Avengers #99

Hercules Appearance

Avengers Vol. 1 #99, published in May 1972, continues the dramatic lead-up to the historic Avengers #100 by deepening the Olympian conflict introduced in the previous issues. Ares, the god of war, has imprisoned Hercules, and the Avengers must launch a daring rescue mission—only to be drawn into a full-on war with the gods of Olympus.

This issue features a strong, classic lineup: Thor, Iron Man, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, Ant-Man, and the Wasp, with tensions rising among the team as they prepare to defy ancient deities to save one of their own.

Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Barry Windsor-Smith, Avengers #99 delivers emotional stakes, godlike battles, and a bold setup for the all-star showdown in Avengers #100.
