MCG Notes:
- Iron Man #250 isn't included because the 'Acts of Vengeance' banner was added to the cover in error.
- Likewise for Silver Surfer #33 which included the legend 'Acts of Idiocy' on the cover as a joke and is often mistaken as an actual tie-in!
- Officially, it's the titles with the full 'Acts of Vengeance' banners that follow the core story. The ones with an 'Acts of Vengeance' corner logo are officially considered to be tie-ins.
- Only want to read the essentials? I've marked the issues I believe to be key to the storyline with an asterisk*.
- Read the story in its entirety, if you like. Or just read the issues featuring the characters who interest you the most!

Gilgamesh remains in Olympia, but Thena suggests an Eternal may join the Avengers' ranks in the future.
Avengers Spotlight #26[1/2] *
The Wizard and the rest of the Frightful Four are locked up in the Vault - a prison for super-villains.

The Vault's Guardsmen soon find themselves overwhelmed with escaping criminals, though one manages to get an S.O.S. out before communications go down...
Anne-Marie Hoag accepts a job with the Commission on Superhuman Activities and hands the reigns of Damage Control over to Robin Chapel, prompting Tony Stark and the Kingpin to sell Damage Control to Carlton Industries. John Porter and Bart Rozum answer the Vault's call for help only to find themselves caught up in the break-out. John's old friendship with Thunderball of the Wrecking Crew allows them to escape unharmed. The Crew defeat Captain America on their way to freedom.
Avengers Spotlight #26[2/2] *
Iron Man arrives at the scene of the break-out and starts subduing escapees. Hawkeye shows up and believes Iron Man is the cause of the break-out (seeing as he caused the last one during ARMOR WARS). The two Avengers resolve their misunderstanding, apprehend more criminals and get the Guardsmen to safety.
Captain America #365[2/2]
Cobra turns down the mysterious benefactor's offer to join in the 'Acts of Vengeance' - switching foes with other villains to increase the chances of victory - in favour of proving himself worthy of leading the Serpent Society. Knowing Mister Hyde wants him dead, he decides to confront his former ally head-on...
Captain America #366[2/2] (tie-in)
Cobra tracks down Mister Hyde two days later and turns down chances to take him down with ease to prove how capable he is. When it goes badly and Cobra finds himself in his enemy's clutches, he spits into Hyde's mouth and explains he's poisoned him...
Captain America #367[2/2] (tie-in)
Hyde relents and begs Cobra for the antidote. He gives Hyde a sedative instead, as the spit was literally just spit and he was never poisoned in the first place! He alerts the police to the unconscious Mister Hyde's location and returns to the Serpent Society to announce his upgrade to King Cobra.
New Mutants #84
The Vulture escapes prison when he's left a new set of wings in his cell. Rusty Collins uses his flame powers to get break out of his own cell and into Vulture's, grabbing him and accidentally breaking out with him. On Asgard, the New Mutants form alliances with the Warriors Three, Balder, Karnilla and Queen Ula to form an army capable of taking on Hela and the warped Valkyries, including their friend Mirage.
Rusty breaks Skids out of her cell and the pair of them escape the prison, going after the Vulture in the hope of stopping him from freeing Nitro while he stands trial. On Asgard, the New Mutants let the armies take on the Valkyries while they stop Mirage from killing Odin, freeing her from Hela's control.
New Mutants #86
For daring to emulate his work, the Vulture coerces the Tinkerer into building him a means of freeing Nitro from the canister that contains him while he stands trial. Vulture's plan to prove himself by allowing Nitro to cause chaos and kill everyone at the courthouse is interrupted by Rusty and Skids who contain Nitro's explosive powers, apparently killing him. Instead of gaining credit for defeating the Vulture, Rusty and Skids are arrested by Freedom Force. The New Mutants appear to be trapped on Asgard and a mutant terrorist group, the Mutant Liberation Front, attack an energy research facility.
Thor takes down some hi-tech bank robbers with ease, but is left with another dizzy spell. Odin only recently merged Thor with architect Eric Masterson to save his life, adding the familiar weakness of transforming from Thor to Eric if he loses contact with his hammer, Mjolnir, for more than 60 seconds. Doctor Doom employs his Time-Bot to steal Thor's hammer in the hope of using its power to free Latveria from Kristoff Vernard's control. With his hammer gone and now stuck in the form of Eric Masterson, Eric asks Hercules to help him get Mjolnir back...
Thor #410[1/2] (tie-in) *
Captain America orders She-Hulk to chaperone Hercules and the poorly disguised Eric Masterson to Latveria when they take an Avengers Quinjet as transport. Doom uses Mjolnir and the Time-Bot to create a 'time displacement cone' around Latveria so he can walk in and reclaim his throne. As Kristoff was given Doom's memories, he assumed Doom (who he believes to be an imposter) would try that approach. The two Dooms clash while She-Hulk, Hercules and Eric Masterson retrieve Mjolnir and destroy the time cone. When Kristoff explains that to destroy him would be to admit failure if he is who he says he is, throwing Doctor Doom off enough to make him leave the battle and reassess. Later, Doom is approached by a mystery man who offers him a chance to have his revenge on Thor with an 'act of vengeance'...
Doctor Strange is invited to appear on occult-themed talk show 'Hour Thirteen', unaware that Morgana Blessing has also been booked. Morgana recently released a book that exposed Doctor Strange as a practising mystic, despite his preference to keep this a secret. The live show is interrupted by the demonic Hobgoblin who attacks Strange out of the blue. Strange uses his magic to protect his secret identity and convince the Hobgoblin he's lost his demonic powers, forcing him to retreat.
Incredible Hulk #363
Doctor Doom sends the Grey Gargoyle to turn the Hulk to stone and save him for later use in the Acts of Vengeance. He tracks Bruce Banner down in Las Vegas and uses his power on him.

