Marvel Masterworks: The Avengers #16

This handsome Marvel Masterworks hardcover collects The Avengers #150–163, Annual #6, and Super-Villain Team-Up #9, gathering a rich run of Earth's Mightiest Heroes under one cover. The reproduced Avengers #161 cover by George Pérez and Pablo Marcos is a real treat — Captain America, the Vision, the Scarlet Witch, Black Panther, and Wonder Man are overwhelmed by a swarm of ants while a full-sized Ant-Man drives the assault, with the Scarlet Witch nearly engulfed by the tiny attackers in what the cover boldly calls "the most bizzare battle ever!" With Gerry Conway, Jim Shooter, George Pérez, John Buscema, and Sal Buscema all represented across these issues, this 2016 collection offers an exceptionally creative stretch of Avengers storytelling in a single, satisfying volume.
