The God of Thunder faces the fury of living planets!

But there will be no happy reunion at the end of his journey - for when Ego and Alter-Ego meet, only one can survive...and Earth surely will be destroyed. Only Thor has power enough to avert the pending apocalypse - but to do so, he'll have to rely on the help of a wind goddess with questionable motives...and a stormy history with the God of Thunder.

Learn how the fledgling Avengers dealt with the Masters of Evil, Kang the Conqueror and more before bolstering their ranks with hot-tempered archer Hawkeye, mysterious warrior monarch Black Panther and the strange android the Vision. But with the Panther juggling his kingly duties, Vision striving for public acceptance and Goliath descending into madness, could these heroes stay together long enough to defeat the agents of A.I.M., the Circus of Crime and the Super-Adaptoid? Paying reverence to the original Avengers mythos, Joe Casey and artists Scott Kolins and Will Rosado reveal new stories of the group's earliest trials and triumphs, presented in a thoroughly modern light.
