While traveling through space, Smasher and the U.S.Avengers are attacked by space pirates known as Warpjackers. After a brief fight, the pirates tell them that Glenbrook is actually a planet named Kral X. Meanwhile, Cannonball is introduced to the townspeople by Ritchie Redwood, ruler of the planet. Upon discovering the people's troublesome behavior, Cannonball tries to escape only to be defeated and captured. Awakening in a dungeon, Cannonball meets other prisoners including a teen named Bugface. In the dungeon, Bugface explains to Cannonball that they're Skrulls and that Kral X is a planet designed for those who are not fit to serve in the Skrull army. In order to make them happy, Kral X was designed to look like a 1950s American TV show, but when the show was cancelled and rebooted in modern times, the Skrull Ritchie neglected Bugface's suggestion to move with the times and sent him and other like-minded citizens to the dungeon to keep their lifestyles the way it is. After escaping the dungeon, Cannonball leads Bugface and the rebels against Ritchie until Smasher and the U.S.Avengers arrive to help. After sending Ritchie and his cohorts to jail, the U.S.Avengers head back home.[29]

Issue 1

Jesse Schedeen of IGN gave U.S.Avengers #1 a grade of 8.2 out of 10, writing, "U.S.Avengers #1 doesn't break a lot of new ground when it comes to establishing a superhero team. But if the plot here is straightforward, the book still stands out thanks to a combination of lovable patriotic excess and its celebration of American ideals. Fans of Ewing and Medina's previous New Avengers comic should feel right at home despite the new status quo."[41] Graeme McMillan of Wired included U.S.Avengers #1 in their "5 Comics You Absolutely Must Read This Month" list.[42]
