In a gleaming new world of prosperity, Captain America is no more. But Steve Rogers still exists, floating through an America where freedom is an illusion, the Avengers are strangers and his friends are long dead.
On the Avengers' darkest day, they are torn apart by one of their own and it seems like things might be over forever. But when Captain America and Iron Man unite with a surprising group of allies a new day dawns, and these heroes form the New Avengers!
When the original Avengers disband, a team of teenage heroes comes together to fill the gap. But who are Iron Lad, Hulkling, Patriot, Stature, Wiccan and Kate Bishop...and what, if any, are their connections to the heroes that inspired them?
