We start with a Carol Danvers focused issue before jumping back into the Kang War with both feet!

It's a giant issue with four of the most important Avengers writers to this point and bunches of artists, most of them never having touched the team before!!  Oh, and it features Ultron, but not for some time.  

The Kang War kicks into high gear as we see battles being fought on multiple fronts and a surprising ally (or is he?) shows his face.

Its the 2001 annual and this year we're solving the mystery of just what is going on with Hank Pym!  And we've got three Hanks to do it with!  Which Hank will control all at the end?

Its the end of the Alan Davis run (sniff, sniff) as the Kang plot continues with a threat in Russia and another master villain enters the fray!

The Avengers have beaten Diablo, but now they have to face the menace of Kang and the Scarlet Centurion!  Kang wants to take over the world, but only for the best of reasons!  

The Avengers have a big green problem...actually a lot of big green problems when the population of an entire town are turned into Hulks!  Who's behind it?  Whoever it is, Silverclaw fights them alone!

Steve Epting sticks around for one more issue as Kurt Busiek surprises us all in bringing back one of the 90'siest characters to ever 90s, Bloodwraith!  And then the next art team of Alan Davis and Mark Farmer arrive to help usher in a new era for the team!

After what seems like forever, we're back to the main title, with not nearly as many side trips, since the limited series are going to be pretty...limited for the remainder of this Avengers volume.  We start out by checking in on the crew from Avengers: Infinity as they collide with the current Marvel crossover, Maximum Security!  And then former Avengers artist Steve Epting returns to help us move some subplots forward!

Woo hoo!  This week we are interviewing one of my favorite writers....Fabian Nicieza!  We discuss a lot of his early work, which happens to include quite a few Avengers issues, as well as some Thunderbolts and his thoughts on the Avengers in general.  He's a super nice man who was so gracious with his time and we hope you all enjoy the conversation
