Killed in action part 2: First casualties
An MVP clone is stalking through Camp Hammond's Subbasement 9, shooting people with Armory's Tactigon. Now he sets his sights on insect-sized Yellowjacket, announcing that he's on his list. He blasts YJ and declares him 'killed in action' (which connects with the KIA cut into his bare chest). Then he reverses his route back to a room full of downed trainees, and faces their trainer Taskmaster.We now flashback to a training session earlier that day. The new bunch of recruits (Ant-Man (Eric O'Grady), Diamondback, Dragon Lord, Geiger, Geldoff (who's now been given the name Proton), Melee and Red 9) try unsuccessfully to defeat Taskmaster. All except Crusader who sits it out because he figures it's not possible. TM commends him as the only 1 with any brains.Actually Crusader is secretly a Skrull, but unlike the rest of his race he's on Earth's side. And the Freedom Ring he wears would enable him to easily beat Taskmaster, but he wants to keep that secret too.TM
 explains the point of the exercise was for him to determine the extent
of their individual abilities before designing their combat simulators.Cloud 9 and Trauma are in the Infirmary, deserted apart from Gauntlet in a coma. She's hurting over having killed a Hydra agent (#2), and he's practising his psychotherapy. He lets her see an image of the agent so she can confess to him personally.Beast and Dani Moonstar are watching. Dani thinks her work training Trauma is now complete. Henry Peter Gyrich is throwing her off the base in disgust because she's turned his potential superweapon into a healer.Thor Girl approaches and bows to Moonstar as a Valkyrie, despite Dani saying she no longer is 1. She lost that attribute when the old version of Asgard fell (during Avengers Disassembled). She has no connection to the recent new Thor and Asgard. Beast wonders why Tarene didn't lose *her* power too. Thor Girl doesn't know why either.Tarene actually came to see Trauma. She has a crush on him after he took on the likeness of Thor (#5).In Subbasement 5 HPG and Yellowjacket are entering the Omega Weapons Cache to get the Tactigon. Since they threw Armory off the squad (#1) none of their soldiers have been able to make it work successfully (we saw 1 try in #5). Now they hope 1 of the MVP clones might do better.In YJ's Subbasement 9 lab Baron Von Blitzschlag
 has decanted the latest MVP clone. There's already a sign of the
instability that will soon manifest as this 1 stubbornly refuses to
accept any name other than Michael Van Patrick. Blitzschlag tries to explain that they already have 1 clone using that name, pretending to be the original with his family.This
 new MVP has been programmed with all their recorded data on Armory and
the Tactigon, as well as their info on Michael. But as soon as it bonds
to his arm he goes berserk, knocking YJ and Blitzschlag aside. 1 thing
that the scientists have excluded from MVP's programming is how the
original died. But now the clone uses the Tactigon to access secure
files, and sees his original being (accidentally) killed by Armory and
the Tactigon in #1.The clone at 1st refuses to
believe that Michael is labelled KIA - he thought that *he* was the real
 Michael. But then he turns to anger at all those involved in the death.
 Unlike all the previous clones he won't accept the Baron as his
'father'. And his weapon stops Henry Pym from growing to giant-size. But YJ manages to escape insect-size.Now the clone fully accepts his situation and his new mission. And he carves the initials KIA on his chest.In
 the Combat Simulator Room in Subbasement 9 Taskmaster has given his
students a scenario to play out. They have to keep some robots at bay to
 give Dragon Lord time to brew a potion. The exercise is interrupted by
the clone busting through a wall into the room where he died.The trainees attack, and the Tactigon responds. The effects are felt throughout the building.In
 the Infirmary Thor Girl grabs Trauma and flies towards the battle with
him. She tells 'weak' Cloud 9 to go find reinforcements. Trauma protests
 that he's not an action hero like Tarene. But she won't believe him -
she saw him defeat Korg and stand up to the Hulk during World War Hulk (in #5). (Actually he frightened off the 'Stone Man From Saturn'
 by appearing as Thor - to Korg's race Thor has achieved the status of a
 mythical demon. And his (unsuccessful) tactics against Hulk were as
much psychological as physical.)In the War Room Gyrich refuses to ask for help from Tony Stark or the Avengers.In
 the Simulator the students are lying around dead or unconscious. Except
 Crusader (again) who's nursing a severed hand. MVP tells Taskmaster off
 for allowing his untrained trainees into a real fight. Then he ignores
him in favour of tracking Yellowjacket - who's 'on his list'. And
catches up with him as seen in the opening scene.Next he comes
across Thor Girl and Trauma. Astonished Trauma recognises him as MVP,
who he knows is dead. The clone recognises *him* as the person who
caused Armory to fire the shot that killed him - Trauma is on his list.
Thor Girl steps between them with a 'you'll have to go through me 1st'
speech. That's OK with MVP and he zaps her in the face.Terrance Ward
 catches her as she falls. Sickened by her burnt head he attacks MVP,
automatically becoming his foe's worst nightmare. Or in this case the
Tactigon's nightmare. (As we learnt in the Annual the
Tactigon is a weapon owned by an alien, who lost it during a fight with
an enemy alien - that is the form Trauma attacks in.) But that doesn't
stop the clone. The Tactigon morphs into a blade which pierces his
enemy, and MVP declares Trauma KIA.The clone now heads to the
Infirmary to find Gauntlet, the instructor who organised the training
session in which he died. But he finds the bed empty where the comatose Joe Green had been.Joe
 also has a weapon fused to *his* arm - hence his codename. Gauntlet
uses that to break into the Omega Weapons Cache. There he grabs the
blade that was found with the gauntlet. But his eyes are rolled up in
their sockets, and he's speaking an alien tongue.

