Avengers Next: Rebirth #[nn]

In "Does the World Still Need the Avengers?", the new generation of heroes faces a crisis of purpose when their very existence is put to the test—just as Ulik, the Hag, and Warp launch a brutal assault on the mansion, backed by an army of Avenger Zombies. The story grapples with legacy and relevance, thrusting these young heroes into a battle that challenges not just their strength, but the meaning of being an Avenger.

When a rogue meteor crashes through the Avengers' compound, Nova and Earth Sentry are on the case—only to find themselves face-to-face with Thena, Thor’s daughter, whose sharp tongue and brash attitude don’t help the tension. As Sylene taunts the captured Masterson, the air crackles with danger: Ultron stirs, and the team’s next move could be their last.

In "null," the Avengers launch a rescue mission for the captured Kevin Masterson, only to face a deadly ambush by Ultron and Ulik. As they triumph and return home, a shocking twist reveals Kevin’s true identity—and the Quinjet’s fate takes a devastating turn.

In "Cry, My Beloved Homeworld," Nova, Mainframe, and Earth Sentry arrive at Avengers HQ to find the team captured and their Quinjet destroyed. The old hag, revealed to be Sylene, unleashes energy duplicates of fallen Avengers to turn Earth's heroes against one another, using Thena and J2’s powers to begin reshaping the planet into a new Asgard. As Warp grapples with the scale of her leader’s ambition, he makes a desperate choice to return Kevin Masterson to the base—leaving the future of Earth hanging in the balance.

In "Farewell, My Planet!", the Avengers are trapped as Sylene transforms Earth into a new Asgard, leaving only the powerless Kevin Masterson, Jarvis, and Warp to stop her. With clever tactics and a stolen remote control, Jarvis dismantles Sylene’s energy clones, while J2 rescues Thena from the heart of her spell. As the Avengers awaken and reclaim their strength, Thena restores Kevin’s Thunderstrike powers—just as Warp teleports them to safety and Mainframe brings down a satellite on Sylene’s mountain.
