Luke Cage and Jessica Jones: Avengers

John Arcudi and Eric Canete
with Brian Michael Bendis

NOTE: Starting with Secret War and New Avengers #1, Luke Cage becomes a sort of 'main' character of the New Avengers team. Jessica Jones would have sporadic appearances until the Initiative era which then featured her in a more regular capacity. With the exception of the non-canon What If? issue and the Luke Cage mini (which takes place prior to Siege) the rest of the issues linked are spotlight issues of Luke and Jessica, but the two are otherwise mostly present in the main New Avengers series and events.
