Avengers #89-97 “The Kree-Skrull War”

This epic storyline went through a number of peaks and valleys as Roy Thomas brought Earth’s Mightiest Heroes into the midst of a conflict between the shape-shifting Skrulls and the war-obsessed Kree. Sal Buscema, John Buscema and Neal Adams were the pencilers for the story (which had a host of inkers), which managed to do a masterful job of fitting in character-driven sequences in the midst of thrilling action scenes. It is a keen mind that is able to balance both small and large scale approaches within a single storyline, and that’s exactly what Thomas demonstrated on this classic story.

Wasp
The only one founding Avenger who still is alive and in duty
shouldn't we say that Uncanny Avengers are true Avengers right now?

Shame about the colorist. It's the Scarlet Witch, not the Magenta Witch!

I loved Buscema on the Avengers! What made it even more enjoyable was that there were great stories to go with his art.

Man, if you ever wanted to see a comic pic that captured perfectly the swingin' sixties, that would be it. The costumes, the hairdos, the poses,even the wacky dialogue from the narrator.

Avengers #343-344, 355-357, 360-363, 372-375 – ‘The Gatherers’
Writer: Bob Harras, Pencillers: Steve Epting and Gordon Purcell
Line-up: Black Knight, Crystal, Sersi, Black Widow, Hercules, Vision, Captain America, Giant-Man, Thor II/Thunderstrike, Quicksilver, Black Panther
Main villains: Proctor, the Gatherers
Other main characters: Swordsman (from alternate reality), Magdalene, Deathcry, Edwin Jarvis

Following Roger Stern’s departure as writer ‘Avengers’ had several short-term scribes until X-Men editor Bob Harras came on board.
Harras debuted on the title with ‘The Collection Obsession’ in #334-339, which turned out to be an OK story, but his run really got going with the introduction of the Gatherers in issue #343.

Led by the mysterious Proctor, the Gatherers were survivors of alternate Earths that menaced the Avengers on and off for three years. Even when not present their threat often seemed to lurk in the background, particularly since it intersected with another main subplot at the time, which was the Avenger Sersi seemingly becoming violently unhinged.

The Gatherers storyline also contained some early work by top artist Steve Epting, who at this stage was noticeably improving with each issue. Together Harras and Epting mixed the soap opera of Englehart’s run with the dark grandeur of the Thomas/Buscema issues. It may have owed a large debt to those past Avengers stories, but it was an oasis amongst a decade of mediocrity.

One of my favorite Avengers sagas. I simply CANNOT believe Marvel never published this story in collected form.

link isn't working, but I got the Monsters Unleashed Free Preview book, and I actually think that the Avengers #1.MU looks pretty awesome. Not to mention the inclusion of current Avengers in MU #1 proper.
