COLLECTING: Avengers (1963) #238-254, Avengers Annual (1967) #13 Written by Roger Stern With Ann Nocenti Penciled by Al Milgrom & Bob Hall With Steve Ditko & Carmine Infantino "After Secret Wars, the Vision -- who had been severely injured during a crossover with the Fantastic Four -- recovered and asked to be made leader of the Avengers. He made some sweeping changes, including the installation of a second Avengers team, leading to the West Coast Avengers. As it turned out, all of these moves were part of an overall plan to take over the world for its own protection. Naturally, the Avengers took issue with this and had to take on their own teammate." -- Brian Cronin "Roger Stern is probably the greatest Avengers writer ever ... the book has never been as great as when he was the regular writer for that title. It was so compelling." -- Juan Meyer "[Roger Stern is] one of the best writers to have worked in the business. When he wrote the Avengers, everything he wrote was great ... [Stern's] focus on characterization not only makes his books more interesting, but they are more relatable and closer to the way books are written today, rather than the fight fests they were in the 70′s and 80′s." -- Thomas Morrison "Roger Stern's brilliant run on the title kicks into high gear with his long gestating Absolute Vision storyline. There is no reason to not own this material, folks. Stern is on the Mount Rushmore of great Avengers writers, alongside Roy Thomas, Kurt Busiek, and Steve Englehart." -- Kris Shaw "The pace never let up in this stretch. Stern did a fantastic job of pacing all the events and of depicting the Vision's paranoia and descent into monomania. The concern of other members, especially the Scarlet Witch, provided a compelling emotional backdrop. Milgrom did his usual strong, clean work, but departed after the 250th issue. Bob Hall stepped in to handle art on the final few issues of the Vision story, bringing it to a strong close. Overall, a highly recommended read." -- Brian C. Poole "Stern's magnum opus has to be his run on Avengers. Stern's Avengers are a showcase in how a team book should work and evolve. Its membership flowing organically from adventure to adventure, while making sure the nature of the action was determined by the individual characters' personalities and the way they'd interact with one another." -- Jef Willemsen "Al Milgrom is tops on my list of under-appreciated artists. His classical style was well-matched to the subject matter. In film terms, [he] is a fantastic director. He always knows exactly where to set up his camera, how to frame his shots, and how to get the most effective performances from his actors. Every page tells the story with crystal clarity, and your eye moves through the page effortlessly. Milgrom choreographs both action and exposition so that the reader always has a clear spatial understanding of where people are and what's happening." -- Andy Ihnatko Roger Stern enjoyed well-regarded runs on Amazing Spider-Man , in which he introduced Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau) and the Hobgoblin; Avengers ;  Captain America ; and Doctor Strange . He launched West Coast Avengers and wrote numerous tie-in miniseries starring Earth's Mightiest Heroes. At DC, he relaunched the Atom and co-created Starman (Will Payton) before participating in one of comics' most legendary sagas: the Death of Superman.  He later returned to Marvel to write Amazing Spider-Man and related titles. Journalist, editor, filmmaker and more, Ann Nocenti has a long history in comics, both as a writer and an editor. As an editor at Marvel, she oversaw such titles as New Mutants and Uncanny X-Men . As a writer, she has worked for both Marvel ( Longshot , Spectacular Spider-Man, Wolverine ) and DC ( Batman , Kid Eternity , Green Arrow, Catwoman ), but is probably best known for her groundbreaking run with John Romita Jr. on Daredevil .   Al Milgrom , A.K.A. "Editori-Al," is renowned as writer, editor, penciler and inker -- and held most of those positions on Spectacular Spider-Man . He also contributed to Amazing Spider-Man . He penciled West Coast Aven
