Other things that caught my interest included the first Captain Britain HC featuring early tales by Chris Claremont and others. This, I believe, is the first part that was also reprinted in the Captain Britain omnibus a little while ago. Matt Fraction's first Thor storyarc also gets the HC treatment along with the classic "X-Tinction Agenda" crossover. However, I'm possibly most excited about the "Mighty Avengers: Dark Reign" hardcover that collects the entire Dan Slott run. This was my favourite monthly comic from the past 5 years. Slott and gang managed to capture all the fun and idiosyncracies of the Avengers that I grew up with - particularly Steve Englehart's "West Coast Avengers".

When darkness reigns, founding Avenger Hank Pym decides the world once again needs Earth’s Mightiest Heroes! Quicksilver, USAgent, Vision, Stature, Jocasta, Hercules and Amadeus Cho answer Pym’s call — but with an oddly sinister Scarlet Witch alerting the squad to new missions, and Pym’s fixation on his deceased ex-wife drawing concern from his new teammates, can this fledgling group of Avengers overcome threats such as the chaotic Chthon, Norman Osborn’s Cabal and the deposed Inhuman monarch known only as the Unspoken? Plus: The Mighty Avengers find themselves embroiled in a grudge match against the Fantastic Four and a savage showdown with the Dark Avengers, and Pym is named the universe’s Scientist Supreme! But when Loki’s schemes come to fruition, and the Mighty Avengers must contend with the Siege of Asgard, can the team survive without its leader — and can Pym survive a confrontation with his sinister cybernetic “son,” Ultron?
