Trapped on the Pathway to Infinity, Earth's Mightiest Heroes face Pluto and the hordes of Hades in a desperate life-and-death struggle! But thanks to the awesome power of Captain Marvel and the Prince of Asgard, the Avengers dramatically escape the Netherworld and return to Olympus! Hold on though, that's like jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire! Are the seven avengers ready to battle Zeus again? Wisely the crescent city avenger decides on a different course of action…diplomacy! And with great success the Sub-Mariner and Thor recruit Aphrodite, Athena, Apollo, and Hephaestus to their side!
