Shocking revelations and the tragic fall of one of their own rock the Avengers to their core in this infamous chapter in the team's history!
It’s a new era for the Avengers as the order changeth and Jim Shooter and a host of creative luminaries force Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to contend with harrowing challenges like the near-infinite power of the Molecule Man, the manipulative Moondragon and the Masters of Evil. A whole new lineup, including Hawkeye, She-Hulk and surprise inductee Tigra, changes the dynamic, but nothing could alter the field more than the court-martial one of the Avengers’ own. Earth’s Mightiest Heroes also face off against the Defenders in an Annual adventure. Capping off this volume is the Vision and Scarlet Witch miniseries. In it, Vizh and Wanda’s attempts at suburban bliss are rocked by deep revelations including the identity of Wanda’s true father!

James Charles Shooter was an American writer, editor and publisher in the comics industry. Beginning his career writing for DC Comics at the age of 14, he had a successful but controversial run as editor-in-chief at Marvel Comics, and launched comics publishers Valiant, Defiant, and Broadway.
I know Jim Shooter had his issues (pun intended), but when he was on his game, he could spin a yarn. There's a great mix of personal drama and pulse-pounding action to be found here--sort of like Bingo night at the local VFW.
