During the period that we’re talking about, NEW AVENGERS was the successor title to AVENGERS.It was the book that replaced it, and for much of that period was the only AVENGERS title there was. So it counts in the same manner that FF counted in those months where it had succeeded FANTASTIC FOUR.
Once AVENGERS came back, NEW AVENGERS wasn’t that anymore, and so it ceased to hold that banner, again in the same manner as FF.
