The Avengers have stood as the Earth's Mightiest Heroes, banded together to fight the good fight. Their ranks have included the most powerful mortals and gods in the Marvel Universe and their exploits have been depicted by the very best writers and artists in the business.

In this volume, collected from the current run of the comic, the Avengers can't seem to catch a break as they face one threat after another. Even during something as uplifting as New York City's Avengers Day, the Grim Reaper comes calling. They face off against the danger of munitions despot Moses Magnum and the Avatars of Lord Templar.

All is not hopeless because these stories also show a return to their ranks of long-time members Wonder Man and the Vision, plus the arrival of Triathlon and Silverclaw. But Hawkeye quits the team and shortly finds himself opposing his former allies when they try to take down the Thunderbolts.