He covers Gray Gargoyle in tar and breaks his arm, leaving him no choice but to find a way to fix it before he becomes human again.
Hired by Doctor Doom, Graviton lifts the Daily Bugle building into the air to draw Spider-Man out. He then beats Spider-Man by hurling metal furniture at him and leaving him for dead. The Bugle staff pull Spider-Man out of the rubble to thank him for saving them, allowing the battered Peter Parker to return home.
Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme #12[1/2]
'Amora Incantare' asks to meets Doctor Strange at the top of the Empire State Building. A kiss seals the deal, but Rintrah decides to beat his master to it. He initially asks Clea to come and help, but ends up attending the meeting himself while disguised as Strange. Of course it's a trap set by the Enchantress, employed to kill Doctor Strange as part of the 'Acts of Vengeance'. Rintrah's illusion is quickly revealed and the real Strange struggles to fend off the new Executioner, but it's Clea's timely arrival that puts an end to the Enchantress' plan when she rescues her husband, Doctor Strange.
Enchantress convinces the other-dimensional Arkon to kill Doctor Strange and steal Clea for his bride. He kidnaps Clea and sets a trap that forces Strange to face him in hand-to-hand combat. Strange is outmatched, but Clea breaks free and defeats Arkon after he learns the Enchantress has betrayed him.
Spectacular Spider-Man #158
Despite having faced him before, the Trapster is given the chance to kill Spider-Man and almost succeeds. Spidey barely breaks free of his paste and goes home to lick his wounds. The 'lackey' invites the Kingpin into the elite group of Prime Movers, directing the Acts of Vengeance alongside Doctor Doom, Wizard and Magneto. Doom demands the Trapster prove he's successfully killed Spider-Man. Peter Parker is almost killed by a power surge during a dubious experiment with Professor Max Lubisch. When the Trapster returns, he soon learns he's gained new abilities including enhanced senses, total control of his webbing and lasers firing from his finger-tips. He beats the Trapster by exploding the paste pellets attached to his costume.
Doctor Doom manipulates Titania into having a rematch with Spider-Man, amping up her rage with a secret device that also measures Spidey's new abilities. Titania attacks the Daily Bugle and Spider-Man leaps into action to save the Puma who she throws through a window. Spidey's fight with Titania ends up on the streets of New York where he blasts her with energy. Doom becomes obsessed with obtaining this newfound power...
Amazing Spider-Man #327
Magneto strays from the Prime Movers' rules and confronts Spider-Man himself, believing the web-slinger's new abilities to be mutant powers kicking in. Spidey's varied abilities - including flight and transforming metal into glass - suggest to Magneto that he's not a mutant, so the Master of Magnetism leaves the scene...
A few days after the first meeting of the Prime Movers, Doctor Doom makes a wager with the Kingpin that he will easily do what the Kingpin can't and dispose of the Punisher. Now, a few days later, Doctor Doom's first attempt on the Punisher's life fails. Confused as to why Doom is attacking him, the Punisher and Microchip travel to Latveria to steal one of Doom's family heirlooms and threaten to destroy it to force him to back off. The Punisher breaks into Doomstadt - Doctor Doom's castle - only to come face-to-face with another Doctor Doom (Kristoff Vernard) who invites him to dinner.
Iron Man #251
Tony Stark and James Rhodes pay to visit to Stark Prosthetics which immediately comes under attack from the Wrecker, hired by the Kingpin to draw Iron Man out and kill him. Tony dons his armour and, after pitched battle, Wrecker gains the upper hand. Stark employee Curtis Carr (the former Chemistro) runs for help, while Rhodey causes enough of a distraction to escape Wrecker using electromagnets that attract cars to his magic crowbar, crushing him. Curtis Carr's brother arrives, but he's not here to help...
Calvin Carr is the new Chemistro and the Wizard has employed him to kill Iron Man. His power to transmute matter cost Iron Man his armour. He works with Curtis to create a jamming rifle to block his powers. Iron Man's rematch with Chemistro almost ends in his death, but Curtis uses the rifle to stop his brother and Iron Man ultimately defeats him. Now that he's the victim, Iron Man decides to look into these random attacks on heroes...

