Avengers: Under Siege
"Roger Stern and John Buscema's 1986 story arc 'Under Siege' finds Avengers Mansion under attack by a new Masters of Evil, leading to one of the purest superhero-vs.-supervillain team fights ever put on the page. Fans of this story will want to check out more of Stern's run, which is a straightforward superhero book that absorbs just a tiny bit of the grim-and-gritty comic-book movement of the late '80s." --Oliver Sava, A.V.Club.comNumber One onComic Book Resources' Poll of the 50 Greatest Avengers Stories!"A brilliant example of sub-plots simmering to the point of boiling over in an explosive succession of issues ... likely [to be] remembered as Stern's masterpiece."-- Brian Cronin, comicbookresources.com"Stern, and to an extent artist John Buscema, does his best here ... to show how it's done in a simple, concise and powerful manner. There is absolutely no doubt that it worked ...Avengers: Under Siegehas become the go-to story when it comes to one good team vs. one evil team.  Even now, twenty-five years later, it is referred to and copied over and over."-- Chris Marshall, Collected Comics Library"A classic story in every sense of the word, there can be no doubt thatUnder Siegeis the Greatest Avengers Story of All Time." --Scott Harris"These issues are hailed by many as the greatest Avengers story of all time. It featured the best super-hero work of John Buscema's career.  And nobody writes Janet Van Dyne like Roger Stern. Roger writes each character--even the villains--with distinctive voices, and he clearly loves his subjects.  It's this kind of character work, folded into a great, smash-and-bash storyline, that epitomizes everything great about Roger Stern." --Ethan Kalett
