About this Collection
This collection brings together the 2005 G.L.A. limited series, a satirical take on Marvel's Great Lakes Avengers. Writer Dan Slott and artist Paul Pelletier follow the misfit team of D-list superheroes as they attempt to rebrand themselves after a disastrous public appearance, leading to a series of comedic misadventures and a new, more fitting name. The volume also includes the team's earlier appearances from West Coast Avengers and other Marvel titles.

In "Countdown to a Miscount," the Great Lakes Avengers—now rebranded as the Great Lakes X-Men after being told to stop using the Avengers name—rally to face the cosmic threat of Maelstrom, while Mr. Immortal grapples with the unexpected weight of his true cosmic significance. Amid the chaos, Doorman's sacrifice reshapes the balance of power, inheriting Deathurge’s role as a servant of Oblivion.
