[[caption-width-right:350:Avengers Assemble]]
After the weekly ''ComicBook/AvengersNoSurrender'' event, Marvel relaunched ComicBook/TheAvengers into their eighth volume, a ComicBookRun written by Creator/JasonAaron. This run returns to a [[Film/TheMagnificentSeven1960 Magnificent Seven]]-style team, featuring Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, She-Hulk and Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes). Arcs feature a rotating, temporary eighth member; for example; the first arc stars Doctor Strange, while the third focuses on Blade.
Among the storylines in this title are [[Characters/Avengers1000000BC a secret early incarnation of the Avengers at the dawn of human history]], a vampire civil war, a new ComicBook/SquadronSupreme under the command of the United States of America, and the return of the Phoenix. Across the many stories, however, lies the threat of Mephisto, who seems to be pulling the strings against many of the threats the team encounters.
Notable Storylines created during this run include:
* ''ComicBook/HeroesReborn2021''
* ''ComicBook/AvengersForever2021''
The run also produced some spin-off titles, such as ''ComicBook/WinterGuard'' and ''ComicBook/PhoenixSongEcho''.
!Tropes:
* AllianceOfAlternates: In the Moon Knight arc, every Mephisto that Spector kills is replaced by another one, implicitly from a parallel universe based on their thematic clothing and appearance.
* AlienSky: Once Moon Knight helps Khonshu conquer the world and rewrite it entirely to its own ends, the Earth has multiple alien moons clustered together on top its native one.
* AllYourPowersCombined: The first story arc is resolved when the Avengers initiate a Uni-Mind to combine all their disparate strengths and fend off the Dark Celestials.
* AmazonChaser: Jennifer's new appearance is quite brutish, starkly contrasted to her previous appearance and closer to her cousin. Even so, Ulik and other trolls finds her incredibly attractive, especially while she's beating them into the ground.
* AuthorTract: Issue 20 was a jab to audiences who found how Aaron handled She-Hulk to be a DorkAge, with Jen stating that while Bruce envied her for being accepted and she yelled at him about how it resulted at being lusted after and she didn't want to go back to being the old She-Hulk. It should also be noted, going by a tie-in for ''ComicBook/ImmortalHulk'', that this view isn't even shared by people ''within'' Marvel itself, the special going out of its way to say Jen's still suffering from the events of ''ComicBook/CivilWarII'' and ''Immortal'' itself. [[spoiler:And was a moot point, given the end of "World War She-Hulk" ended with Jen returning to being the classic She-Hulk.]]
* ButNowIMustGo: After telling Thor that she's his mother and having him accept, Firehair tells him that she has to go as the Phoenix has selected a new avatar but she hopes that they will have more chances to see each other in the future.
* BystanderSyndrome: The leader of the Squadron Supreme admits that they can defeat the ComicBook/WarOfTheRealms with no problem, but he's only concerned about protecting the US from it. And the rest of the world? Someone else's problem.
* CerebusRetcon: Jennifer is rather controversially characterized as having long running resentment of being objectified by friend and foe alike constantly. This is a major contrast to her confidence and joy at the freedom and beauty that She-Hulk granted her. She's somewhat happy that now she gets to "be ugly".
* CharacterExaggeration: In an issue where the inner monologues of the Avengers are on display, Thor is shown to be ''exceedingly'' insecure about being worthy of Mjolnir and constantly worrying if he can pick it up again whenever he sets it down. It's ambiguous if this is toned down later or we're just not aware of his inner monologue anymore.
* TheCorruption: The Horde have become more proactive in their war against the Celestials and started acting as a sort of infection to usurp control of their bodies and minds, turning them into Dark Celestials.
* CosmicHorrorReveal: Earth's potential for superhumanity is revealed to be due to a Celestial dying on the planet in its earliest days, from an infection by the Horde, its cosmically radioactive body fluids leaking out into the plant's very foundation. The celestial equivalent of its lover sought revenge, only to be infected itself, the Horde now having learned how to [[PuppeteerParasite puppet its body]] without killing it. To one day combat this, the Celestials deliberately cultivated Earth's potential as a kind of petri dish for a cure to the Horde infection. The Eternals were engineered to steward this development until its completion, teaching the superpowered populace how to combine their strength in a Uni-Mind.
* CurbStompBattle: Namor is heavily implied to have given one to [[spoiler:Echo during their match in the Phoenix tournament.]]
* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:Agent Coulson]] seems to have struck one with Mephisto to [[spoiler:both resurrect himself and give him control over the new Squadron Supreme.]]
* DreamTeam: Except for Ghost Rider and She-Hulk, all core members are leading stars of MCU blockbusters.
* EnemyCivilWar: Dracula will no longer be the lord of vampires, which causes other vampires rush to take the throne.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Phil Coulson]] is alive again, but he's a villain now.
* GiantCorpseWorld: The new base of operations for the team, called [[https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Avengers_Mountain Avengers Mountain]], is the body of the first Celestial on Earth that died from Horde infection, erected as a gift from the Celestials to the world, a symbol of life's wonder and a warning of what'll happen if anyone tries to snuff it out. The remains have a lot of useful properties that can be applied to their needs.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: In the opening arc the Eternals are revealed to have all gone insane and killed each other after learning their true purpose intended by the Celestials. [[ComicBook/Eternals2021 They all got better eventually]].
