The Avengers are lost in time -- and if they have any hope of stopping Mephisto's grand plan, they'll need help from some mighty champions from different eras. Legends whose stories have never been told...until now! Like the mystical man of war, Sgt. Szardos, Soldier Supreme of World War II -- and his squadron of supernatural grunts, the Secret Invaders! The fabled Ghost Ronin of Japan's Edo Period -- they say he walks by night, wielding a blade forged by hellfire...and where the Samurai of Vengeance wanders, the penance flows, like fountains of blood! And, in the Old West, the legendary Reno Phoenix and the Starbrand Kid! Is that enough to force a showdown with the forces of Mephisto? Or will the Avengers be trapped in the past forever? Featuring the long-awaited return of the Avenging archer, Hawkeye!
