KURT BUSIEK/alan davis/mark farmer

• THE SCOOP: Kicking off an epic to rival AVENGERS FOREVER!

• THE STORY: One of the Avengers' oldest and most powerful foes has descended to Earth with a dire message for all humanity! What is it—and more importantly—who sent him?

• THE CREATORS: C'mon, it's by Kurt Busiek, Alan Davis and Mark Farmer... what else is there left to say?

• THE BUZZ: "Wonderful stuff! I didn't know how Marvel could hope to replace George Pérez, but they've found the perfect follow-up in Davis... this promises to be the best AVENGERS tale since those initial story arcs, and I can't wait to see what happens next. Grade: A" -Cliff Biggers, Comics Buyer's Guide
