As the legendary hero confronts the enigmatic absence of the gods on Olympus, the fate of the Promethean Flame hangs in the balance. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated with gritty precision by George Tuska, with lettering by Artie Simek, the cover by Stuart Immonen and Wade von Grawbadger captures the storm brewing across both Earth and myth.

Quicksilver escapes from Magneto long enough to alert the Avengers, but he is recaptured. Dane Whitman recalls the death of his uncle, the villainous Black Knight, as he prepares to become the new Black Knight to fight Magneto himself. But when he meets the Avengers, they attack him, not knowing that this new Black Knight is on their side. Meanwhile, in Olympus, Hercules finds that the gods are missing and the Promethean Flame has been extinguished.
