disassemble

"Avengers Disassembled" is a 2004 crossover storyline published by Marvel Comics involving Avengers, Fantastic Four, Captain America, Spider-Man and Thor. It sees the beginning of Brian Michael Bendis' Avengers run with the destruction of the existing traditional roster, and exile of several key members of the team. The storyline includes a number of subplots, some of which take place prior to and after the storyline, which depict other changes to the status quo: Iron Man once again closeting his secret identity, Spider-Man developing organic webshooters (as in the Sam Raimi film trilogy), and the death of Thor and Asgard in one final Ragnarok.
The main story ("Chaos") ran in Avengers #500-503 and a special epilogue ("Avengers Finale") and drew considerable controversy due to its overt continuity errors related to its main plot and deaths and vilification of classic Avengers members. These continuity errors and fan backlash would lead to retconning of the events in "Avengers: The Children's Crusade" and "AXIS," as well as the "Marquis of Death" story line from Mark Millar's Fantastic Four run and J. Michael Straczynski's "Amazing Spider-Man" run.
The series would also see to a massive relaunch of the Avengers family of titles with new ongoing series launched for the Thunderbolts, Captain America, and Iron Man as well as the launching of Young Avengers and Thor going on a three-year hiatus.