The only good Skrull
Last issue Triathlon inherited the costume and Skrull-detecting goggles of 3-D Man, and discovered that 1 of his new Initiative team was a Skrull. He returned to Camp Hammond with the news. But Crusader (secretly a Skrull but a friendly 1) feared being found out, so he used his Freedom Ring to make the goggles see the opposite in the local vicinity. Now 3-D Man thinks everyone on the base is a Skrull except Crusader.He's bombarded with questions about what he shouted about an alien invasion when he teleported in. He mumbles some excuse about disorientation due to using Devil-Slayer's cloak to teleport, and Hellcat agrees with that. Then he takes Crusader aside and whispers that the base is overrun with Skrulls, and suggests they go tell the Avengers. Crusader doesn't want to go with him, because he figures 3-D Man will get suspicious if everyone around them always looks like a Skrull, so he sends him off in a quinjet and says he'll stay behind to make sure the Skrulls don't get suspicious.Delroy Garrett isn't sure who he can trust so he can't risk phoning someone he can't see with his goggles. So he changes plan and flies to New Mexico to find Chuck Chandler, the original 3-D Man, to ask his advice. But when he gets to the state the StarkTech virus that the Skrulls released in Secret Invasion #1 destroys the quinjet's computer system, and the craft crashes in the desert.The virus also hits Camp Hammond. In particular it hits War Machine's quarters where he's in armour hooked up to a life support system which fails, and he starts to die. Baron Blitzschlag uses his reactivated electrical powers to give WM's armour a boost.Gauntlet leads staff and trainees to the 'safety' of the barracks but the trainees  insist he tell them what's going on. He doesn't know more than that all systems are down (because they rely on StarkTech) and they can't contact Tony Stark, the Avengers, SHIELD or anyone else. Yellowjacket arrives to say that the Avengers are missing (they're in the Savage Land from SI#1), SHIELD is down (at least the helicarrier is in SI#1) and New York is under attack by aliens (by Skrulls from SI#2). He sends Gauntlet and the others to New York to help.That scene is replayed in SI#3, but without the following extra bits. Crusader had a suspicion last issue that YJ was a Skrull that he couldn't detect. He tries a modification of the Freedom Ring trick above and does see that Henry Pym is a Skrull with some kind of superior undetectable shapeshifting (as certain people have already discovered about the Skrull replacements for Elektra and Black Bolt - see NAv:Illuminati #5). And Ant-Man (Eric O'Grady) avoids the dangerous mission by shrinking down and hiding.Crusader flies off with the rest. On the way he recalls some of his history.As Z'reg he trained in the Skrull army with his friend K'rtem. K'rtem was assigned to a secret squad while Z'reg was sent to spy on the Avengers. But when he got to Earth he found the Avengers were disbanded (Avengers Disassembled). Not knowing what to do he fell in with a girl who worked at Blockbuster and was a big fan of Avengers and their (documentary) DVDs. He also fell in love with her.Then he met a new young superhero called Freedom Ring with a ring made from a Cosmic Cube. Z'reg revealed his Skrullhood and as Crusader trained the youth until he died in battle with Iron Maniac. Crusader took the Ring and used it to help fight Titannus.Later he Registered and joined the Initiative.The Initiative team join the Young Avengers fighting Skrulls in Times Square (as seen in SI#3 and SI: Runaways/YAv #1. Crusader can't bring himself to actually attack other Skrulls so concentrates on saving civilians. But he himself is attacked by 1 of the new type of Super-Skrull, who turns out of course to be K'rtem. Fearing that his friend will expose him (though it's unclear to me whether he means to the Skrulls or the Initiative), Crusader lashes out and fatally wounds K'rtem.Z'reg offers to use the Freedom Ring to cure his friend. But K'rtem chooses to die as a warrior. Crusader is now irrevocably a hero of Earth, and throws himself into the fray.

(no title given)
Chapter 1: Out of the shadowsScript by Roy Thomas, art by John Paul Leon.There's a gang battle brewing between the Sharks and the Jetz (somebody's been listening to West Side Story) but it's interrupted by what seems to be the Vision who defeats them all with his combination of invulnerability and intangibility. But then he kills them all, except the Grim Reaper disturbs his last kill. Then it may be Scarlet Witch whose hex causes an ATM to spew money, or Wonder Man's strength which speeds things up by ripping the machine open. Goliath and Wasp turn up at a power station that's about to blow. Henry Pym flicks a few switches which he says should stop it while Wasp gushes admiringly, but he only makes things worse and then they leave. A worker solves the problem by doing the exact opposite of Pym's moves. (Were those the Bizarro versions of the heroes?)Then things become a *bit* clearer as we see robot versions of the 5 Avengers plus Grim Reaper, all with Ultron-like faces.Chapter 2: Heroes assembledScript by Roger Stern, art by Paul Smith.The Avengers hear about the reports of robots, and Captain America, Iron Man and Thor meet the people and the police at the front door of Avengers Mansion. They are joined by Scarlet Witch, Vision, Wasp and Yellowjacket plus Wonder Man who's in town from Hollywood. They don't know what's going on yet but co-chairpersons Cap and Wasp promise they're on the case.Simon Williams is particularly agitated because of the possible involvement of his brother the Reaper who it seems broke jail recently (after his capture in #33 during the Thunderbolts crossover). Wasp calms him down. Vision will continue trying to track down the robots. Iron Man says he'll help him after recharging his armour, and YJ says he'll help *him*. Janet Van Dyne then directs all but those 2 to the situation room where she and Vision scan the available info, leaving the rest to drink coffee served by Edwin Jarvis. The robots seem more familiar than just being copies of some of them.The others discuss the current Kang situation - since #42 of the current Avengers series they've been dealing with uprisings fomented by the villain. WM has been handling stuff on the West Coast (as seen on a viewscreen in #44). Thor says other Avengers are spread across the globe. (We see a panel of Black Knight, Quicksilver and Warbird with a large symbolic Kang behind them.) Wanda Maximoff wonders if this could be another of Kang's ploys. Thor agrees that the Conqueror has used robots before (eg a robot Spider-Man in #11 of the original run) but there are other candidates like Dr Doom, Ultron and Alkhema.We are reminded that Ultron captured Goliath, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Wasp and Wonder Man along with Eric Williams in #20-22 and recorded their brain-patterns on discs. He was going to use them to create a new race of robots, but he was destroyed at then end of #22. Wasp now recalls that the discs were never found (but, spoiler, we saw Alkhema retrieve them), and also that these robots seem to match the 6 that Kang showed them in #42 as 1 of the possible future dooms for Earth. The Avengers now conclude that Ultron must have been rebuilt yet again. And when Jan notices that the 3 sites where the robots were seen are around Klein Towers which was built atop Ultron's original underground lair where Vision was created (in