Description
The East coast Avengers rescue the crew of Starcore from a solar flare and run into a hostile Shi'ar fleet. They return to the Avengers' meeting where they are brought up to speed on the situation: an intergalactic war is erupting between the Kree and Shi'ar. Cap splits the Avengers into three groups: one will try to reason with the Kree empire, one will try to reason with the Shi'ar and the third will stay behind as a rear guard to protect the Earth.
