About this Collection
This Epic Collection volume covers a pivotal era for the Avengers, collecting issues from the mid-1990s that lead into the controversial 'The Crossing' storyline. It features the team grappling with betrayal and time-displaced threats, including the return of Kang the Conqueror and the introduction of a new, mysterious Avengers lineup. Key creators like Bob Harras and Mike Deodato Jr. contribute to this period of upheaval and change for Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
In "Let Slip the Dogs of War!", Daredevil and the Black Widow join a lean Avengers team in a high-stakes mission to shatter Magneto’s mind control over their allies and the X-Men. With the fate of heroes hanging in the balance, the Black Widow earns her place among the Avengers in a pivotal moment. Written by Steve Englehart, illustrated by Don Heck with inks by Mike Esposito, colors by David Hunt, and letters by John Costanza, the issue features a cover by John Romita.