original #57-58), the case seems closed.We take time to look in on Tony Stark and Henry Pym and get a couple of explanations. Tony is wearing an old Iron Man armour from the late 60's and it needs a bit more than just recharging. But his current SKIN suit is in bits because he'd found some problems with it. We also get confirmation that Hank has switched from his Goliath id to his Yellowjacket 1 (since the end of his G/YJ literally split personalities in the 2001 Annual), though he gives no reason for the choice. Then Wasp calls them to follow up the new lead.All 8 Avengers reach the site. Vision opens a door by reaching inside and manipulating the lock and they descend to a sub-basement. The entrance to even lower levels is shut off but Scarlet Witch opens up a stone staircase. They find Ultron's lair wrecked but apparently deserted, but Iron Man is getting interference when he tries to scan the place. And then they are attacked by the robo-Avengers.A very giant metal fist takes out IM and Thor with 1 blow. Robo-Grim Reaper zaps Wonder Man with his scythe. The robot versions of the 2 females attack their flesh counterparts. Both Visions sink their immaterial hands into each other's chests, but it is the synthezoid that beats the robot until robo-WM gets him with an ionic fist. Robo-GM has Yellowjacket on the ropes ...... until he's saved by the real Grim Reaper (who I presume attacked robo-Vizh in Chap 1 before we saw the robot version) who 'kills' his counterpart. Then Iron Man and Thor recover and destroy the robot Goliath and Wonder Man. Robo-Wasp gets human-sized to continue her assault on Wasp, but Vision sticks his hand through her brain. And Wanda teams up with Eric Williams to demolish her copy. Cap didn't play any part in this but now returns from being punched through a wall by robo-WM.Robo-Vision's head is still functioning and he calls out to ask why their mother forsook them. He displays holographic memories of Alkhema taking the memory discs and creating these robots as a practice run. They were faulty but she let them live to see what they'd do. They stayed underground for a while but their practice fights wrecked the place. So they left and tried to act as Avengers. Robo-Wasp is also not quite dead and she gives Henry Pym a garbled message about Thebes and 20 hours. Then Iron Man detects that all the robots are about to automatically self-destruct. Thor's hammer whips up an interdimensional doorway to channel the explosion away. And the Avengers leave the building, noting that the real Grim Reaper has slipped away as usual.Chapter 3: 7 ... against Thebes?Script by Kurt Busiek, pencils by Tom Grummett, inks by Karl Kesel.Back at the Mansion while some of the team wonder how Alkhema simulated their powers others wonder what relevance 'Thebes' has. While Vision searches their database Henry Pym wonders about Ultron's Oedipal fixation on him as his creator and his them-wife Jan, and how Ulty's creation Alkhema fits into that. Butler Jarvis pauses during serving more coffee to mention the origin of the term in Sophocles' play Oedipus Rex where Oedipus kills his father and marries his mother Jocasta, which is why the robot gave that name to his other 'female' creation with the brain-patterns of Wasp. He also refers to a couple of other Sophocles plays involving Oedipus' daughter Antigone (relevant later) and a play by Aeschylus about Oedipus' children called 7 Against Thebes, a city in Greece. And he segues from there to the older city Thebes in Egypt.Captain America immediately decides to send 2 teams to check both locations out, while Vision remains behind to continue researching other angles. Iron Man hasn't been here during the above conversation but now he joins them with Hawkeye in tow. He persuaded the Commission On Superhuman Affairs to let Clint Barton out of jail temporarily to help out because of his connection to Alkhema. Barton isn't that keen on confronting the robot whose mind is based on that of his dead wife Bobbi (Morse)/Mockingbird, but he'll do it for the team.Chapter 4: Wonders of the ancientsScript by Roy Thomas, pencils by John McCrea, inks by James Hodgkins.Cap, Hawkeye, Iron Man, Vision, Wasp and Yellowjacket head for Egypt in a quinjet while Scarlet Witch, Thor and Wonder Man take another quinjet to Greece. On the way the 1st team discuss the ethics of exterminating the new robotic species of life that Alkhema is probably following her father's plans by creating. Once they reach Luxor they have to split up further to cover the many subsites as quickly as possible. Cap and Vizh visit the Ramesseum, the mortuary temple of Pharaoh Ramesses II who the Greeks called Ozymandias, the subject of the famous poem by Shelley. TM and YJ cover another mortuary temple, that of Queen Hatshepsut. For Hawkeye and Wasp its the 2 Colossi of Memnon, all that remains of the m-t of Amenhotep III, that allegedly used to 'sing'. And they hear such a sound which suggests that recent changes at the site have reactivated the effect. Jan calls in the rest of the local squad and Clint finds a hidden trapdoor in the ground between the statues. As the other 4 join them he opens the door and they descend a new stairway ...Chapter 5: O, brave new world ...Script by Roy Thomas, pencils by Jim Starlin, inks by Al Milgrom.... to be attacked by a horde of robots, each bearing some combination of features of the original 6, from the brain patterns of the 6 chars Ultron considered part of his 'family'. But when the Robos, as they call themselves, realise that 3 (Vizh, YJ and Wasp) of their foes are 3 of their progenitors they stop fighting. And Jan tells the Robos that the other 3 Avengers are under their protection. They are led to a huge cavern containing multi-layered buildings and walkways that the Robos call Robotopia.Chapter 6: Deadly reunionScript by Steve Englehart, pencils by Pat Oliffe, inks by John Livesay.Suddenly Robos and humans alike are struck by an electric attack by Alkhema's less-humanoid War Toy robots, and an interaction with Hawkeye's electroshock arrow causes him to be limply thrown into the shadows. The Robos quickly recover but the other 5 humans are trapped in a bio-energy grid as Alkhema walks onstage. She orders the Avengers killed but the Robos protest about their 3 progenitors. But they back down when their 'mother' insists.Meanwhile Hawkeye is woken by the human Grim Reaper who has apparently followed a tracer he attached to his 'brother' Vision. Barton wants to contact the 3 Avengers in Greece but Williams warns him not to. The tracer went dead when Alkhema arrived and he fears another signal might alert her. So Clint reluctantly teams up with the villain and hatches a plan.Meanwhile Alkhy has been toying with the others, pretending to dither over which way to kill them while she builds up her power to eradicate them all. But she assures them she's not going to make the mistake of keeping them alive to watch her victory over humanity and thus give them the opportunity to thwart her. But then Grim Reaper's scythe blasts her from behind, and she turns to blast *him*. As he's smothered in War Toys Hawkeye steps in and threatens her with an arrow made of Antarctic vibranium. And she knows what that vibranium did to Ultron in Slorenia (#22).Alkhema changes her voice to that of Bobbi Morse who pleads with Clint not to sever her last link to life by killing the robot. He chooses to believe that means there is an aspect of his wife in there and begs her to take control of the villain, and maybe they