* GreaterScopeVillain: Mephisto claims to have been behind several misfortunes of the Avengers over the years.
* InNameOnly: The "Heroes Reborn" arc bears no resemblance or relation to the [[ComicBook/HeroesReborn 90s story arc of the same name]]; instead, it features a Marvel Universe where the Avengers never formed and the Squadron Supreme are Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
* LegionOfDoom: Issue #50 introduces the Multiversal Masters of Evil comprised of Doom Supreme (a Doctor Doom who became Sorcerer Supreme), Dark Phoenix and a feral Wolverine, Young Thanos, King Killmonger (a Killmonger that took over both Wakanda and Asgard), the Ghost Goblin (a Norman Osborn with the powers of a Ghost Rider) and the Black Skull (a Red Skull possessing the Venom symbiote)
* LetsYouAndHimFight: The Phoenix force returns to Earth, takes a number of potential hosts and pits them against each other in a tournament, each one enhanced by a portion of its power.
* LukeIAmYourFather: The Phoenix Force, [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith in the form of Lady Phoenix from One Million BC]] (either that, or the spirit of the actual Lady Phoenix) tells [[spoiler:Thor "I've come to tell you everything. My son."]]
* PowerParasite: Moon Knight returns with Ankh charms enchanted Khonshu to steal the various supernatural powers of the Avengers. With this he effortlessly curb stomps the team, the only hiccup being T'Challa, whose power can't be taken but must be relinquished willingly.
* RaceLift: Much like in ''ComicBook/SupremePower'', the new Nighthawk is African-American.
* ReplacementFlatCharacter: Hulk could not be used here because he was being used in ''ComicBook/ImmortalHulk'', a comic with an horror theme and complex plots that do not fit the tone of this run. She-Hulk is used as a replacement, but not the way readers know her, instead as a musclebound brute and HulkSpeak even calling herself Hulk now.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Inverted; In issue 46, Gorilla Man betrays the Avengers to the Winter Guard under the promise that they'll [[WhoWantsToLiveForever kill him afterwards]]. While Ursa Major, who was secretly allied with the Avengers, is executed before their departure by Red Widow, she only sarcastically pretends to shoot Hale, leaving him crestfallen at betraying everyone for nothing. Hale is only alive because if anyone killed him, they'd take on [[BalefulPolymorph his curse]].
* RippleEffectProofMemory: During "Heroes Reborn", Blade and Echo are the only ones to remember the Marvel Universe that was.
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: The Phoenix arc has a tournament between several heroes and villains, and the winner would get the full power of the Phoenix. [[spoiler:However, Phoenix ended it all before the final fights concluded and hand-picked instead Echo, who had already been defeated]]
* ShowDontTell: Aaron wants you to know what a huge threat the Final Host. He does this primarily by telling you so again and again and again.
* SixthRanger: A selling point was that there would be an eighth member slot, rotating out on an arc-by-arc basis:
** The first arc guest stars Doctor Strange, as he is with T'Challa as they're investigating a Celestial corpse in South Africa.
** The third features Blade coordinating the Avengers' efforts against the vampire civil war.
** The sixth features Deathlok, Jane Foster and Namor as the Multiversal Masters of Evil attack.
* TakeThatAudience:
** The fandom complaints about Jane Foster's Thor (also by Aaron) are voiced in-universe by Ulik. The literal King of the Trolls. Subtle.
** Issue 20 was a similar one to people who criticized his handling of She-Hulk.
* TookALevelInBadass: Blade, the Black Widow and She-Hulk all get upgrades for Aaron's run. Blade has a baby version of Man-Thing called Boy-Thing. This lets him teleport and with some outside help, he was also able to get a wooden pistol that shoots bullets capable of injuring something as invulnerable as the Cosmic Ghost Rider. Black Widow took part in the battle for the Star-Brand and she gets herself a missile and energy weapon focused variant of the War Machine armor, the War Widow. She-Hulk has a few more extra gamma ray powers, including releasing it in a surrounding blast and [[BreathWeapon breathing out a stream of it]].
* TheRunnerUpTakesItAll: The new Phoenix avatar is [[spoiler:Echo. She actually lost her bout against Namor, but it turns out the Phoenix Force didn't care about who's the strongest or who won their match. The Phoenix Force wanted someone who's emotionally compatible with it and it also found Maya's martial mimicking ability interesting.]]
* TournamentArc: The Phoenix Force orchestrates one to determine who will be its new host.
* TouchedByVorlons: Jennifer goes through a drastic change in her gamma mutation from touching the corpse of a Celestial, apparently intentional in their inscrutable wisdom to empower her against stronger threats. [[spoiler:She loses this after she saves Atlantis from a gamma bomb.]]
* VaguenessIsComing: All over the place. Story arcs usually open with someone antagonizing the Avengers only to later reveal that they're fighting as preparation against a worse threat soon to reveal itself.
