Avengers by Brian Michael Bendis #3

This third volume of Brian Michael Bendis's New Avengers run collects issues #20-26, as the team deals with the fallout of the House of M and the revelation of the Illuminati's secret history. The story arc, titled 'Secrets & Lies,' sees the New Avengers—including Luke Cage, Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Captain America—confronting the truth about their own allies while facing threats from the mysterious Collective and the villainous Hood's growing criminal empire. Bendis's signature decompressed storytelling and character-driven drama continue to redefine the team's dynamics in the post-Civil War Marvel landscape.