can give her a better life in a body like Vision's. But Alkhema drops the charade and instead blasts a hole in a wall of the cavern ...... to expose another cavern beyond where another mass of bodies exists. She describes them as bio-synthezoids being birthed by a plastoid birthmatrix. And Vision realises they are like him! And she tells Hawkeye that if her kills her then *all* her children, synthezoids, Robos and War Toys, will self-destruct taking out the Avengers and much of Egypt. Clint is willing to die to end her but he can't kill his friends, and especially not Bobbi. She senses his hesitation and fires at him.But then another voice laughs ...Chapter 7: This evil ... unveiledScript by Steve Englehart, pencils by Jorge Lucas, inks by Mike Royer.... and she turns to see another body being created by the bio-synthezoids. And it is Ultron, who explains that he programmed Alkhema to recreate him, as he did the Vision (original #66-67) and Jocasta (Marvel Two-In-One #92) before her. She created the bio-synthezoids and now they have recreated him (but note he is now made of steel not adamantium). This plot development perturbs the Robos, and even the War Toys - allowing the bio-energy field to weaken ...... which allows Vision to escape and then disrupt it totally, freeing his comrades. Hawkeye too is back on his feet. And as a caption says "the pent-up melee begins". The sides are confused and confusing, but Captain America decides the best plan is to get Hank Pym to the bio-synth controls so he can shut the synthezoids down.In the centre of the fighting Alkhema confronts Ultron, who has not yet completely formed and still attached by the feet to his synthezoid growth medium. He taunts his 2nd 'wife' that her name is derived from Arabic (as in 'alchemy'), and Arabic law allows him to divorce her by saying "I divorce thee" 3 times. And in this case each utterance is accompanied by a blast of force. But *her* adamantium body easily survives and she orders (also 3 times) the Robos and War Toys to kill him.But Ultron slaughters them as they attack. Cap and Vision lament the genocide but Alkhy says she can always make more. All 3 kinds of robot are still fighting the Avengers. Yellowjacket reluctantly leaves his comrades and reaches the controls. He quickly figures out what to do, but nothing happens. Ultron gloats that he has taken control of the system that creates the synthezoids and is recreating *him*.Meanwhile Hawkeye has found his vibranium arrow and Grim Reaper. He knows the only way to stop Ultron is to destroy the whole complex by killing Alkhema, triggering the multiple self-destructs. But he still can't do it to Bobbi. Eric Willams tries to take the bow and arrow off him, but Clint says it's *got* to be him that does it. He tells the other humans to leave quickly and then takes aim at Alkhema. She uses Bobbi's voice again to say that she'd rather die than let Ultron win. He fires the arrow, and then a grapple arrow to a hole in the ceiling. As he climbs the rope to safety the female robot dies and her creations start to explode all over.Epilogue: The lone & level sands ...Script by Roy Thomas, art by Klaus Janson.All the Avengers escape (because the explosion didn't destroy much of Egypt - I guess Alkema exaggerated). None of the robots seem to have survived, but they hope Grim Reaper got out. Scarlet Witch, Thor and Wonder Man join them from Greece. Then the 2 quinjets head back home.When they've gone a bio-synthezoid climbs out of the whole. It is a young 'zoid and it's carrying the head of Ultron which orders it to take it to a lab and rebuild its body. But the youngster prefers to play, tossing the head in the air. It says that with all the other creations gone it's lonely so it will keep the head for company, and they wander off. And the young 'zoid chooses the name Antigone.

War across time chapter 2
Last issue the original Avengers suffered another attack by Kang The Conqueror and now they want to take the fight to him in his future era. Thor's hammer can't help them (in Journey Into Mystery #86 it needed a fragment of Zarrko's time-craft to guide it) so they've come to the Baxter Building to ask the Fantastic Four to let them use Dr Doom's time machine (there since Doom's 1st app in FF#5). The entrance is coded to admit their mailman Willie Lumpkin so they follow him in. But he also tells them that the FF have just left in their Fantasti-Car.He also tells them about the special elevator they'll have to use to get to their HQ on the top floors, but the HQ is booby-trapped to deal with unwelcome guests. However they barge ahead of him (carrying his heavy mailsack) and Iron Man tinkers with the lift controls to call the lift down. Captain America is unhappy being a burglar but the lift takes them safely up. Willie has to wait for the lift to return, but when he gets there he finds the team entangled in security tentacles which remind Thor of Jormungand the Midgard Serpent. Ant-Man grows to Giant-Man but can't snap the tentacles. But Cap's shield slices through some of them enabling IM to reach an off-switch.They find the time machine which is a platform on the floor. Wasp expects IM and her guy Hank Pym to figure out how to make it work, but GM says he doesn't understand time-travel and IM continues the fiction that he's not Tony Stark, merely his bodyguard. Thor tries summoning lightning but only scorches it. He impatiently leaves and the others follow. Willie dumps his mailsack near the time machine because the mailroom's full then he leaves too.But we hang around to see a parcel fall out of the sack and land on the TM's control box, turning it on. Possibly influenced by Thor's lightning it fetches Sindri, king of the Asgardian dwarves, from his hall in Nidavellir, a horn of mead in 1 hand and a haunch of meat in the other. He's understandably not happy. He can tell by the smell that he's on Midgard (Earth) and he can also detect a whiff of Thor on a fragment of tentacle. So he leaps out of a window and plummets to the pavement in search of the Thunder God, who he blames for all this.He has to force his little way through the bustling crowds and then bounds along the tops of cars stalled in the midtown traffic. He doesn't think much of their metalwork and easily dispels metal bullets fired at him by a couple of policemen. A taxi rams into him but he just picks it up and uses it to smash other cars, all the while calling out for Thor. Then the Thunder God turns up and tells him to go home. Sindri accuses the Odinson of bringing him here, which Thor denies so they start fighting. Peter Parker takes photos from an alley, and more as the other Avengers show up. He then runs off to sell the pics to J Jonah Jameson at the Daily Bugle, confidant that the team can handle the problem.Sindri temporarily gets the better of Thor so Iron Man leaps on him. But the dwarf king's mastery of iron enable him to mangle 1 of IM's gauntlets. Cap throws his shield which isn't made of iron (it's made of vibranium, but it's actually melded with steel). Wasp recognises young Patsy Walker (presumably from the comics her mother wrote about her) in the crowd and they exchange chat about the Beatles. Sindri hurls Cap into Giant-Man and then he picks up a metal bar with a lump of concrete on the end to use as a makeshift hammer against Thor. They again disagree about Thor bringing him here. Thor throws Mjolnir at him but the dwarf just plucks it out of the air, reminding the Thunder God that *he* made it for him. Things don't look good.

