☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 1998 Marvel collection reprints the classic 'Under Siege' storyline from the 1980s, pitting Earth's Mightiest Heroes against a remorseless Masters of Evil led by Baron Zemo. The arc is renowned for its brutal, high-stakes assault on Avengers Mansion and the severe injuries inflicted on key members like Jarvis and the Wasp.
In "Wild In the Streets!", the Avengers face a storm of public scrutiny as the debate over Namor’s membership reaches a boiling point. When Moonstone manipulates protesters into chaos, Captain Marvel springs into action to rescue FBI agent Derek Freeman from a crashing helicopter—only for the team to unknowingly deliver Moonstone into the hands of the Absorbing Man and Titania, disguised as police. With Namor now facing a $2 billion lawsuit and forced to flee to Atlantis to protect Marrina from Attuma’s rising rule, the team’s unity is tested like never before. Written by Roger Stern and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema and Tom Palmer, with colors by Christie Scheele and letters by Jim Novak, the cover by John Buscema and Joe Jusko captures the escalating tension.
In "Wild In the Streets!", the Avengers face a storm of public unrest as the debate over Namor’s place in the team ignites chaos. When Moonstone manipulates protesters into rioting, Captain Marvel springs into action to rescue FBI agent Derek Freeman from a crashing helicopter—only to find the situation spiraling beyond control. With Namor now facing a $2 billion lawsuit and forced to flee, he races to protect Marrina from Attuma’s rising threat in Atlantis.
In "Breakaway!", Captain Marvel teams up with FBI agent Derek Freeman as a wave of high-profile jailbreaks shakes the superhero community—Grey Gargoyle, Mister Hyde, and Whirlwind all vanish from custody. With tensions rising, the Paladin and the Wasp investigate the new Yellowjacket, while the Grey Gargoyle and Screaming Mimi make a desperate move to free him. Amid the chaos, Namor reaches out to the Avengers, pleading for help to save Marrina.
In "Divided... We Fall!", the Avengers face a devastating assault as the Masters of Evil strike with brutal precision—capturing Captain America and the Black Knight, seemingly killing Hercules, and sending Captain Marvel spiraling into Blackout's dark dimension. With the team shattered and the battlefield littered with fallen allies, the Wasp stands alone, forced to confront the aftermath of a battle that’s already claimed too much.
In "Even a God Can Die!", Ant-Man and the Wasp race to protect the comatose Hercules from Titania and the Absorbing Man, while Captain Marvel fights to escape Blackout’s shadowy darkforce dimension. Meanwhile, Mister Hyde turns his cruelty on Jarvis, testing the limits of endurance in the chaos of the siege.
In "Revenge," Captain Marvel breaks free from Blackout’s darkforce dimension by escaping the Shroud’s form, setting off a chain reaction across the battlefield. With Thor and Ant-Man joining forces with the Wasp and Captain Marvel, the heroes launch a coordinated assault on the Masters of Evil, while the Black Knight and Captain America race to save Jarvis from Mister Hyde’s rampage. Meanwhile, Doctor Druid strikes independently, and Thor strips the Wrecking Crew of their Norn strength, returning it to the Wrecker.
In "The Price of Victory," the Avengers face a brutal showdown against the Masters of Evil, rallying with the aid of Thor, Doctor Druid, and Ant-Man. As Baron Zemo’s mind control pushes Blackout to his breaking point, the cost of victory becomes painfully clear.
