Avengers Standoff is a 2016 Bat Family Crossover published by Marvel Comics, told across the Avengers line of comics in the All-New, All-Different Marvel universe.Pleasant Hill seems like an idyllic community on the surface, but when a deadly secret comes to light, even the combined might of estranged allies Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson —the Captains America of past and present— can't keep it contained.Announced at New York Comic Con 2015, this crossover launched with an alpha issue written by Nick Spencer (Astonishing Ant-Man, Captain America: Sam Wilson). The main plot was told through the following titles: Avengers Standoff: Welcome to Pleasant Hill #1 Avengers Standoff — Assault on Pleasant Hill Alpha #1 Captain America: Sam Wilson #7 Captain America: Sam Wilson #8 Avengers Standoff — Assault on Pleasant Hill Omega #1While the following issues also tied into the story: New Avengers #8 All-New, All-Different Avengers #7 Uncanny Avengers #7 Howling Commandos of S.H.I.E.L.D. #6 Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. #3 New Avengers #9 New Avengers #10 Uncanny Avengers #8 All-New, All-Different Avengers #8 The Illuminati #6 Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. #4As with other crossover events, Standoff will result in two notable changes to the Marvel Universe status quo: Steve Rogers' youth will be restored and he'll return to the Captain America mantle (alongside Sam Wilson), while a new Thunderbolts team —led by the Winter Soldier— will emerge.Though similar in concept, Marvel has claimed Avengers Standoff is completely unrelated to Civil War II, which was set to launch immediately after this story concludes.

Mythology Gag: The big reveal of Zemo and the Fixer as the main characters in "Welcome to Pleasant Hill" has a lot of similarities to the famous twist ending of Thunderbolts Volume 1 #1, up to and including being drawn by the same artist. Before the cosmic cube fragments start acting up they begin throwing off gamma rays dismissed as Within Parameters

However, Avengers Island has been lost to S.H.I.E.L.D., Kobik is on the run with Bucky and the old members of the Thunderbolts, Baron Zemo and Erik Selvig are MIA and the Red Skull is on the move. Oh, and the rejuvenated Steve now believes himself to be a secret HYDRA agent.

Characterization Marches On: Kraven's successful plan to capture Kobik by setting up a little girl's birthday party complete with pointy pink party hats suggests that his current role in the Marvel Universe is to be a villainous example of someone who is lighthearted and goofy yet surprisingly effective. It probably helps that he's been running into Squirrel Girl regularly since the "All New, All Different" reboot.

The Reveal: Welcome to Pleasant Hill ends with a two-fer: Pleasant Hill is actually a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility run by Maria Hill for the purpose of brainwashing super-villains into peaceful members of society. "Jim", whom the reader is led to believe is an amnesiac Bucky Barnes is actually an amnesiac Baron Zemo. The person who made the leaks about the project (a.k.a. the Whisperer from Captain America: Sam Wilson) is revealed to be Rick Jones. A priest who helps out Steve Rogers in getting Maria Hill help in Captain America: Sam Wilson #7 is revealed to be the Red Skull.

He's Back!: This story will end with the return of Steve Rogers' youth, allowing him to be Captain America alongside Sam Wilson. This is marred by the fact it's actually the debut of the HYDRAified Captain America with the real Steve's return not happening until later. Welcome to Pleasant Hill brings back Baron Zemo and the Fixer, the latter instrumental in bringing the former back. Avengers: Standoff Alpha brings back Rick Jones, revealed to be the whistleblower Avengers: Standoff Omega brings back the original Quasar.

Let's You and Him Fight
 Avengers Standoff (Comic Book) / int_c3bdfbb9
comment
Let's You and Him Fight: All-New All-Different has Sam Wilson's Avengers fighting the Unity Squad. Iron Man actually lampshades this trope and tries to immediately makes sure they make peace with Unity Squad as soon as they land. It probably would've worked if Maria Hill hadn't prematurely attacked the Unity Squad.

Shout-Out: There's a groundskeeper in Pleasant Hill named "Willie." Maria even chides Steve for not getting the reference. Thunderbolts artist Jon Malin drew a sing that says "Shell Beach" on the Thudnerbolt's tie-in issue.

Two Lines, No Waiting
 Avengers Standoff (Comic Book) / int_ca7ec334
comment
Two Lines, No Waiting: Assault on Pleasant Hill Alpha splits the plot in twain. Captain America, All-New, All-Different and Uncanny Avengers titles deal with the storming of the town while New Avengers and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. deal with Rick Jones and trying to keep Pleasant Hill a secret long enough to get it shut down. Howling Commandos and Illuminati deal with two characters trapped in the town.

Debate and Switch
 Avengers Standoff (Comic Book) / int_d1b19b75
comment
Debate and Switch: Whether or not Pleasant Hill is an ethical thing to do or solves the dual problem of the Cardboard Prison and Joker Immunity is barely addressed. Both Rogers' and Hill's arguments are rendered moot when the inmates regain their original identities and assault the prison.

What the Hell, Hero?
 Avengers Standoff (Comic Book) / int_d39e327f
comment
What the Hell, Hero?: Steve Rogers is really furious about knowing Maria Hill lied and kept Pleasant Hill running. Agent Coulson isn't happy, either, stating specifically that if Pleasant Hill got out, it would destroy S.H.I.E.L.D. forever. Basically everyone is pissed off about Pleasant Hill, most especially the villains. One was willing to quit villainy and took solace in the belief of some public comeuppance, but after hearing there was a press conference for the rejuvenated Steve Rogers he attempted to assassinate him. He calls out Sam on not appearing to do anything either after publicly declaring himself more proactive. The World Security Council also tear her a new one, especially for losing Kobik.

Sympathy for the Devil: Maria Hill tells Steve that, after everyone was all rounded up, she wanted to put herself in Pleasant Hill, meaning she knew what she was doing was wrong and wanted to atone for it.

Spotting the Thread
 Avengers Standoff (Comic Book) / int_ec0ce986
comment
Spotting the Thread: How Rogue is able to escape being under Kobik's influence. Some wonderful training by Xavier helped out with that. Also, Thor gets asked if she's OK fighting without her hammer, and she says she still feels the power of the Thunder God. But she should've lost said power if she was separated from Mjolnir. This causes them to realise that Mjolnir, Nova's helmet, Cable's techno-organic arm, and their costumes (which the group previously thought SHIELD had stashed away somewhere) aren't missing - just as Deadpool gets through to Kobik, who restores everybody to normal.

Locked Out of the Loop: This event seems to exclude some of the titles in the extended Avengers line — A-Force, The Ultimates, and Squadron Supreme won't be tying into this story. This is because they are in storylines of their own that doesn't allow them to break away to participate.

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Maria Hill. Trying to reform supervillains into peaceful members of society and trying to find a solution to the Cardboard Prison problem is nice and all, but capturing them and brainwashing them into this? Not so much. However, this gets a little more worrying with Uncanny Avengers #7 when Maria Hill tells Rogue that she has a place for them in there as well - she's not going after supervillains, she's willing to toss superheroes as well, even reformed ones.

Depending on the Writer: No one writer seems to write Kobik the same. The Kobik who showed up in the beginning as well as the Captain America: Sam Wilson entry comes off as playful yet frightened, yet the Kobik who appears in the Uncanny Avengers, All-New, All-Different Avengers and Howling Commandos of S.H.I.E.L.D. comes off as a Creepy Child who wants everyone to "play" The Thunderbolts book that spun off this event ends up combining the two interpretations of Kobik.
