The Earth truly is at war during the Kang Dynasty's sixteen issue run. Many large-scale battles are fought across the planet and in space. Factions of heroes and villains stand and fall against a tide of alien invaders.

Through some clever narrative techniques, the story lasts for more than a couple of days and features the Earth under occupation by an invading force.

The other thing that happens is the line between superhero and solider is examined. In the case of Carol Danvers, she must put aside her guise as War Bird and acts as Captain Danvers as a member of the armed forces. It's a crucial and exciting distinction, and one that cements the character as one of the Avengers' most unique.
