About this Collection

This collection brings together the complete 2012 crossover event that pitted Earth's Mightiest Heroes against Marvel's non-team. The conflict erupts when the Defenders, manipulated by a cosmic force, clash with the Avengers over a powerful artifact, leading to battles featuring Thor, Hulk, and other key members from both rosters. Written by Jonathan Hickman and drawn by various artists, this storyline sets the stage for larger events in the Marvel Universe.

In the explosive Prologue to the war that divides them, the Avengers and the Defenders clash in a brutal clash of wills—Swordsman duels Valkyrie, while Captain America faces off against the Sub-Mariner. As the fighting escalates, a chilling realization dawns: this conflict was no accident, but a carefully orchestrated trap. Written by Steve Englehart and brought to life by Bob Brown’s dynamic art, with inks by Mike Esposito and colors by Petra Goldberg, this 2012 clash sets the stage for a war built on deception. The cover, by John Romita, captures the tension in a single, iconic moment.
