The sh*t hits the fan, so to speak. As the Avengers are all out attending to personal matters (in the wake of Namor's departure and the Quicksilver debacle of the Annuals), a sinister plot unfolds that leaves the mansion in the hands of...

But that would be telling. And I'll inevitably reveal it in the next couple of days. What's for sure is that things are going to get brutal and unpleasant for the Avengers over the next couple of issues. In the same way that Mr. Stern offers us a wonderful example of how a team like the Avengers works, he's equally as adept at showing us what their opposite team works like. And opposite in every way - as good as the Avengers are, the mansion conquerors are evil.
