Avengers Academy #1
This collection ties into the Avengers Vs. X-Men event, focusing on the students and staff of the Avengers Academy as they navigate the fallout of the Phoenix's arrival on Earth. The young heroes-in-training find themselves caught between the opposing factions, dealing with their own personal conflicts and the escalating war between Earth's Mightiest Heroes and the Children of the Atom. Written by Christos Gage, it collects issues from the Avengers Academy series that run concurrent with the main event, highlighting characters like Hazmat, Mettle, Finesse, and Veil alongside established Avengers such as Hawkeye and Justice.
"Admissions" kicks off Avengers Academy with a high-stakes training drill when Quicksilver sends Arsenal after the students, testing their limits. As tensions rise, Finesse confronts Dr. Pym with a surprising revelation about her parentage and boldly challenges Quicksilver’s identity, hinting at secrets from the Brotherhood and the aftermath of the Secret Invasion. Written by Christos Gage and illustrated by Mike McKone, with colors by Jeromy Cox and letters by Joe Caramagna, this issue sets a sharp, character-driven tone for the series, all wrapped in a cover by Mike McKone.

Quicksilver sends Arsenal after the students as a training exercise. Later, Finesse tells Dr. Pym that she might be the daughter of the Taskmaster, and tells Quicksilver that she knows he was not replaced by a Skrull duing the Secret Invasion (as everyone else believes) and tries to blackmail him into teaching her the things Magneto taught him in the Brotherhood.
