Strong disagree.
In measure of scope, I'd have to say the Korvac Saga
Another vote for Korvac Saga here. Issue 177 disturbed me as a kid.
Hickman's Time Runs Out.
It was primarily an Avengers story that led directly in Secret Wars.
I’m inclined to say Jim Starlin’s Avengers Annual #7.
The Korvac Saga. Still the best Avengers storyline ever.
korvac
I would also say ultron because of the hank pym turning bad/jean grey turning bad parallel
[QUOTE=Zero Hunter;4408754]Probably the [B]The Korvac Saga[/B] or [B]Under Siege[/B]. Both are epic stories. Maybe [B]The Kree/Skrull War[/B] also.[/QUOTE]
Good choices; those are all defining storylines for the team.
I would add Ultron Unlimited, as one of the modern classic storylines.
[COLOR="#000080"]Korvac Saga and Operation: Galactic Storm.
The Gatherers gets little attention or love but it ranks high up with me.[/COLOR]
All the most obvious answers are taken. I'm going to propose an honorable mention: Ultimate Vision.
If we look at the elements of TDPS, they include: [list][*]A long build[*]A tragic progression for a character (that gets periodically reset)[*]A sea change for the title[*]Consequences that would repeatedly resurface[/list]
UV offers that.
[QUOTE=Wall-Crawler;4409135]Kang Dynasty is the best Avengers story.[/QUOTE]
I would tend to agree with this. What a finale that was for the Busiek era. Shout out, too, for Ultron Unlimited from Busiek. Definitely the two great epics from his run.

I owe this arc a reread.

Nicely DONE! :D
They don't really have a "definitive" iconic story like the X-Men have Phoenix. They have quite a few memorable storylines.
I'd say their iconic storylines would be:
The Ultimates
Kree-Skrull War
Korvac Saga
Under Siege
Ultron Unlimited
Kang Dynasty is really good but I don't know if it can be called iconic.

I wasn’t a fan of Kang Dynasty, but a lot of ppl over the years cite it as a great Avengers arc. I won’t argue that, it just wasn’t for me.
As a kid, I remember being completely taken by The Serpent Crown Saga. Steve Englehart was in his prime, w. a new guy on art named George Perez...you had Kang, the Squadron Supreme, Avengers In the Old West, Nelson Rockefeller(!), a fresh take on the Beast, Hellcat in the house, the pieces in place for team roster shake up...even a couple of filler issues still managed to give us character development on Don Blake of all ppl.
I’d argue those issues were pretty important, iconic.