War across time chapter 3
Fed up with being attacked by Kang from the future then original Avengers decided to take the fight to *him*. They went to use Dr Doom's time machine in the Baxter Building but the Fantastic Four were away and even Iron Man (secretly Tony Stark) and Giant-Man couldn't figure out how to make it work. However chance events did turn it on and it fetched Sindri, king of the Asgardian Dwarves, from his feasting hall in Nidavellir. Not happy, he detected traces of Thor and blamed *him* and demanded to be sent back. A fight ensued during which Sindri took control of the Thunder God's hammer Mjolnir, which after all he and his Dwarves had created.Sindri and Thor continue their argument. The Dwarf hurls Mjolnir which severely damages a nearby building so the other Avengers leave them to it to go help civilians. Giant-Man grows several storeys high to prop the building up while Shellhead's repulsors break up falling rubble and Captain America herds people out of danger. Wasp takes over getting them to safety leaving Cap free to throw his shield to knock the hammer out of Sindri's grasp. But overconfident Thor doesn't think he needs it to defeat a Dwarf, allowing the king to summon Mjolnir back into his hand and belt his foe with it. They tussle for the magic weapon until the Thunder God summons lightning which makes his opponent let go.The Dwarf King refuses to surrender and causes the pavement to open up and swallow him. The team see a hole leading down into the depths breaking utility lines and pipes and then closing up to stop them following him. Thor doesn't know whether Sindri has found a way home or if he's still on Midgard planning more mischief. He also doesn't know how to respond when Wasp flirts with him.We see the Dwarf King walking past huge machinery and not noticing Moloids watching him from the shadows. Nor does he realise he's standing in the footprint of 1 of the giant monsters that lurk down here. But he attracted by smoke the fire-glow to where Lava Men watch their shaman Jinku calling on their gods. Jinku spots him and orders his followers to capture the intruding spy. But then they sense Sindri's power over the flames of a forge and bow down before him.In the far future Kang berates his minion Baltag for daring to suggest that something his lord wants is impossible. He insists that they can't see into the past. But Kang is determined to discover the Avengers' weakest moment so that he can capture them and bring them to the future to destroy them.'Meanwhile' the team convene in Avengers Mansion, but they only have time to summarise the situation before they have another menace to face - volcanic lava flowing down the streets of Manhattan. They correctly jump to the conclusion that it's the Lava Men (who they fought recently in their #5), and Thor also correctly guesses that they are in league with Sindri. But for now they leap to the aid of civilians again. Cap rescues a man from atop his lava-trapped car just before it explodes beneath him, and they surf to safety on his shield. The Golden Avenger rescues 2 more people and Giant-Man grabs a whole truckload. Thor rustles up a snowstorm to put the fires out.But then they are surrounded by Lava Men and all but the flying Wasp are soon submerged in burning-hot bodies. Her sting doesn't have much effect. And then Sindri appears from below to grab Mjolnir again. He bites Thor's arm to make him let go, and gives the Asgardian an ultimatum - send him home or he'll use the hammer to conquer Midgard. And then he disappears underground again, and the Lava Men follow him.

War across time
Thor's hammer Mjolnir brings the Avengers (him, Captain America, Giant-Man, Wasp) back to New York from Mexico where Spider-Man helped them defeat a robot duplicate of himself sent back in time by Kang (see Av(1963)#11) (Iron Man isn't with them because he's off fighting Mandarin in Tales Of Suspense #61-62.). The wind of their arrival damages a newsvendor's kiosk outside the Daily Bugle. Giant-Man does a rough repair while Wasp flirts with Thor. After the others go to their homes Cap is besieged by fans wanting autographs (and kisses) but he manges to get away.(Later?) a batch of Daily Bugle's are delivered to the newsstand with the front-page covering the battle between the Avengers and the villain Spider-Man. Secretary Betty Brant stops by to pick up a copy of every other newspaper for J Jonah Jameson, but they all have headlines stating that the Avengers have cleared Spidey's name. (That's why it must be later.) After she's gone a teen boy  comes up and asks the vendor about the Avengers, but he's missed them. (And it's not Peter Parker but Rick Jones.)In the far future Kang is fuming. His armies are still conquering worlds across the Galaxy but too many of the planets are barren wastelands (possibly after the conquering). Apparently he needs to conquer fertile 20th Century Earth while they've still got maximum crop yield before mankind wrecks the planet. He enters his museum of relics of the old heroes and trashes the place in a fit of pique. But Hulk's gamma-irradiated heart still beats and he conceives of another plan to defeat his foes.Giant-Man and Wasp have returned to Henry Pym's lab. Hank accuses Janet Van Dyne of drooling over Thor. She replies that it's just the normal reaction to a gorgeous body, as his is reacting to her now, and she suggests they hit the showers. But they have to answer a call asking for help from the Avengers or the Fantastic Four ...... because Hulk is rampaging through town. As he knocks over the Atlas statue at the Rockefeller Centre our duo confront him. GM tries to talk him down but the behemoth punches him out. Cap arrives to distract him from stomping on the big guy, using his shield and agility and a judo throw to hold his own until Hulk throws a Roxxon Oil truck which explodes against the front of St Patrick's Cathedral. The priest tries to calm the congregation inside.Cap is down too so it's up to Wasp to keep Hulk busy with stings to the face and eyes. His flailing fists can't catch her but a super-breath blows her away. Giant-Man has recovered and angrily grows building-size to pin him down. He at last notices that Hulk's eyes are glowing red, but now it's the Green Giant's turn to employ judo. Then Thor arrives and Mjolnir smashes into Hulk before returning to its master's hand. A titanic fist fight ensues until Hulk buries Thor under the side of a building, separated from his hammer.All the Avengers are down but now Rick Jones turns up and tries to revive Cap. Hulk recognises Rick but seemingly not because he was his sidekick in the 6-issue Hulk series but because he ruined his master's plan (ie Kang's initial attack in Av#8, by pushing a button which freed the team). Hulk says there's no button to save them now. But all this makes Rick realise that this is a Kang-built Hulk robot, which the foe admits because he's going to kill the boy ...... except now Iron Man turns up with repulsor blasts. (An editorial comment says he's just got back from defeating Mandarin in TOS#62.) Shellhead now also tries to reason with 'Hulk' but of course ends up having to fight him. Hulk grabs an armoured ankle but IM's boot jets take them into the air and he drops Greenie on the Rockefeller ice rink. But he wishes Thor were here because he's the only 1 with a chance of defeating the foe ...... but we see Wasp finding Mjolnir and hearing a weak cry for help under the nearby rubble. The Avengers don't know about Thor's alter ego so she doesn't know it's Dr Don Blake who's there because the Thunder God can't stay Thor for more than a minute without his hammer. She alerts the assembled emergency services to the trapped guy and then goes looking for Thor and Giant-Man.At the ice rink Hulk throws some rubble at the Golden Avenger which damages his repulsors. So to keep Hulk safely occupied he activates the roller skates in his boots and runs rings round the lumbering big guy. Jan finds Hank and wakes him with a kiss. They join Rick and Cap, and the youth tells them that Hulk's a Kang robot. He comments that the real Hulk is fuelled by gamma rays and anger. Without Thor they need to use brains, and Henry Pym comes up with an idea. Iron Man is still taunting 'Hulk' who keeps slipping on the ice. Angrily he smashes the surface to the water beneath. IM now has 1 repulsor working ...... but Wasp flies up to tell him to back off and follow Cap's lead. CA gets Hulk's attention with his flung shield and then leads him on a chase through the streets with police clearing the way ahead. They reach a subway station where Wasp and Ant-Man on a flying ant are organising an evacuation. Shellhead distracts Hulk while Cap protects a frail old lady from flying rocks. (It's May Parker worrying about her nephew Peter.) IM's magnets tangle Hulk in twisted metal bars but he tears free. The combined Avengers (without Thor) lead him deeper into the station and onto the tracks where he gets fried by the 3rd rail with 750 volts ...... however that's still not enough to stop the robot. So they lead him into the subway tunnel where he collapses. Pym theorises that the robot needed gamma rays to function and underground he's been cut off from them all. IM's repulsors break open the robot's chest and they are surprised to find a green glowing heart. They wonder if it could really be the real Hulk's heart (from Kang's future). Hank says he could do a post-mortem. But Mjolnir smashes the robot to bits and Thor says they should let Hulk's spirit go to Valhalla as an ex-Avenger deserves.Iron Man says that Kang is getting tiresome and they need to take the fight to him. Watching from the future Kang says bring it on, he's got all the time in the world to get ready for them.

