“Twilight of the Gods!”

In "Twilight of the Gods!", the Avengers face a divine reckoning as Zeus, consumed by fury, turns his wrath on Earth. With Doctor Druid helping to ground the delirious Hercules, the team must navigate the storm of a god’s wrath—only to witness a moment of profound redemption when Zeus, realizing his error, lifts his ban on Olympus and sends the Avengers back to Earth. Written by Roger Stern and brought to life with powerful art by John Buscema and Tom Palmer, this pivotal issue sees Thor depart to break Hela’s curse, Namor confront abandonment in Hydrobase, and the Avengers set out to find the missing Captain America—while the fate of the Greek gods hangs in the balance. The cover by John Buscema and Tom Palmer captures the epic scale of the divine confrontation.

Doctor Druid calms Hercules and gets the demigod to snap out of his delirium. Zeus continues his assault on the Avengers but is stopped by Hercules. A penitent Zeus forgives the Avengers and forbids all of the Greek gods from setting foot on the Earth ever again (including Hercules). Back on Earth, Thor leaves to attempt to end the curse placed on him by Hela. Also, Marrina returns to Hydrobase and tells Namor that all his Atlantean followers abandoned him after he was taken by Neptune. Later, Captain Marvel decides the Avengers will try to find the missing Captain America.
