AVENGERS EPIC COLLECTION

Jim Shooter and David Michelinie wrote the stories in this collection, and George Pérez and John Byrne drew them. The centerpiece is the cosmic Korvac Saga, which also brings in the Guardians of the Galaxy. Korvac, who is filled with the Power Cosmic, aims to build a utopia on Earth. His godlike strength threatens the Avengers and everyone else on the planet.

The volume opens and closes with The Yesterday Quest, a storyline that brings major developments for the Scarlet Witch, including her first encounter with the Darkhold and its malevolent power. Between these arcs, new heroes join the team, and the Avengers face the Absorbing Man and Count Nefaria in hard-fought battles.

This collection reprints Avengers (1963) issues #167-188, Annual #8-9, and material from The Korvac Saga trade paperback.
