Dark Avengers 1-16+annual

Dark Avengers was the hit-series about a team of Avengers formed by the mind of Norman Osborn. It featured villains (most of them former team-members of the Thunderbolts) who took on the identities of famous heroes, while still staying their own evil selves. The team was backed by Norman Osborn's inelegance agency H.A.M.M.E.R.. The series was a huge hit, but only lasted for the length of the "Dark Reign" era, for a total of 16 issues and one annual. In recent issues of the second "New Avengers" series, a new team of Dark Avengers is born.
