About this Collection

This collection brings together the 2001-2002 storyline from the main Avengers series, where Earth's Mightiest Heroes face one of their most formidable foes: Kang the Conqueror. Spanning issues #41-55 and the Avengers Annual 2001, the arc sees Kang launching a multi-pronged assault across time, forcing the team into a desperate struggle to prevent him from rewriting history. Written by Kurt Busiek with art by Alan Davis, Kieron Dwyer, and others, it's a defining Kang saga that tests the Avengers like never before.

In "The High Ground," the Avengers launch a daring assault on Kang's stronghold, only to see their plan unravel. With their backs against the wall, Captain America and the stranded Avengers return from space, bringing with them the mysterious ship of the Triple-Evil to turn the tide. Written by Kurt Busiek and brought to life by Ivan Reis’s dynamic art, with Randy Emberlin’s inks and Tom Smith’s colors, this pivotal issue delivers high-stakes action and a dramatic reunion. The cover, by Ariel Olivetti, captures the moment of tension as the fate of the team hangs in the balance.
