Secret War….Civil War….Secret Invasion….Dark Reign….Siege….
All these story lines have lead us to this point, the opening of The Heroic Age. Norman Osbourne has been taken out of the picture. It’s up to Steve Rogers (formally Captain America) to put things back together.
The Avengers #1 replaces New Avengers and Mighty Avengers in Marvels lineup and re-installs our heroes back into Avenger’s tower.

 Siege: Fallen Sun
Siege has ended. The good guys won. So, we are left with clean up and putting things to rest.
Here we deal with the heroes that knew The Sentry best “burying” him and giving him a proper eulogy.

 Siege #4
This is the book we’ve been waiting for. Literally. Two weeks late, the end of the year long Dark Reign storyline has finally arrived. We know the story’s end. Osbourne will be dethroned, The Sentry dealt with, and our heroes on the winning side. But, as a wise man once said, it the journey, not the destination that matters.

The interesting thing about the “linked” Avengers Siege titles (New Avengers, Dark Avengers, Mighty Avengers, etc.) is that instead of telling stories between the pages or issues of the main Siege mini-series as typical of the previous cross-overs, we are being shown what happened in the few hours right before Osbourne and H.A.M.M.E.R. attacked Asgard.

Always with the quick primer:
Ares, Zeus’ son the God of War, joined the Avengers at Tony Stark’s request when Steve Rodgers and he re-formed the Avengers after the disassembled mess. Then, after Civil Wars and Secret Invasion, Ares stayed on the team when Norman Osbourne took over ’cause like what else was he going to to do, right?
On the flip side, Nick Fury, ex-head of S.H.I.E.L.D. secretly recruited Ares’ son Alex aka Phobos, the God of Fear, into his Secret Warriors formed to counter-action Osbourne. Fury and his team have been acting as a covert group in their own book, moving from safe-house to safe-house using counter agent tactics to subvert Norman Osbourne. As this issue opens, Ares has thinks Fury has kidnapped Alex and goes to get him back. Got it?
