17. Judgment Day - Roger Stern etc.  Stinging from the assault on their HQ by the Masters of Evil, the Avengers are not in the best shape mentally.  Wasp wants to step down as leader, and some of the new recruits, like Dr. Druid, aren't exactly fitting in.  Then, they are attacked by the Greek gods, who have been tricked into thinking Hercules' wounds are the result of the Avengers themselves.  After they talk their way past Zeus, it's into an another adventure, battling for the X-Men and the Soviet Super-Soldiers to get custody of Magneto.  Also, the Grandmaster puts the Avengers in battle with the Legion of the Dead for all the stakes.  Finally, Dr. Doom conquers the entire world by using the Purple Man's powers, but he finds it isn't all it's cracked up to be.  I enjoy Stern's soap opera super-heroics; this is a good read.  Library.  [3.5]
