'''''Avengers Standoff''''' is a 2016 BatFamilyCrossover published by Creator/MarvelComics, told across the [[ComicBook/TheAvengers Avengers]] line of comics in the ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel universe.
[[StepfordSuburbia 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 [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Steve Rogers]] and [[ComicBook/TheFalcon Sam Wilson]] --the Captains America of past and present-- can't keep it contained.
Announced at New York Comic Con 2015, this crossover will launch with an alpha issue written by Nick Spencer (''ComicBook/AstonishingAntMan'', ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica: [[ComicBook/TheFalcon Sam Wilson]]'') and encompass the following titles:
* ''Avengers Standoff -- Assault on Pleasant Hill Alpha'' #1
* ''ComicBook/{{New Avengers|2015}}'' #8
* ''ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentAvengers'' #7
* ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica: [[ComicBook/TheFalcon Sam Wilson]]'' #7
* ''ComicBook/UncannyAvengers'' #7
* ''ComicBook/HowlingCommandos of ComicBook/{{SHIELD}}'' #6
* ''ComicBook/AgentsOfSHIELD'' #3
Though similar in concept, Marvel has claimed ''Avengers Standoff'' is completely unrelated to ''ComicBook/CivilWarII'', which is set to launch immediately after this story concludes.
