Another DK Publication but aimed at the younger market. There have been a lot of Avengers over the years and we managed to cram most of them into one volume.
The Marvel Universe was going through tremendous changes at the time courtesy of the Siege storyline with more characters than usual dying and coming back from the dead – so a few characters popped their clogs while it was at the printers (and a few more came back from the dead).
I’m sure before Jean Grey was found in a cocoon heroes and villains used to stay dead… The book’s a good starting point for younger readers who want a Top Trumps style compendium of assembled Avengers. Just wish Ben Grimm had joined a few months before we went to print and not the week after…
