Avengers: Above and Beyond

Kurt Busiek and Steve Epting delivered a single-issue Marvel story in 2005 that redefines the team's scale, centering on Goliath as the Avengers confront a threat that spans dimensions and time. This standalone tale distills the epic scope of the classic team into a tight, cosmic adventure, showcasing Busiek's knack for character-driven heroics and Epting's grounded, cinematic art. Though brief, it stands as a potent, self-contained chapter in the Avengers' legacy.