War across time chapter 5
Kang The Conqueror has attacked the original Avengers several times from the future so they decided to take the fight to him. But several problems intervened in this mini-series and they never made it. But now Kang is teleporting 4 of them (while Thor is absent) to the future anyway.Captain America, Giant-Man, Iron Man and Wasp tumble through the timestream and arrive at the despot's feet with a thump. He gloats that he will dispose of them and then go back for Thor, which will leave their century of Earth wide open for conquest (but what about the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Dr Strange, the X-Men and Daredevil?). Wasp asks why he's so-interested in that time and he replies that as a master of time he conquers worlds when they are at the peak of their civilisation so the he can plunder their 'treasures' like her. So saying he zaps her. Her lover GM leaps to her aid but she zaps Kang back. Cap uses his shield to protect them both form a retaliatory blast.They all try to rush the foe but he erects a force screen between them which repels the Golden Avenger's repulsor rays and Cap's shield. IM figures the field must require a lot of energy and flies off to investigate. Cap rallies the remainder of his troops and Giant-Man tries hitting the forcefield with a giant fist. But Kang responds by changing the field so it encloses them in a small space. Which quickly gets smaller. Cap gets GM to shrink to Wasp-size before the field shrinks to man-size. He himself has to scrunch up but his shield stops the field getting even smaller. Kang is impressed. He's collected other versions of the shield but none of them were made from the special material that is this strong.While he's gloating again we see in the background Shellhead approaching the top of a huge pylon that we saw on arrival. There's a large explosion there, and we learn that Kang refers to it as a solar tower. The shrinking forcefield dissipates so that was obviously its power source. As the tower melts Kang bemoans the rare silicon isotopes involved in its workings that took him years to harvest from many worlds. Iron Man returns with the damaged ball from the top of the pylon and smashes it in front of the Conqueror.As the team converge on Kang he activates an older technology that doesn't rely on that power source. It's a time square like Dr Doom invented and the Avengers fall through it. The villain says they may not find their way back to their home time/world. But even if they do he has all the time in his world to devise more ways to defeat them.Falling through the timestream again this time they're buffeted by winds which threaten to scatter them but they manage to keep together. They pass through many times/realities:- The Avengers of 20XX. A collection of heroes vs Galactus (who of course the Avengers haven't seen yet). The Young Avengers and Iron Lad. An army of Earth-616 Avengers. A scene from the Infinity Gauntlet event. Avengers on a Skrull spaceship during the Kree-Skrull War event (Av#96 to be precise). The villainous Squadron Sinister (I believe rather than some of the heroic Squadron Supreme). Ultron (which terrifies Henry Pym even though he hasn't created it yet). Wasp with Yellowjacket (Henry Pym) and Goliath (Clint Barton) (c. #66-74). Wasp meeting Vision for the 1st time (#57). Black Widow and Red Guardian (#43-44). Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch and Hawkeye's arrows (ie most of Cap's Kooky Quartet).Then they arrive with another thump in front of the newsstand from #1, and a glance at the Daily Bugle's front page coverage of their battle with Sindri tells them they are in the correct time. Iron Man raises the usual question of how they can know that this is *really* their timeline? Giant-Man wonders what all those visions were (with and without a capital V)? Cap says they might have been illusions, or maybe glimpses of their future. But for now they'll stick to their own time and be ready to defeat Kang whenever he turns up.

War across time chapter 4
The original Avengers were fed up with Kang attacking them from the future and tried to use the Fantastic Four's time machine (while the FF were away) to go fight him in his own time. But instead they accidentally brought Sindri, king of the Asgardian Dwarves, from his home in Nidavellir. Sindri demanded to be sent back but the team don't know how so the angry Dwarf teamed up with the Lava Men to attack Manhattan and steal Thor's hammer Mjolnir.The foes have retreated back underground and Thor is now panicking because he knows that in a minute without the hammer he'll revert to mortal Donald Blake. He digs a hole in the ground to try to follow them but then runs off. Captain America decides to follow his plan and keep digging. Wasp spots a nearby bulldozer and Giant-Man and Iron Man remove its shovel to use in the task.Deep underground Sindri gets the Lava Men to lead him to the heart of their volcano. If it is hot enough he will be able to unforge Mjolnir and release the power Odin put in it. He can use that power to get home, even if that happens to destroy Midgard (and Thor).Don Blake watches as Giant-Man's shovel and Iron Man's repulsors burrow into the Earth. He muses that if he had Mjolnir he could call his father Odin for help. But then if he had the hammer he wouldn't need the help.Now the Avengers have bored through to a natural tunnel system where they're attacked by a horde of Lava Men. The 3 men fight back while Wasp goes looking for Sindri and the hammer. The caverns feel cooler away from the Lava Men, which gives her another idea. She heads back to the others and asks IM if his armour has a thermal scanner. She suggests they head for the hottest part of the tunnels. But she wonders what they'll do when they get there. Cap smilingly suggests they use a magic trick to retrieve a magic hammer.In the future Kang and his army have conquered another world but he's disappointed to have found nothing useful or interesting there. When a soldier asks whether *all* the planet's leaders should be killed Kang shoots him for questioning his orders. Another guy rushes up to tell him that he must return home because the machine to summon the Avengers to the future is ready. Kang shoots *him* for daring to tell him what to do.The Avengers reach Sindri before he can throw Mjolnir in the volcano. He sends the Lava Men against him and they begin to overwhelm Giant-Man and Iron Man. GM escapes by shrinking to ant size so Wasp can carry him to safety. Cap nimbly avoids the grasp of the Lava Men and goads Sindri into throwing the hammer at him. He dodges the flying mallet which keeps on going out of the cavern as Cap reminds the King that when thrown Mjolnir always returns to its owner, ie Thor. Sindri tries to throttle him but the die is cast.Up above the mallet zooms up out of the hole in the ground and into the hand of the waiting Don Blake. There's blinding lightning ...... and Thor joins the combat below and quickly ends it. He summons a storm to wash the Lava Men away and douse their flames. The he grabs Sindri and carries him off to Asgard for judgement, leaving his teammates alone again. But a light takes them to the future.

The story opens on a page from an old comic book in which young Roger Stevens goes to buy liberty bonds to aid in the war effort. However, he discovers that the local agent is selling counterfeit liberty bonds to undermine America in its struggle against the Nazi menace. But surprise! Roger utters the magic words "Rockets Red Glare!" and he is transformed into the patriotic hero Sir Spangled, the Human Tank, and with the aid of his faithful dog, Liberty Bonds, cleans up this nest of traitors….
