Avengers Initiative #27
Blastaar's alien army has seized 42, the Initiative's prison in the Negative Zone. Someone has to take it back, and the Taskmaster has assembled a team to do just that. But when Komodo looks around her at the squad of Z-list super-villains she's supposed to go into battle with, she wonders if this is a recovery job...or a suicide mission! And when she encounters familiar faces who had been incarcerated within the prison, will they be friend or foe? Also, because you demanded it--the return of Butterball!

What do I love about Avengers stories? With an Avengers story, the premise hinges on a shared universe. Which Avengers book does that better, or at least different, than every other Avengers book? INITIATIVE. plus, it manages to do so while keeping its own continuity and canon of concepts.

I've enjoyed the entire run so far but this book has flourished a little better in the past. All I say say is more Butterball!!!

ah the first story broke my heart. really sad. second was pritty good too. also think it will help lead to the downfall of norman latter.

Man that first story was heartbreaking but really well told. Great issue!

Almost gave this a 5, but part two wasn't quite strong enough.

@skeets: Yeah Marvel has a really bad habit of doing that.

I tried to drop this series at the end of the last arc, but then I found myself buying it anyway. This title is just much too fun to miss.
