Written by ROY THOMAS Penciled by SAL BUSCEMA, JOHN BUSCEMA & FRANK GIACOIA Cover by JOHN BUSCEMA Avengers assemble! The MARVEL MASTERWORKS are bringing you yet another collection from the heyday of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. You know it’s trouble when Kang the Conqueror drops in from the 41st century, but this time he pits our heroes against Hyperion, Nighthawk, Dr. Spectrum and the Whizzer — the Squadron Sinister — in a cosmic chess match! And as if one menace wasn’t enough, then from across time the Avengers must also face the combined combat skill of the Captain America, Sub-Mariner and Human Torch of 1941! Next, it’s a focus on the King of Wakanda, the Black Panther, as he infiltrates the supremacist Sons of the Serpent. But when he’s captured, will the Serpents use T’Challa to incite a war that will tear the nation apart? Then it’s the return of Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, but with them in two comes a barbarian as only Big John Buscema can draw them, Akron the Magnificent! And before you close these pages you’ll find out how to rent an Avenger when they become heroes for hire, see the return of the Man-Ape and the Lethal Legion, and enjoy guest-stars galore with the Black Knight, Nick Fury, Captain Marvel and Black Widow! Collecting AVENGERS #69-79. www.newsarama.com/preview_images/marvelnew/dec08/mmaven008_hc.jpg

An interesting time in the Avengers series -- the return of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, along with the loss of Yellowjacket and Wasp to the team! I very much liked the time at that point, and think the book was still at its peak, up until the post Kree-Skrull war, in which we started getting some bad stories in between good ones. The one involving the teaming of The Grim Reaper and The Phantom was, while fun, a little loony at points! And of course, there's Hawkeye and that frightening skirt... but I digress. I totally enjoyed the series, and some interesting stories were produced in that Masterworks volume!