We step back to see that this comic book page has been reprinted in the newspaper and is being read by Hawkeye to the other Avengers, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, and Wolverine. The team finds the comic—written and drawn by the pre-Captain America Steve Rogers—to be an embarrassment though. Peter continues to mock the book unaware that Cap has entered the room; when he comes face-to-face with the veteran hero, he hastily asks for Cap’s autograph. The comic pages are being auctioned off for charity but Cap isn’t interested, he outgrew such things when he became a hero. Instead Cap is approaching the group for a mission. While the Avengers assemble, Peter suddenly realizes the implications: Cap was a comics nerd, which means Pete and his hero have something in common….
The Avengers are undertaking a mission against the Serpent Society in the wake of the recent attempted gassing of Grand Central Station (issue #4) and, accompanied by Red Hulk, surround the villains’ hideout. Spidey’s attempts to bond with the more focused Cap over their perceived geek ties distract the Webslinger from the mission but in the end three members of the enemy organization are captured. During the clean-up, Spidey encourages Cap to meet him to toss around ideas about comic books but Cap is noncommittal….
The next evening, Pete shows Steve his new purchase: the framed comic page they were discussing earlier. Pete tries to get Steve excited about his original passion but the old soldier has outgrown such things. The two are divided between Steve’s not wanting to be a kid again and Peter’s never having stopped. Later, as Pete prepares to throw out his childhood chemistry set, Steve invites him into the kitchen to ask advice about creating a new comic book hero. "I have to say, this is all coming back to me…" "How do you know it ever left?"

As the story opens, Spider-Man is agonizing over his busy and confusing schedule while the Avengers are battling A.I.M. and their giant robot. His more powerful teammates vanquish the mechanical monster and after the confrontation is over, he asks for a lift back to New York. Since everyone refuses before Red Hulk realizes what they are doing, he ends up elected to carry Spidey back to his hometown. As the crimson giant bounds across the country, Spidey tries to joke with him but finds him even more humorless than the green one. As they approach the George Washington Bridge, they find the city in turmoil: at the start of the New York Marathon, a swarm of Moloids erupted from their underground lair and attacked the runners, carrying off Mayor J. Jonah Jameson. When the Moloid leader spies the two heroes, he blows on a whistle and summons a giant monster with rows of teeth and multiple serpent-like tongues to swallow Spidey and Red. The creature secretes some sort of toxin which drugs to two Avengers into a coma. Far underground, Jameson comes face-to-face with the Mole Man, who dispatched his Moloids to capture him. The Mole Man, mistaking Jameson for the King of New York, is seeking his help against…and then it becomes clear that the Mole Man is in chains, at the mercy of his conquerors, an army of fearsome warriors from the Earth’s depths….

Thirty
years ago, Nick Fury was working for the CIA alongside Agent Nia Jones and
their successful mission against Leviathan led to a romance between the two—and
Marcus Johnson was the result. When Nia discovered she was pregnant, she
decided to keep the baby and she and Fury arranged for her to have a new
identity far from the spy life, so that she would be safe from any of her old
enemies. And she was—until three weeks ago when the secret was uncovered and
given to the villain Orion, leader of the Russian terrorist organization
Leviathan. Orion had Marcus’ mother killed to draw him out; the dying Orion
wants the Infinity Formula to regain his youth and become immortal—and the
formula was inherited by Marcus in his DNA. Marcus refuses to believe this and
the two men fight and are then gassed and captured by Leviathan….
Cheese
awakens from the punch Marcus gave him and deduces where Marcus has gone….
Marcus
and Nick Fury awaken chained up in a lab; Viktor Ulanov, the aged Orion, has
them prisoner. Marcus promises revenge against Orion who orders his man to cut
out Marcus’ left eye. Fury and Marcus break free, Marcus falls down a shaft and
Fury is recaptured. A blood transfusion is set up between Fury and Ulanov but
it’s only a temporary measure as the serum in Fury’s body is old and breaking
down whereas Marcus’ is still young and strong. A rejuvenated Orion dons his armor,
ready to revive Leviathan as well….
Down
in the sewer, Marcus overcomes and kills the two guards searching for him and,
armed, he heads back to the lab to finish his mission….

The Story Thus Far
Following recent events, culminating in the US getting involved in a war between Wakanda, Atlantis, the Deviants of Lemuria and Dr Doom, the Senate Intelligence Committee is holding a closed hearing to decide whether the US can afford the risk of allowing the Black Panther to stay in the country. As King of Wakanda he can't of course be put on trial. But he has agreed to attend the hearing, with Everett K. Ross, his State Department minder, as his defence lawyer.Captain America is called as a witness for the defence. He describes his first contact with Wakanda, which is still a state secret.Cap and a troop of Military Intelligence soldiers went to the hidden African kingdom of Wakanda during WWII to investigate the source of a sample of vibranium. He met the then Black Panther, T'Challa's father T'Chaka. They sparred, while armed natives held off the GI's. Impressed by Cap's skill and restraint, T'Chaka agreed to talk to him. The US was worried that the Germans might find out about vibranium, and overrun Wakanda to take it. T'Chaka showed his knowledge of the state of the war (and of languages), which the US was still officially neutral in.Back in the courtroom Ross seems to be acting more like the prosecution than the defence. Cap recommended the Panther as an Avenger back in Captain America #100 and Avengers #52 (the original series both). But Ross gets Cap to admit that (in #8) T'Challa claimed to have joined the Avengers to investigate them as a potential threat to his country. And that (in #9) he accused a US Government agency of trying to take over Wakanda.The next defence witness Mr Fantastic describes how (in the classic Fantastic Four #52-54) the Panther invited the FF to hitherto-hidden Wakanda to suss out this new breed of super-heroes.A third witness police officer Price fills in the gap between last issue and this. Last issue ended with T'Challa (who had submitted to arrest for killing Klaw) and Ross being menaced by a mob angry at Wakanda's apparent attack on the US. Arresting officer Price was steeling herself to defend them with her gun, when the Panther escaped his handcuffs and carried Price and Ross to safety.Ross finally makes his point. T'Challa isn't a superhero. He is the leader of a sovereign nation who does what is necessary for his country. Wakanda doesn't need the US, it can stand on its own. But T'Challa is willing to be a friend of the US. And along the way Ross throws in that the Panther has actually been one of the good guys.Behind the scenes the Committee decide not to ban Black Panther from the US. We then have several epilogues.T'Challa proposes to Monica Lynne, but she rejects him and they part friends.We see a continuation of the WWII meeting between Cap and T'Chaka. T'Chaka gives Cap a chunk of vibranium. He asks how he can trust Cap to keep Wakanda and vibranium a secret, if he lets Cap and the soldiers return to the US. Cap gives him his triangular shield as a sign of their deal. Cap's idea of keeping the secret is to tell the US Government (as he was bound to do), but ensure that the existence of Wakanda is kept classified.Today Cap recalls how Myron McLaine incorporated the vibranium into his indestructible round shield (as shown in CA#303). Panther returns the triangular shield. A caption lets us know it wasn't the only one Cap had (another was destroyed in Avengers #275). But Cap gives it back to him.Ross remembers (in a scene from #1) his dead (since #24) girlfriend/boss Nikki Adams, in their wrecked apartment (trashed by Nikki in #18). He wonders if he can get his treason charges dropped (treason because he sided with Wakanda). He gets a visit from his disgruntled (because of Ross's actions with the Black Panther) new boss Henry Peter Gyrich (bugbear of the Avengers). Then Mephisto turns up! (We haven't seen him since #1-5 where, amongst other things, Ross sold his soul for a pair of trousers.)

