Avengers – Marvel Comics – (2013–2015) – Volume 5 – #1–44

📘 Series Summary

Avengers Volume 5, written by Jonathan Hickman, marks an era of unprecedented scale and complexity for Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Launched as part of the "Marvel NOW!" initiative, the series expanded the team's roster to a massive "Avengers Machine," designed to handle threats of a universal magnitude. The narrative centers on the concept of "Avengers World," where the team confronts ancient cosmic builders, rouge planets, and the mysterious origin sites of the Marvel Universe.

This 44-issue run is famously intertwined with New Avengers (Vol. 3), serving as one half of a massive overarching epic. Key milestones include the Infinity event, where the team takes to the stars to fight the Builders while Thanos attacks Earth, and the climactic Time Runs Out arc. The series concludes with the collapse of the Multiverse, leading directly into the 2015 Secret Wars crossover event. It is widely regarded for its "high-concept" sci-fi approach and intricate long-form plotting.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • Features the complete "high-concept" sci-fi epic written by mastermind Jonathan Hickman.
  • Introduces a massive expanded roster including Hyperion, Smasher, Captain Universe, and a new Starbrand.
  • The primary title for the Infinity crossover event and the Time Runs Out countdown.
  • Features incredible artistic collaborations with creators like Jerome Opeña, Dustin Weaver, and Leinil Francis Yu.
  • Essential reading to understand the modern foundation of the 2015 Secret Wars event.
  • A short but dense 44-issue run that redefined what an "Avengers story" could be in terms of scope and scale.
