Notes

• Last issue of the first volume of Avengers until Avengers #500.

• The Avengers next appear in Onslaught: Marvel Universe where many of them seemingly perish.

• Black Widow decides to keep patrolling the city and helping civilians (despite sustaining an injury) while the majority of the team goes to face Onslaught. She's one of the few to not "perish" in the final battle with Onslaught.
