Avengers: The Initiative #1

This second volume of Avengers: The Initiative collects issues #7-13 of the 2007 series, continuing the story of the government's training program for new superheroes following the Superhuman Registration Act. The 'Killed in Action' arc focuses on the high casualty rate among the young recruits, as the Initiative faces threats from within and without, including the return of the villainous KIA. Written by Dan Slott and Christos Gage, this trade paperback delves into the darker consequences of the Marvel Universe's post-Civil War landscape.
