Avengers by Busiek & Pérez Omnibus Vol. 2 pushes the run into its most intense phase, with Ultron Unlimited turning superhero spectacle into a story about horror, survival and what the Avengers mean when the enemy has already won. Pérez gives the team scale and emotion without losing the human cost of the attack.

The sixth Avengers omnibus covers the conclusion of Englehart's run, centered on the Celestial Madonna storyline — one of the most ambitious Bronze Age Marvel narratives, weaving Mantis's mysterious origin through past, present, and future while simultaneously resolving the Swordsman's arc with his death in combat. Englehart used the Vision and the Scarlet Witch's relationship as the emotional spine of the era, building toward their eventual marriage in a standalone special that remains one of Marvel's most unusual romantic narratives.
