We continue The Search for She-Hulk, including the return of Hawkeye to the team, and discuss the decompressed storytelling of this era.

We start with a Hank and Jan one off issue, which contained what was, at the time, an incredibly controversial sex scene, and then we begin The Search for She-Hulk, the last of Johns' multi issue storylines!

It's the end of the Red Zone, as the team fights the villain behind the entire affair and stop the cloud of death from continuing to spread across the country!

Red Zone continues as the Avengers deal with what this deadly virus is, why it was created and who it targeted. We also learn the true identity of Dell Rusk and the She-Hulk goes savage!

It's the beginning of Geoff Johns' biggest storyline, The Red Zone! A mysterious cloud of red mist, which kills those it touches, appears in South Dakota, and it is spreading! The Avengers arrive to figure out what the cloud is, where it came from, and how to stop it!

This week we get the final part of a three-part storyline that features Captain America, Thor and Iron Man that sees Thor leaving the team for a long time, and then we get a Falcon spotlight and that also gives us a lot of time with Henry Peter Gyrich.

We finally get the official lineup for the team and a new (old) security liaison, and then an issue that focuses on Ant-Man and the Jack of Hearts! Geoff Johns is offering up some great character moments so come along and enjoy!

We finish the World Trust storyline, as the team takes on Scorpio, and rescues the In-Betweener! And Thor is back!

Now we welcome Geoff Johns to the regular title, as he begins his run with a story featuring a brand new Scorpio! Cities disappear, long gone Avengers return to the team and Johns writes a great Namor!

We welcome Geoff Johns to the Marvel Universe with this tangentially related (but Avengers branded) four issue series about the Vision! He gets his mind wiped by a new villain from World War II and has to seek our Phineas Horton's descendant for help. Meet new characters that will never appear again in the Marvel Universe.

Its the end of the first Ultimates miniseries...but is it also the end of the Ultimates (the use of the word 'first' is probably a clue)? The team goes up against Nazi aliens, who are Skrulls but with the serial numbers filed off, and it gets nasty!

The Ultimates are now dealing with the aftermath of the Hulk attack and the aftermath of Hank's attack on Jan! So new characters are introduced and a new threat arises!

The Ultimates continues, with even more cynicism, but hey, the books are beautiful to look at! And if you like this series, please, write us and tell us why. Defend your fandom!

Its the introduction of the Avengers to the Ultimate Universe, called The Ultimates!! What if The Avengers, but as reimagined by one of the most cynical comic book writers in the business? The issues are problematic, but man, they are gorgeous to look at!

Its the final issue of the crossover of the century, between the JLA and the Avengers and everyone's invited...not just the heroes of both teams but all of the villains as well!

Its issue 3 of the epic JLA/Avengers crossover and there's a problem with time, as the Avengers and JLA are remembering crossovers that never happened and moving through the histories of both teams.

The JLA/Avengers crossover continues as both teams race to get the cosmic items of power first in order to win the Grandmaster's game. But if one team wins, everybody loses! And can Krona be counted on to uphold his end of the bargain if he loses?

We're hitting it about a year before it should come up in our timeline, but it made sense to do it after we finished the Kurt Busiek run on the main title...that's right, it's the four issue Avengers and JLA crossover from 2003 by Busiek and George Perez! And it's an excuse to have Jason and John talk about some DC characters! This issue is a lot of table setting, but we discuss the Justice League and a ton of DC characters and get that table setting out of the way so we can get i...

Daryl Lawrence of the X-Factor Files has written a book about Alpha Flight (True North, available from Barnes & Noble) and we thought we'd use that as an opportunity to talk about the crossover from the 1980's when the Avengers and Alpha Flight teamed up to save Marrina from Attuma! We saw one issue of it in Avengers #272, but there were a ton of Alpha Flight issues leading up to that one Avengers issue, and we're here to discuss them all! You can (and should) preorder Daryl's book ...

<sniff, sniff> We are sad, as we examine the last two issues of Kurt Busiek's historic run on the book, one finishing up the Kang War and the other showing the inner workings of the Maria Stark Foundation (Avengers vs accountants!)!
