Collects the 12-issue maxi-series from the late 90s, wherein Busiek (with Roger Stern co-plotting) engages in a delicious feast of Avengers trivia and no-prizing, trying resolve in-continuity some of the outstanding plot hiccups across Avengers history.

With a team consisting of Avengers from their founding to the future, and the involvement of Kang and Immortus duking it out against each other and across history, it's far too confusing to summarize well -- you just have to lie back and enjoy it -- and it is indeed enjoyable, with plot twists, conflicted team mates (many of them drawn from a time period when they were having signficant problems), cosmic action, and some truly lovely artwork from Pacheco.

Not for the faint of heart, it's a 90 mile per hour rumpus across Avengers history ... and that's just fine by me.
