It sees the beginning of Brian Michael Bendis' Avengers run with the destruction of the existing traditional roster, and exile of several key members of the team. The storyline includes a number of subplots, some of which take place prior to and after the storyline, which depict other changes to the status quo: Iron Man once again closeting his secret identity, Spider- Man developing organic webshooters (as in the Sam Raimi film trilogy), and the death of Thor and Asgard in one final Ragnarok.
