New Avengers Annual #3

In a pivotal moment for the New Avengers, Clint Barton’s failed attempt to assassinate Norman Osborn lands him in enemy hands, triggering a brutal hunt that sees the Dark Avengers, aided by Mentallo, dismantle the team’s primary base. With the female New Avengers—led by Jewel—launching a daring raid on a HAMMER heli-carrier to free Barton, the survivors regroup at a hidden secondary location. There, Steve Rogers steps in, asking the team if they’re ready to strike back at Osborn. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by Mike Mayhew, this 2010 annual features dynamic art and high-stakes tension, with cover by Mike Mayhew.
