Avengers West Coast – Definitive Collecting Guide and Reading Order

Updated Mar 25, 2025! The Avengers West Coast & Force Works definitive collecting guide and reading order for comic books in omnibus, hardcover, and trade paperback format. Find every issue and appearance! Part of Crushing Krisis’s Crushing Comics. Last updated March 2025 with titles scheduled for release through December 2025.

The Avengers had the best kind of problem in the early 80s, whether your perspective was from within comic book continuity or behind the scenes: there were just too many darn Avengers!

West Coast Avengers (1984) #1

The Avengers had gradually shifted its focus from Marvel’s major heroes who anchored their own books (like Iron Man and Captain America) to a roster of characters that needed a team book to thrive. That meant plenty of fan favorite characters would be left out during any given run.

The best solution was to follow a trend set by Spider-Man and just recently by Chris Claremont’s X-Men: launch a second Avengers book!

West Coast Avengers launched with Hawkeye as a central focus. He was chief amongst those team-based, fan-favorite characters, hot off of his own limited series. Hawkeye was initially joined by his wife, Mockingbird, Tigra, and West Coast natives Wonder Man and Rhodey Rhodes as Iron Man.

From a story perspective, the central conceit of the book was that America was a big country, and the NYC-based team couldn’t always be responsive to threats across the nation. In practice, it allowed writers like Steve Engelhart, John Byrne, and Roy Thomas to tell big stories that still focused on character history and personalities. Byrne, in particular, used it to dig deeply into the story of Scarlet Witch.

As comics became more entrenched in extreme, violent themes, the relative staid Avengers team was disassembled in favor of an Iron Man lead Force Works. (The in-continuity reason was the team’s standoff with the UN Security Council over happenings in Genosha in the “Blood Ties” crossover in the penultimate issue of the series.)

Despite a flashy launch with a pop-up cover, Force Works never caught fire like the similarly themed X-Force, and was cancelled as part of the line-wide removal of Avengers in 1996 as they headed off to the Heroes Reborn pocket universe in the wake of Onslaught.

Force Works (1994) #1-22 & Ashcan Edition
and Century: Distant Sons (1996) #1 (Jul 1995 – Apr 1994)

Avengers West Coast transforms into Force Works (1994) #3Force worked for New Mutants when they changed from a 100-issue, 80s-flavored, X-Men spinoff team to the more aggressive X-Force in 1991, so why not try it on The Avengers’ own spinoff?

Force Works was meant to be a more proactive version of the West Coast Avengers, but at this relatively late stage in the 90s comics boom it just came off as extreme with its weird outfits, overeager inks, and added fifth-color printing.

Still, this book has its high points – notably, as an early Marvel Comics collaboration between Guardians of the Galaxy masterminds Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning. [Marvel Unlimited]

After the conclusion of Force Works Iron Man and Scarlet Witch briefly appeared in Avengers (1963) while it wound down during the Onslaught linewide crossover. Afterwards they both moved on to the Heroes Reborn universe. Jessica Drew reappears as Spider-Woman in the Heroes Reborn universe. War Machine next appears in the 1998 post-Reborn relaunch of Iron Man. US Agent does not appear in another ongoing for some time, though he makes sporadic appearances in Thunderbolts (1997) and has his own 2001 limited series.

by Kelly Thompson, Stefano Caselli, Daniele DI Nicuolo, Triona Farrell, & Joe Caramagna

Launched by the superstar team of Kelly Thompson and Stefano Caselli, this run is an extension of Kelly Thompson’s Hawkeye (2017) starring Kate Bishop. This new iteration of the west coast team is a play on mockumentaries like This Is Spinal Tap or The Office. The mostly-youthful lineup includes Clint Barton, Kate Bishop, America Chavez, Quentin Quire, & Gwenpool. [Marvel Unlimited]

in a single omnibus…

Gwenpool Omnibus (2022 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302948207 / digital)

Force Works 2020 (2020) #1-3 [AKA 2020 Force Works] by Matthew Rosenberg (Feb – Aug 2020)

Though this title was a tie-in to the Iron Man 2020 mini-event driven by Dan Slott’s series of the same name, this brief Force Works reunion stands fine as its own read (though it actually feels more like the West Coast team due to the presence of Mockingbird alongside USAgent War Machine). See Guide to Iron Man – Tony Stark for more context and other collection options. [Marvel Unlimited]

#1-3: Iron Man 2020: Robot Revolution – Force Works (2020 paperback, ISBN 978-1302925536 / digital)
Collects 2020 Force Works (2020) #1-3, 2020 Machine Man (2020) #1-2, 2020 Iron Age (2020) #1

West Coast Avengers (2024) #1-[ongoing] (Nov 2024 – ongoing)
by Gerry Duggan, Danny Kim, & Arthur Hesli

A quirky team of loner heroes and semi-reformed villains, including an Ultron! This continues some themes from Duggan’s runs on X-Men (2021) and Invincible Iron Man (2022), but you don’t need to read either of them to pick this up. [Marvel Unlimited]

#1-5: Vol. 1: The Gospel of Ultron (2025 paperback, ISBN ‎ 978-1302960339 / digital TBA)

#6-(TBA): Vol. 2 (2025 paperback, ISBN 978-1302962869 / digital TBA)
