Avengers: Above and Beyond #[nn]

After the fallout of "Maximum Security," the Avengers are pushed to their limits as Pagan and Lord Templar assault Avengers Mansion, while the Bloodwraith unleashes chaos in Slorenia—testing the team's resolve in a storm of overlapping threats.

In "Scorched Earth," the Avengers face another frustrating standstill against Pagan and Lord Templar, their efforts in Slorenia limited to containing the Bloodwraith. Disillusioned by their inability to make real progress, the team confronts the need to redefine their purpose and how they operate together.

In "Above and Beyond," the Avengers respond to a strange emergency in a Greek town where every resident has inexplicably transformed into Hulks, forcing the team to confront a crisis that tests their judgment and unity. With their expanded roster and a mandate for proactive defense, they must navigate the chaos without knowing what caused the transformation—or what might come next.

In "The Ultron Imperative Chapter 7: This Evil...Unveiled!", Alkhema faces a chilling revelation—she’s been unknowingly serving Ultron’s design all along. With the fate of her bio-synthezoids at stake, she makes a desperate move, urging Hawkeye to destroy her before Ultron can claim her completely.
