Siege

In 2010, Brian Michael Bendis and Olivier Coipel brought Marvel's "Dark Reign" era to a thunderous close with Siege, a four-issue miniseries that pitted the Avengers—including Captain America, Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel, and Hawkeye—against the forces of Norman Osborn's corrupt regime. As Osborn's Dark Avengers and the villainous Mac Gargan's Venom threaten Asgard itself, Maria Hill and the resistance must rally Earth's mightiest heroes for a final, desperate battle. This series matters as the definitive capstone to a pivotal chapter in Marvel history, showcasing Bendis's signature ensemble storytelling and Coipel's epic, cinematic art.
