"The popular [graphic novel] Avengers Forever (which Stern co-wrote) took a great deal of inspiration from this ... storyline that involved alternate time-lines and a battle between Kang and Immortus -- with the Avengers stuck in the middle!" -- Brian Cronin
"The volume shows Stern at the top of his form as a writer, cleaning up continuity while also forging a fascinating story without over-indulging in nostalgia and minutiae ... with Buscema and Palmer doing a fine job. Kang multiplies. He divides. I'd like an omnibus that contains all of his appearances. Would that be too much to ask?" -- Jonathan Stover
"One of the best runs on the Avengers ever. I really hope we get to see more of the stories from this era collected as they are in my opinion the quintessential Avengers." -- David Muenchrath
"Roger had the Midas touch with just about everything he wrote for Marvel. Spider-Man, Avengers, Hulk, Doctor Strange, you name it." -- J.M. DeMatteis
