Avengers Academy #1
"Permanent Record Part 1" kicks off Avengers Academy #1 with a sharp, unsettling premise: a new generation of young heroes is being trained by Avengers with complicated histories. Written by Christos Gage and Joe Quesada, and illustrated by Mike McKone with colors by Jeromy Cox, the issue unfolds with a tense undercurrent as the recruits begin to uncover the truth about their past—revealing they were all subjected to experiments by Norman Osborn, and that their mentors’ mission may be as much about control as it is about guidance. The cover by Mike McKone captures the moment with a stark, foreboding focus on the team’s uncertain future.

A new team of young heroes is being trained by several Avengers with questionable pasts. The kids discover that they were all tortured by Norman Osborn to discover the extent of their abilities, and that the Avengers' mission is just as much to keep watch over them in case they turn evil as it is to train them.
