They are the Great Lake Avengers, the guys who got the shortest end of the super-hero stick. This A Great Lake Avenger Dies!

With the life-expectancy of hamsters, and an ever-thinning lineup, the GLA is in desperate need of new blood. Oh, and don't forget, in this issue Another GLAer Dies!

Sure, we killed a Great Lakes Avenger in #1. And another in #2. But this time it's personal!

"COUNTDOWN TO A MISCOUNT" See? We weren't kidding. Someone DID die in GLA#1. So maybe now you'll believe us when we tell you that this issue doesn't just signal THE END for the GLA... but for the ENTIRE Marvel Universe as well! Hmm... Okay, maybe not the ENTIRE Marvel U.... But everybody who doesn't have a monthly book or plans for an upcoming mini-series—all of THOSE guys could go! We mean it! Hey, if Wolverine can kill off the Hornet and Northstar as afterthoughts, don't think we won't take out everybody else! Grrr!

They are the Great Lake Avengers, the guys who got the shortest end of the super-hero stick. But with the real Avengers disassembled, they're going to try to step up to the plate and deal with one of their most powerful villains Can they save the day? Well, we just hope these guys can save themselves Collects G.L.A. #1-4; and West Coast Avengers #46.