Magneto reveals to the lackey his intent to use the 'Acts of Vengeance' to crush the super-humans who stand in the way of mutant superiority.

Quasar and Stingray finish up the overnight salvage work on Avengers Island. The lackey gives the Absorbing Man a power upgrade and he uses it to steal a chunk of Adamantium to keep in his pocket.

Mister Fantastic removes the device, but is accused by Congressman James Pertierra of causing the attacks to prove his point...
Hoping to avoid the Registration Act, American super-villains start crossing the border into Canada, unaware that they're actually being summoned there by Llan the Sorcerer.

But a new group of heroes calling themselves the New Warriors emerge to take the Juggernaut on...
Captain America #366[1/2] *

Crossbones and the Voice force him to return to the Red Skull, but Captain America boards their jet and fights the Controller until they both fall from the vehicle. Cap tricks the Controller into giving him a disc. Later, the Red Skull tries to take control of the lackey using the Controller's powers, but it seems he's not easy to manipulate...
The New Warriors don't stand a chance of defeating the Juggernaut, despite their best efforts. Eventually, Thor recovers and blasts Juggernaut with Mjolnir to no effect. Instead, Thor forces him into a pit which Namorita and Nova fill with steel bars which Firestar melts. Thor teleports the melted metal to another dimension, so when Juggernaut breaks free he's no longer on Earth. The lackey is particularly angry about the Juggernaut's defeat...
Avengers Spotlight #28[2/2]
Weeks earlier, the Mad Thinker rejected the lackey's offer to join the 'Acts of Vengeance' when he figured out his identity. Today, Wasp and Wonder Man are about to give a talk about the Super-Hero Registration Act outside Congress, but Gargantua attacks before they can even begin.

Fantastic Four #336
Pertierra is revealed to be under the control of the device which hasn't completely been turned off. The device maps up, turning everyone present against the Fantastic Four.

Gorgon, Karnak and Daredevil all fall in the efforts to save her...

