My favorite Avengers stories

This post on IGN (http://comics.ign.com/articles/122/1224129p5.html) on the 25 greatest Avengers stories got me thinking about some of my favorite Avengers stories (and yes, they're a bit biased towards the 1980s, go figure). In no particular order...

• Knights of Wundagore (Avengers #185-187)

• Avengers Under Siege (Avengers #273-277)

• West Coast Avengers (Avengers #250, West Coast Avengers limited series)

• The Redemption of Hank Pym (Avengers #227-230)

• Avengers by Busiek and Perez (in particular the Ultron Unlimited story line Avengers (1998) ##19-22 & #0)

• Spider-Man - An Avenger? (Avengers #236-237)

• JLA Vs. Avengers

• The Final Threat (Avengers Annual #8 and Marvel Two-In-One Annual #2)

• Skrull Civil War (Avengers Annual #14 and Fantastic Four #19)

• Squadron Sinister (Avengers #70-71)
