The tradition that started with the first Annual between Avengers and West Coast Avengers' books last year continues with Annual 2 where the scene is once more baseball/ softball between the two teams except before the game can proceed more than a wee bit, there is a CRASH and out springs Silver Surfer blasting something into the sky sending the Avenger on the diamond (field) collapsing. When they got to their feet, the Surfer explained the oddities that he encountered in space ... and that was when he realized that not all the Avengers were on the diamond. So he failed to protect those in the dug-out and they were ... dead!
What is this about?
Well, they took a journey into space to meet the Collector who quickly explained about the madness going on between the Grandmaster (another elder of the universe and we have seen in the movies) who is playing one of his crazy games and is supposedly dead while his brother Elder, the Collector is trying to free him
Naturally our Avengers (as this is part 1) is quick to jump to the fray and journey to the realm of the Dead to fight against their fellow Avengers and each party believe themselves to be in the right and fighting for the survival of the other ...
In order to ensure there is a part 2, SPOILER ALERT, both teams were actually duped into the nonsense that is the Elders and their games because at the end, it was revealed (though not entirely) that the plan was to drag Death into the conflict but to what dastardly end? Well, you have to buy the other annual to get the full answer.
