Speaking of Avengers Annuals that were stinkers, the worst in my opinion would have to be Avengers v1 Annual 23, released in 1994. I had unusually high expectations for it, because it was John Buscema and Roy Thomas reuniting for a sequel to Avengers v1 issue 50, the Hercules vs Typhon battle and a personal favorite of mine.
I was devastated by how awful it was. Thomas, as usual for him during the 90s, flaunted his contempt for the Marvel Universe of that time, but it was Buscema who really let me down. Usually, even his lesser, going-through-the-motions work still had redeeming qualities, but there were none to be seen here. The release date of the Annual coincided with the monthly series' post-Epting decline. Just thinking about this era makes me want to cry.

oohhh more!
of course not everyone would be comfy with the idea of flying,
bless Imra for her sensitivity, and Yera for her welcoming
lol at poor Twister
Zoe is such a good egg, that's one reason I've always loved her. she's generally kind (but don't get her riled up). nice of her to involve Ulu!
whew, glad that Magno Lass, Kid Dynamo and Ballistix all survived their encounter, I was scared some of them would not!
I like Lu's pep-talk to Tectonik - you're staying behind cause you're actually the most versatile of us!
yup, the difference in experience is showing. Lu took charge well, and I love her "you called US for help"
ah, good work showing the Yellow Lantern's motivation. because indeed, I expect she could certainly have killed some of our good guys...
Time for Atomsmasher to shine!

What a compliment to have the same idea as you, great minds and yay for more Ethel, I always thought she was so underused in the Retroboot. A bit criminal that they didn't at least slip her into the crowd scenes in 3 Worlds either!
