    Collecting for the FIRST TIME the inaugural Avengers/T-Bolts crossover, in time for this month's all-new AVENGERS/THUNDERBOLTS #1! The T-Bolts and Earth's Mightiest Heroes stand side-by-side against Count Nefaria, master of ionic energy! But before they can confront the Count, they'll have to deal with their own ion-empowered teammates, Atlas and Wonder Man - both of whom have fallen under Nefaria's thrall and now act as his henchmen.

    Featuring the JLA/AVENGERS team of KURT BUSIEK & GEORGE PÉREZ!
