Written by Joe Casey. Art by Scott Kolins and Will Rosado. Cover by Scott Kolins.

The Avengers - once assembled, few enemies could overcome their combined might. But how did five disparate heroes form such a legendary group?

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.

By Jeffery A Brown.

What do the comic book figures Static, Hardware, and Icon all have in common? Black Superheroes, Milestone Comics, and Their Fans gives an answer that goes far beyond "tights and capes." Milestone was the brainchild of four young black creators who wanted to part from the mainstream and do their stories their own way. Milestone focused on the African American heroes in a town called Dakota. Milestone's creators aimed for exceptional stories that addressed racial issues without alienating readers. Tracing the company's history and discussing its creators, their works, and the fans, this book gauges Milestone alongside other black comic book publishers, mainstream publishers, and the history of costumed characters.

While the second comic book revolution can accurately be stated to have begun with the Fantastic Four in 1961, the focal point of that period would have to narrow down to one character who epitomized the new trend towards "humanized" superheroes.

Then along came a spider.... Take a look at the early years, history, the influence of the Romitas (Sr. & Jr.), and much more as Comics File Magazine puts the spotlight on Spider-Man!
