The Avengers finally finish business on the Squadron Supreme's world, stealing their president's Serpent Crown and fleeing. Back on their own Earth, they face off against the Brand Corporation and the "might" of Orka. Oooooooh.

Tony Isabella and Don Heck present a two-issue fill-in that makes no sense but also does no harm. Be amazed as The Assassin puts Captain America in the hospital and then takes a roundabout approach to trying to kill everyone else before ultimately being murdered by their own henchmen. Hooray!

It's the final showdown with Kang, mostly because Thor makes him so mad he kills himself. Two Gun Kid decides he wants to go to the future, while Hawkeye plans to quit the team. And Patsy Walker becomes Hellcat right before the rest of the team gets zapped into the Squadron Supreme universe.

Captain America returns and recruits the team to help him break into the Brand Corporation to investigate some shenanigans, but they're immediately defeated by the Squadron Supreme. Immortus helps Thor and Moondragon travel back to the Old West where they find Hawkeye trying to stop Kang from robbing a uranium train with the help of Marvel's Western heroes.

As Wasp lies at Death's door yet again, Whirlwind decides to try to kidnap her. In the ensuing fight, Yellowjacket gets injured and starts growing uncontrollably. Just as we think we may finally get rid of the two Pyms for good, Beast has to go and save them with science. Thanks a lot, new guy.

Time to find some new team members! Looks like Moondragon and Beast are the first two applicants. Of course, they have to get past The Stranger (who seems somewhat stranger than the usual Stranger) first. And Wasp almost dies...again.

Could this possibly be the end to the Celestial Madonna saga? Let's just say it goes out in spectacular fashion. Vision and Scarlet Witch get married. Mantis marries a tree, becomes an official member, then disappears. Plus we get surprise appearances from Dormammu, Kang, and the Space Phantom. It's truly magical.

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 Moondragon. And we see Scarlet Witch get attacked by a chair.

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 to face the Legion of the Unliving. Iron Man almost dies. Vision discovers he's the original Human Torch. And some hooded weirdo meets Swordsman's green ghost in an alley.

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 Vietnam. And we all wonder why we wasted our time.
