However, a very brief summary of the issue (with cover art) is available on ComicsVine <a href="http://www.comicvine.com/quicksilver-10-live-kree-or-die-3-of-4-blue-moon/4000-45236/">here</a>. <br /><br /><b>Avengers #7 - Live Kree of Die: The Court-martial of Carol Danvers</b><br /><br /><img src="http://i61.tinypic.com/2rw7yms.jpg" alt="Cover image of Avengers volume 3 issue #7"><br /><br />Writer: Kurt Busiek<br />Penciler: George Perez<br /><br />Carol faces the music for her actions during the Kree invasion.
