Patrick, really nice cover of Swordsman! Congrats!

Probably the best story page from this storyline - those characters were creepy, And this storyline is still impacting the MCU, via Loki, I think...

I know that feeling of childhood nostalgia! Great Beast panels!

Classic Perez. Abundant Krackle! (and Wondy too!)

NIce!

Love the ish too, but on this page we are treated to a stone Dane Whitman, and an excellent rendering of Namor.

A better Avengers page than many Avengers' pages at that time! A page from that issue would be a real grail for me!

Maria Stark as an AI? 50 years ahead of its time - beautiful!

Zuvembie Comes Alive!

Extra level creepiness from the Toad posing as the Stranger...and echoes back to an early Avengers issue with the Wasp gravely injured and Hank feeling helpless....

The sparkles off the metaillic surfaces and the Perez krackle are such satisfying visuals, and this page has them in abundance! Beautiful.

Great page! I actually love the top left panel , creating a sense of smallness and helpnessless against the biggest threat in this crossover. It lends power to the rest of the page, with the action exploding.

Iconic splash ! A real sense of majesty..

Another slice oif history! I always thought Modred might be a good Avenger..

One of the funniest moments in Avengers history, perhaps unintenionally so! Great!

Very dramatic page, nice!

Lots of energy on this page! 

Congrats Patrick! This page has it all!! Two third splash with each of the life or death battles, just gorgeous!

One of Bob Brown's best pages!

Great page Steve!

Love this page! Avengers/Defenders War, the biggest cross-over ever up to that point. The fact that Cap and Subby hadn't clashed since Avengers #4 says something - more than 100 issues!

Great split splash! IRC this came out around the same time as Jaws - a lot to fear in the ocean!

Greg, thanks for the comment! This is one page that really makes me smile every time I look at it. Agree about Space Phantom's evilness - never really understood his beef with the Avengers, but it carried over into much later storylines as well. - Andy

Judging by his expression, Galactus is not impressed - but I am!!!

I think Klaus Janson really is bring the best out of Bob Brown! Great splash from a key storyline!

Beautiful and very vulnerable Scarlet Witch.. Great piece!

I had forgotten this appearance! Great action page!

Great page - aside from the fabulous Perez art, this page contrasts Ms Marvel and Wonderman. Wonderman's fear of death was a major plot point. Also, got to love the Perez gleem on Iron Man's armor, a styistic tell from that era. 

Nice one, Robert!!

Love this page! 

Perez Beast is my favorite!

Mint! A beauty!

Beautiful, beautiful page! A key cosmic issue...foundational, really.

Battle Royale!! Great tribute page! Beautiful!

The pages announcing a new line-up always gave a big thrill! An essential part of the Avengers was the ever-changing roster. And early Perez is still my favorite!

Nice add! Agree on the value...

Beautiful piece which really captured the mood of the nation at the time it came out.

Pure joy! Whatever the design choices, it was a blessing to have Kirby back on Avengers, even if it was only a few covers like this! 

The absolute definition of a grail page! Big congratulations!

"The Power of the Scarlet Witch", indeed!! Also love seeing Swordsman and Mantis by Buscema...

 by my reckoning this page is still early Perez but even one-two years into his Avengers stint he shows tremendous growth.

Who doesn't love Dead Avengers, especially when brought back to life by Perez?!

Small tweek to Hawkeye's costume, and he blends in perfectly with the cowboys! Love the interaction between the "gods" and cowboys! Prime early Perez! 

Jocasta is one of my favorites - underappreciated as an Avenger but beautifully rendered by Perez as seen here... and he makes the safari jacket Wonderman costume look cool too!
