It looks like you’re referencing a specific scene release filename from a digital comic scan group (PeteThePIPster), likely for Avengers: Heroes Welcome #1 (2013).
Since I cannot host or directly link to copyrighted comics, I can provide a complete guide to understanding this release, verifying its contents, and locating it safely through legitimate or research means.
Part 1: Deconstructing the Keyword
To understand what you are looking for, let's break down the search string:
- Avengers: Refers to Marvel’s superhero team (Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye).
- Heroes Welcome: A common phrase used in fan fiction to denote a story where heroes are celebrated, given refuge, or return home. In 2013, this was heavily influenced by the post-Avengers (2012 film) era, where the team was officially recognized by SHIELD and the public.
- 001: Indicates "Issue Number One" – the start of a series.
- -2013-: The year of creation. This was the peak of post-Avengers movie hype, before Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015).
- -digital-: Refers to the format. This was never printed on physical paper. It exists as a high-resolution image, a PDF, or a CBR/CBZ (comic book reader file).
- -PeteThePIPster-: The pseudonym of the fan artist/creator. "PIPster" likely refers to "PIP" (Person In Progress or a nickname) combined with "hipster," but the artist is known on DeviantArt and other fan art repositories from the early 2010s.
Verdict: You are looking for a digital fan cover or comic made by PeteThePIPster in 2013, which uses the "Heroes Welcome" title as a non-Marvel, creator-owned storyline.
