A thrillingly dark new vision of the Avengers! In a gleaming new world of prosperity, Captain America is no more.

And how do you assemble Avengers in a world that doesn't want them? With the clock ticking down to New Year's Day, Steve must build an army to save America! Will his surviving friends sign up, or will he have to lead the ragtag group called the Defenders against the expert military marksman known as Bullseye? And can Steve infiltrate the Raft, a government facility full of secrets and danger off the shores of New York City, before the new Iron Man sentences him to the same gruesome fate as Tony Stark?
