. Each Issue is 76 pages long with two modern stories and one classic story reprinted. Avengers United is sold once every 28 days through Newsagents, although a subscription offer is available. It was first published in June 2001 after '' Marvel Heroes Reborn'' closed down. The original cost of the comic was £2.40, although it now retails at £2.50.


Format

The cover for the comic is made out of thick card, unlike US that have a far thinner paper based cover. At certain issue milestones, a special 100 page issue is printed, for the same price as a 76-page issue. These have been #50, #75 and #100. ''Avengers United'' has been known to contain more text articles than the other Collectors Editions that Panini Comics prints in the UK. An example of these are the occasional "Avengers Spotlights"; 2 to 4 page articles highlighting the histories of specific characters. Issue 50 was a 100-page special featuring 4 stories and an 8-page interview with Edwin Jarvis. The letters page is entitled "Readers Assemble". So far Avengers United is the only Collectors Edition to have a letters page in the first issue; this was due to a flood of mail to Panini requesting an Avengers comic after ''Marvel Heroes Reborn'' ended.
