History ComicBook / Siege

* BatFamilyCrossover: Aside from the main ''Siege'' series & some one shots revolving around characters who weren't getting much page time in the main story (Such as Spider-Man & the Young Avengers), the only titles that tied into ''Siege'' were ''ComicBook/NewAvengers'', ''Mighty Avengers'' & ''Avengers: The Inititave''. Even then, the ''Mighty Avengers'' ties to the event were tenuous at best, with the tie-in issues focusing on Ultron's attack on the Infinite Avengers Mansion at the same time as ''Siege'' takes place; comparatively ''The Inititave'' focused on the Avengers Resistance mounting an attack on Camp H.A.M.M.E.R to keep the cavalry at bay, and ''New Avengers'' provided the lead-up to the Avengers heading to Asgard, with the later issues serving the same purpose as the one-shots by focusing on Hawkeye & Mockingbird.

* DecompressedComic: Subverted. The main event requires no tie-ins and was only four issues long. Reading it feels like sprinting compared to ''SecretInvasion''.

* ManipulativeBastard: Norman Osborn, but that's par for the course. Specifically, he has the U-Foes attack Volstagg in Chicago in an attempt to manufacture a second [[ComicBook/CivilWar Stamford Incident]] & pin it on the Asgardians, so he has reason to justify an attack on Asgard against the President's wishes. [[GenreSavvy Ares even warns him that if he finds out that this is the case, he will Osborn]] - [[spoiler:He does, but Sentry gets involved before he can actually kill Osborn]].

* VillainDecay: Count Nefaria, who previously was shown to be powerful enough to outfight the entire Avengers roster during their prime (including Iron Man, Captain America, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Yellowjacket, Black Panther, Wonder Man, Thor, and Vision) literally single-handedly, is laid out by Wolverine and Ms. Marvel in three pages because he isn't an A-list villain.

The MarvelComics CrisisCrossover from late 2009/early 2010, following Comicbook/CivilWar, SecretInvasion and Comicbook/DarkReign. In his final days as a world power, Norman Osborn has launched a mass invasion of the now Earthbound kingdom of Asgard, forcing the heroes to work together once again to stop him, once and for all.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: To mend the wounds left by ''CivilWar'' and ''SecretInvasion''. It might've worked.

!!''Comicbook/Siege'' provides examples of:

* AndTheAdventureContinues: Siege was the end of the ''Mighty Avengers'' comic book. The team had dispersed, and only Henry Pym and Jocasta stayed at the mansion to deal with Ultron. They get rid of him, in time to join the battle in Asgard. And although the team had dispersed, they met by their own at the place; the final panel of the comic book shows Pym leading them to battle for the last time.

* ColonyDrop/DeathFromAbove: Iron Man dropping the HAMMER helicarrier on the Void.

* AndTheAdventureContinues: Siege was the end of the "Migthy Avengers" comic book. The team had dispersed, and only Henry Pym and Jocasta stayed at the mansion to deal with Ultron. They get rid of him, in time to join the battle in Asgard. And although the team had dispersed, they met by their own at the place; the final panel of the comic book shows Pym leading them to battle for the last time.
** The end of the main Siege storyline, when Steve Rogers announces that he will need everyone for upcoming things, may be considered a case as well. However, it's a mere mention, with the characters standing there, and not a "charging into battle" finale

** Victoria Hand has one in the aftermath, after realising just what kind of whack-job she's been working for.

* VillainDecay: Count Nefaria, who previously was shown to be powerful enough to outfight the entire Avengers roster during their prime (including Iron Man, Captain America, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Yellowjacket, Black Panther, Wonder Man, Thor, and Vision) literally single-handedly, is laid out in one hit by Wolverine of all people because he isn't an A-list villain.
