"Siege" is an American comic book published by Marvel Comics from January 2010 to May 2010. It deals with the culmination of the Dark Reign story line, which saw Norman Osborn become the United States primary defense officer, leading H.A.M.M.E.R. as well as employing his own evil Avengers. The story depicts Loki manipulating Osborn into leading an all-out assault on Asgard, at the time located within the United States. Captain America and his own Avengers lead a rebellion against Osborn, which escalates into an all-out assault. The events in Siege led to Marvel Comics introducing the subsequent story-line Heroic Age.
Siege ran as an eponymous four-issue mini-series, with connected one-shots and associated mini-series, as well as crossovers into existing ongoing series.
Marvel announced in early 2010 that the company's Siege storyline would be followed by the Heroic Age story-line. This was first hinted at in the story by Athena to Amadeus Cho.
The end of aftermath was described as what would be the start of a new "Heroic Age" in the Marvel Universe.
The final tie-in issues of the four Avengers titles, Mighty Avengers #36, New Avengers #64, Dark Avengers #16 and Avengers: The Initiative #35 were the last ones of those series, along with a New Avengers: Finale one-shot, with illustrations by Bryan Hitch.
From June 2010 Marvel published Avengers Prime: Siege Aftermath. This five-part series focused on Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America and bridged the gap between Siege and Heroic Age.
