It wasn't only the Avengers that were great back in the late 90's, either. The FF, Cap, Iron Man...the whole "Heroes Return" thing was very well executed, I thought. It definitely brought me back to Marvel again after dropping out with that atrocious Liefeld-Lee disaster. If Marvel had remained at that level of quality, I would have probably stuck with them. I actually loved the fact that there were no mega-crossovers and that each title was being allowed to find their own style and direction. Alas, those days are gone and now the main characters have changed so much that I don't see how they can ever bring them back to their old selves in the current continuity without making CW all a big dream or something.

Anyway, I am definitely an Avengers Assemble admirer as well as most of Marvel's output from that time.
