Mighty Marvel Masterworks: The Avengers #1

When the Avengers worry over the Hulk's unpredictable path after his departure, their fears are realized during a fierce clash. Enter the Sub-Mariner, drawn into the conflict—initially at odds with both sides—before a surprising alliance forms between Namor and the Hulk to face the Avengers.

Captain America awakens from decades of suspended animation when his frozen form is freed by Namor’s attack on an eskimo village. Reunited with the Avengers, the team faces a new threat when an alien warps them to stone—only to offer a deal: help recover his shattered spacecraft, and he’ll restore them. As they journey to reclaim the alien ship, they’re met with resistance from Namor and his forces, testing their unity and resolve.

In "Kang, the Conqueror!", the time-traveling tyrant Kang sets his sights on ruling Earth, forcing the Avengers into a desperate stand. With the fate of the planet hanging in the balance, it's up to Wasp and the Teen Brigade to buy just enough time for the team to break free and confront the threat head-on.

In "The Avengers Break Up!", Immortus arrives with a bold offer: join forces with the Masters of Evil, using his mastery of Limbo to summon ancient allies from history’s past. As the team’s unity begins to fracture, old alliances are tested and new threats emerge from beyond time.
