Gathering together to face Loki, Marvel's greatest heroes -- Iron Man,
Thor, Hulk, Ant-Man and the Wasp -- formed comics' greatest team: the
Avengers! They were joined by Captain America soon after, and there was
no doubt these were Earth's Mightiest Heroes! But Marvel heroes don't
just battle villains, they live, breathe, argue...and even fall out. And
in an innovative twist, Stan Lee eventually chose to have those
original Avengers depart, leaving Captain America to carry on! Hawkeye,
Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch -- all conflicted villains -- became
Cap's new recruits, transforming the Avengers into a dynamic,
unpredictable and exciting quartet! So grab a copy of this Epic
Collection, and experience the origins and permutations of the world's
most-famous super team from the very beginning! Collecting AVENGERS

Marvel Masterworks: The Uncanny X-Men Volume 9
Written by CHRIS CLAREMONT
Penciled by PAUL SMITH, FRANK MILLER & BRENT ANDERSON with WALTER
SIMONSON & MICHAEL GOLDEN
Cover by PAUL SMITH
The Uncanny X-Men had become the biggest franchise in comic books by
1982. Chris Claremont's writing rose to find perhaps his most poignant
and challenging expression of the mutant metaphor in "God Loves, Man
Kills," while his work with Frank Miller on WOLVERINE skyrocketed the
character's popularity. With culmination of Paul Smith's classic
run--featuring the growing romance between Kitty Pryde and Colossus, the
first appearance of Callisto and the Morlocks, Rogue's debut as an
X-Man, and the wedding of Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor--this Marvel
Masterworks is nothing short of a marathon of mutant milestones!
Collecting UNCANNY X-MEN (1981) #168-175, UNCANNY X-MEN ANNUAL (1970)
#7, MARVEL GRAPHIC NOVEL #5 and WOLVERINE (1982) #1-4.

return of the Jedi to Marvel in an opening volume that begins with A NEW
HOPE and ends with THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. In between, the rebels face

hunter Beilert Valance, as well as a surprisingly svelte Jabba the Hut
(one "t"). Luke goes back to Tatooine, Leia battles alone, Han and
Chewie play the deadly Big Game, and Darth Vader hunts for answers! With
