  In the past, Luke Cage tries to buy some milk for his baby but is attacked by SHIELD for his troubles. The New Avengers, secreted in Dr. Strange's boarded up sanctum, get word that Captain America is alive and being held at Rykers Island. When Dr. Strange confirms this in his astral form, the New Avengers head out to rescue Captain America but find it is an elaborate trap set by the Mighty Avengers. In the present, the New Avengers take the wounded Maya to hide out at the Silver Samurai's compound but Elektra and the Hand follow them.

Publisher’s description

It’s the New Avengers versus Elektra and the Hand, AND the New Avengers versus the Mighty Avengers. You think the war is over?? The war is over when Luke Cage says it is!!!
