House of M: Avengers #1

In the alternate reality of House of M: Avengers #1, Luke Cage emerges from prison to find a world transformed—mutants now rule, and the streets bear the scars of Magneto’s reign. With his powers newly awakened, Cage sets out to confront the friend who betrayed him, then rallies a resistance of heroes dubbed the Avengers in a fight for human rights. Misty Knight is sent in from within to dismantle them from the inside. Written by Christos N. Gage and illustrated by Mike Perkins, with colors by Laura Martin and covers by Mike Perkins, this 2008 issue blends personal stakes with a high-stakes rebellion.
