AVENGERS EPIC COLLECTION: ONCE AN AVENGER (The Avengers Epic Collection, 2)

When Stan Lee turned the super-hero world on its head replacing Avengers founders Iron Man, Thor, Giant-Man and the Wasp with a trio of former super villains, readers thought he’d long past mad. Because it turned out the one thing crazy used to be how insanely exciting the road-up of Captain The us, Hawkeye, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch would turn into! The hits continued with the fi rst appearance of the Collector, the Swordsman and the Sons of the Serpent, the Black Widow’s Avengers debut and Giant-Man’s transformation into Goliath. In spite of the implausible heights the Avengers had reached underneath Lee, when he passed the title to Roy Thomas, the sky used to be the limit!
