Maximum Security

    (Marvel, 2000-2001)
™ and ©2000 Marvel Characters, Inc.

In cities around the world, vicious aliens—criminals all—are appearing, drawing Earth’s super-heroes into countless conflicts. All too soon, the Avengers discover why: an intergalactic council has deemed Earth and its solar system a maximum-security prison. Not only has the council sentenced the scum of the galaxy to incarceration on our planet, but no inhabitant can ever leave again! And that’s not the worst of it, as the Avengers realize that one of the interstellar inmates is no mere criminal, but an entity that is growing and spreading. Within a week, it will engulf the Earth to become Ego, the Living Planet.

One of Marvel’s most original crossover events in years, this series features first-rate writing from Avengers scribe Kurt Busiek (Astro City) and art by Jerry Ordway (Power of Shazam).
