East Coast vs. West Coast Avengers in a nice ol' game of softball. But of course, someone has to crash the party…
The Silver Surfer arrives with the warning that one of the Elders of the Universe plans to murder the Avengers. The Silver Surfer takes the West Coast Avengers to the Colector’s ship where they learn that they must die to confront the Grandmaster and save the East Coast Avengers!
As the East Coast Avengers arrive in death’s realm, the Grandmaster tells them that the Collector is using the West Coast Avengers to make a deal with death so that he never dies. What follows is a battle of Avenger vs Avenger with Iron Man vs Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau not Carol Danvers) with Iron Man getting the upper hand.
Captain America vs Mockingbird with Cap winning this battle to even it out at 1 to 1
Silver Surfer goes to confront Death to try and get her to send the Avengers and him back to the world of the living since she is above even elders of the Universe and he meets her gaze and the Silver Surfer Screams!
And the one on one battles continue with Dr. Pym vs the Wasp! Dr. Pym wins this round by using his knowledge of her fighting style to trick her into thinking she won and grabbing her
The heavy hitters step up, the Mighty Thor vs Wonder Man! Thor takes down Wonder Man to even it back up at 2 to 2
Tigra is taking on Dr. Druid and Dr. Druid with the win by using telekinesis after his illusions failed to trick Tigra
Now it is time for battle of the Knights, Black Knight vs Moon Knight! Moon Knight throws everything at the Black Knight but wins by tricking the Black Knight into thinking he had killed him with his ebony blade!
And finally it is Hawkeye vs She-Hulk, Hawkeye with the win by making She-Hulk breath in a bunch of gas after running out of breathe under water and the West Coasters win 4 to 3!
And as the Avengers all come back to where the Grandmaster is, his real plan to trap Death herself is revealed!!!
Continued in Avengers Annual 16!
