Two stories in one book: MARVEL ADVENTURES THE AVENGERS #1. When global threats surface, they have to contend with the combined might of: Captain America, Storm, Iron Man, The Hulk, Giant-Girl, Wolverine, and Spider-Man. Still, powers higher-up think their new computerized defenses will be even more reliable than our heroes. X-MEN: FIRST CLASS #1. For millions of years, mankind's place on Earth was unchallenged...until five young people paved the way for a new kind of human. While students at the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Angel, Beast and Iceman taught the world what it meant to be X-Men. These are the hidden stories of the team that laid the foundation of a mutant dynasty.