The cosmic-powered Spider-Man defeats the giant-sized Goliath, then heads over to see Aunt May so she can overreact to his hypothetical question about having the power of life and death. The Kingpin lures Spider-Man into a trap where Goliath - with powers amplified by Doctor Doom - has another shot at killing Spidey. Goliath grows with each cosmic blast Spider-Man fires at him until his heart gives way and he disappears into the water near Liberty Island. The sensors Doom covered Goliath with are overloaded and destroyed and Spider-Man now believes himself to be a murderer.
Wolverine #19
Wolverine tracks his captured enemy, Roughouse, to Sierra Verde where he immediately gets caught up in a conflict between the revolutionary La Bandera and Kingpin's enforcer, Tiger Shark. He drives Tiger Shark away and tries to convince La Bandera to stop using her 'inspiration' powers and return home to Florida. Wolverine breaks into drug lord President Felix Caridad's home and convinces his right-hand man, Geist, to lead him to Roughouse. Instead, Geist (who believes his foe is only posing as the dead Wolverine), leads him underground where Tiger Shark grabs Wolvey and drags him into the water of the filtration system below...
Tiger Shark embeds Wolverine claws in a coral reef and leaves him to drown. La Bandera's return to the revolution is intercepted by Geist and Tiger Shark who kill most of her followers. Wolverine breaks free and shreds Tiger Shark, sending him back to the sea. Wolverine and La Bandera rescue Roughouse and take him aboard Caridad's helicopter. Tiger Shark attacks the chopper, but Wolverine kicks him into the sharks below. It looks like good has prevailed, but Wolverine is riddled with darts fired by Geist that contain madness-inducing cocaine.
Quasar #6
Quasar easily apprehends Venom, reducing the number of suspects who might murder his cosmic boss, Eon, by one more. He receives another emergency call to apprehend Klaw in Missouri. Klaw's been assigned to attract the attention of a different foe, but Quasar quickly contains him having fought him before (during BEHOLD... GALACTUS!). The Living Laser is assigned to freeing Klaw and killing Quasar. He succeeds in releasing Klaw, but suddenly gets pulled up to the moon where he escapes Quasar through one of Uatu the Watcher's viewing portals to an alternate universe (Earth-105709). The Red Ghost was trying to steal from the Watcher, only for Quasars interference to draw attention to him. Quasar is able to apprehend Red Ghost after barely surviving their fight.
The Kingpin's personal assassin, Typhoid Mary, checks in with Doctor Doom to report her progress on the last few weeks, earning Alex Power's trust as the innocent 'Mary' while secretly turning him against his own family. Alex reunites with the rest of Power Pack as Destroyer and rescues his father when Typhoid hurls him from the roof of their apartment building. Typhoid tells Doom that the Power family turned against each other, despite that not being the case. She convinces Doom to talk about his relationship with his father and leaves, happy to have intimate knowledge of Doom's true motivations.
Amazing Spider-Man #328
In exchange for the Hellfire Club's promised destruction, Sebastian Shaw agrees to destroy Spider-Man. He pays the Hulk to drop into New York City and attract Spidey's attention, but immediately finds himself outclassed and quickly changes back to Bruce Banner when the sun rises. He attacks Spider-Man again the next night, only to be hurled into space by him. Spidey rescues him before the sun can come up and turn him back to Banner, so he departs promising not to try and kill him again. Shaw returns Banner to Nevada and begins to think Spider-Man may be a bigger threat than his nemesis, Magneto...
A week or so ago, Ecstasy (having stolen Cloak's cloak and sucked him inside it) made a move to kill the blinded Dagger, who found herself in the middle of a bank robbery headed up by the Crimson Daffodil. The hitman known as the Disciplinarian also showed up, looking to kill Ecstasy. Cloak escaped the cloak's darkness and reclaimed his powers from Ecstasy. Dagger saved the Crimson Daffodil from the Disciplinarian, making the Daffodil decide to become a crime-fighter, instead. Now, the new Jester approaches Cloak & Dagger and, mistakenly believing them to be villains, recruits them into his Assembly of Evil...
Cloak and Dagger #9
Doctor Doom has employed the new Jester to form the Assembly of Evil, so he's recruited the Hulk, Hydro-Man, Rock, Fenris and now Cloak & Dagger, who decide to play along in the hope of screwing up their plans. The Assembly attack the Avengers during a public forum about the Super-Hero Registration Act. Cloak & Dagger immediately help innocent bystanders get to safety. The 'Hulk' is revealed to be the Eternals' robotic Cosmic Hulk. The Avengers defeat the Assembly and Cloak & Dagger prove themselves as heroes.
Beneath the ruins of Avengers Mansion, the Avengers desperately try to figure out what's causing random villain attacks, having learned from Cloak & Dagger that Doctor Doom may be responsible. Meanwhile, Doom and the rest of the Prime Movers squabble like children, much to the lackey's disappointment. With the team in disarray after their recent losses against the Reavers (during DISSOLUTION & REBIRTH), Blob, Avalanche and Pyro of Freedom Force have made themselves available for hire. Their rampage through what's left of the grounds of Avengers Mansion is halted when Captain America reveals them to be free agents and not government employees. Despite the ultimate loss, the lackey sees this as another win as the Avengers are more confused than before.
Punisher #29
After dinner, 'Doctor Doom' (Kristoff Vernard) gives the Punisher a device that will neutralise Doombots, including the Doom who's been pursuing him in America (who Vernard believes to be a rogue Doombot, rather than the real Doom). That night, the Punisher steals a painting of Doom's parents and flees the castle. Returning to America, Doom attaches a copy of the painting to the top of his Battlevan to draw Doom's attention (passing the Avengers and Freedom Force on the way). Doom confronts the Punisher and promises to leave him alone in exchange for the real painting, costing Doom his wager with the Kingpin.
Public opinion of Spider-Man is worse than ever before, even when he manages to put an end to the Shocker and Hydro-Man's fight with the Rhino. Kingpin and the lackey confront Doctor Doom over his apparent obsession with Spider-Man. Doom obtains and upgrades the super-soldier hunter robot TESS-One which absorbs Spider-Man's energies while it fights him. Spidey plays to the public's misconception of him and destroys TESS-One in a rage. The robot is destroyed, but Spidey is feared more than ever. Doom obtains TESS-One's head and gets ready to steal Spider-Man's powers...
Web of Spider-Man #61
At his wit's end, Peter Parker decides to quit being Spider-Man, hurls his mask from the top of a building and flies home.

Machinesmith activated a robot duplicate of the Red Skull to avoid alerting anyone to his disappearance and makes a plan to lure out Magneto.
