The team first appeared in the 1984 limited series West Coast Avengers (vol 1.)[1][2] and returned in the ongoing series West Coast Avengers (vol 2.) published from 1985 to 1994.[2][3]
The West Coast Avengers (vol. 3) series was relaunched in 2018 as part of Fresh Start publishing initiative with a new roster.[4][5][3] A fourth volume began publication in November 2024 with a new West Coast Avengers roster.[6][7]
