN a one-issue origin of Black Panther, and THEN a one-issue weirdness guest starring Hulk and Fal…
