Fan-favorite creators Kurt Busiek and George Pérez continue their defining run on Earth's Mightiest Heroes! When you're an Avenger, you're one of Earth's Mightiest Heroes - the first line of defense against the dangers no conventional foe could halt. Threats including the Thunderbolts, Dominex, Lord Templar, Pagan and the Wrecking Crew! Then: Every man, woman and child in Slorenia is dead, eliminated with the cold precision of a machine. And out of the flaming remants of this tiny Baltic state comes a message from its murderer: Ultron has returned! Never before has Ultron been this dangerous, this deadly, as he stands on the brink of committing global genocide and rebuilding earth in his own robotic image. Our only hope is a desperate U.N. strike on Slorenia, led by the Avengers themselves. But will it be in time? Will the strength and courage of Earth's Mightiest Heroes be enough in the face of such overwhelming evil? For the sake of the world, it will have to be!

The Hulk is gone - transformed back into Bruce Banner, seemingly forever. But Banner knows the Hulk never stays buried. He knows he must prepare. Banner locates Skaar, the Hulk's half-alien son, who burns for revenge on his father. But he's not nearly a match for the Hulk. So now it's up to Banner to train the boy - to kill him once and for all! Plus: Red Hulk wants to put a big red hurt on the Intelligencia, and he'll need Banner to do it. But Red Hulk hates Banner, and the feeling is most definitely mutual. What plans has Rulk been hiding from everyone? What does all this have to do with the Cosmic Hulk robot? And with the Leader's Intelligencia corrupting even the powerful intellects of Reed Richards and Dr. Doom, can a house of Hulks divided do anything but fall? Guest-starring Spider-Man, Wolverine, Hank Pym's Mighty Avengers, Thor and more!

He's outrun Norman Osborn, and kept the database of superhuman secret identities safe and secure. But in doing so, Tony Stark has lost just about everything: his armor, his power - even his very mind. Now, at his absolute lowest point, it will take Tony's last reservoir of will - and a band of brothers including Thor, Captain America, War Machine and Black Widow - to keep from losing it all and sow the seeds for a brighter tomorrow. Stark Industries' arms-manufacturing days are over: Tony's new company, Stark Resilient, is bringing modern tech to the masses without bringing innocent people to their knees. But there's a competitor on the scene, a mother/daughter team with a very familiar name ready to pick up the slack with an armor called Detroit Steel. They've started a deadly game of international intrigue that will bring one of Iron Man's deadliest foes back into the fray - but for the Hammer girls, that was merely the opening salvo. With War Machine grounded by the Pentagon, Pepper missing the RT-charged heart that made her Rescue and Tony's Resilient team struggling to put their clean-energy tech into production, they're about to up the ante. Now, Iron Man's going to find out just what "resilient" really means. Collecting INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #20-33.