God loves, Moon kills: part 2 of 2
Last issue Agents Of Wakanda Broo and Gorilla-Man disappeared on the Moon. Black Panther and Okoye took John Jameson and potential recruit Mockingbird after them. They found a large sentient plant living under the surface which had subdued the 1st 2 Agents with hallucinogens, and now added Jameson and Okoye to its captive pool.We get a short history of astronaut John Jameson who found a gemstone on the Moon (Amazing Spider-Man #124) which turned him into the feral Man-Wolf on full Moons. In Marvel Premiere #45-46 he returned to the Moon and went through a portal to a fantasy realm where he was the Stargod, the Man-Wolf with his human mind. Now in his hallucinogenic dream he is Stargod once more in the Other-World.Mockingbird is still free underground and has come across the tubes containing Jameson and Okoye. But Bobbi Morse is attacked by some of the plant's tentacles, and appears to be losing the battle.Panther is also free on the surface and manages to begin communicating with the plant by sound. He leaps off the surface to get a better look around, and also to give the other a chance to see him. And he sees greenery erupting from 3 areas which suggest eyes and a mouth. The being calls herself Entea and relates her origin:-There is a living planet called Euphoria that manifests when necessary as a green female plant-being. (We see a confrontation between her and Silver Surfer from SS(2014)#12.) She welcomed travellers many of whom stayed because they found peace there. The Elder Of The Universe called the Gardener turned up 1 time and offered a way to spread such peace to other worlds. He mated with Euphoria and their child was Entea. (And last issue we saw that Gardener planted Entea on the Moon some time ago.) Unfortunately the Moon is barren and doesn't support her existence well.Mockingbird rallies against her foe and breaks John free from his prison and his dream. He becomes Man-Wolf in reality and slashes the tentacles off Bobbi who in turn releases Okoye from *her* dream of being back in Wakanda with her fellow Dora Milaje. They leave MW to his ferocity and go find Broo and Gorilla Man. As seen last issue the Broodling's vision is of basking in the adulation of the other X-People, and Ken Hale similarly being feted by other animal-based characters. But as he is awoken his dream turns to a nightmare as the Hellhound Sarge reminds him that he secretly betrayed the Avengers to Dracula (Av#19).Entea wants the energy of Jameson's Godstone to sustain her, and he becomes Stargod to resist her. T'Challa arrives and persuades him to give the plant-thing a portion of his energy to assuage her. When he learns the full situation John hatches a plan. As Stargod he opens a portal to Other-Realm and takes them all through. But instead of a verdant paradise they find a desolate wasteland, and everything he knew has gone. But Entea says there *is* sustenance for her buried beneath the sand, and she begins to green the world again.John decides to stay with her for a while to settle her in, and then he'll use the Star Gem to get home again. The others return to the Spearpoint-01 spacecraft and head back to Earth. Mockingbird agrees to join the Agents. Entea has completely removed herself from the Moon, but her caverns remain and the satellite now has a smiling face to look down on Earth.

God loves, Moon kills: part 1 of 2
Last issue ended with Black Panther getting a message from Broo that the Moon is hungry.But we start with a flashback to the Avengers: No Surrender story arc when the Earth was stolen by Elders Of The Universe Challenger and Grandmaster as a site for a game. At the same time the Moon disappeared elsewhere. We now learn that another Elder the Gardener found it. This was during his period of madness in All-New Guardians Of The Galaxy, and as part of that madness we see that he planted something beneath the surface. Planet and moon were then reinstated in their proper places at the end of No Surrender.3 hours before the message Broo and Gorilla-Man were in space testing an upgraded detection array on a satellite when they picked up an anomaly on the Moon and went to investigate.Now Agent John Jameson (Man-Wolf) welcomes Mockingbird (Bobbi Morse) to the Wakandan helicarrier base of the Agents Of Wakanda. She's been invited to join the team by its Director Okoye but doesn't yet know if it's right for her. Then T'Challa calls John up and says they have a mission that needs his astronaut experience, and Bobbi can come too. They suit up and join Panther and Okoye. BP tells them about Broo and GM investigating something on the Moon, and "the Moon is hungry" was their last transmission 9 minutes ago before losing contact. The other Avengers are busy and the Alpha Flight station is on the far side of the Earth so the Agents are taking the job.They launch in Wakandan space craft Spearpoint-02. Mocky asks what happened to -01 and is reassured that Broo and G-Man flew it to the satellite and then the Moon. But then T'Challa tells her that the 17 prototypes all blew up. However they do reach the Moon safely very quickly and land where the last transmission came from. However there's no sign of the Agents or their craft. Mockingbird notices that there aren't even any footprints, and then that *they* aren't leaving footprints either.She stoops to examine the Moondust and declares it strangely organic. And then green tentacles erupt from the ground and start to drag them and their spaceship down. As the other 3 fight back Panther goes with the flow and penetrates deeper underground seeking the root of this vegetable monster. His special BP suit repels large spores that try to get to him. And then he finds something.Meanwhile we see Broo being pampered by adoring X-females in awe of his genius. And Gorilla-Man winning a drinking contest hosted by Howard The Duck with an audience of other animal-themed Marvel chars. But in reality T'Challa has just located them floating in their helmet-less spacesuits in a tank of liquid. Avoiding more tentacles he comes across the Spearpoint-01. A password gets him in but he finds that the vegetation has invaded and is draining the craft's energy. He tells the ship to power down, and the tentacles don't like that. He authorises the vessel to self-destruct then exits quickly. The explosion throws him to the surface.That has really woken the plant-thing up. And our view pulls back to see glowing eyes and mouth etched into the Moon's surface. This is now a living planetoid.Mockingbird has survived her tentacular encounter. But she discovers John and Okoye also now floating in liquid.

Legion of Foom: part 2
While Black Panther and Okoye were away on a diplomatic mission to the Congress Of Worlds in Asgard, Avengers Mountain HQ (the body of a dead Celestial at the North Pole) was attacked by 3 dragons last issue. American Eagle, Fat Cobra, Gorilla-Man, Ka-Zar and Mockingbird were the only ones around to defend the place while Broo tried to work out what the dragons were shouting about in an alien language. He eventually got translation working and it turned out that they were looking for a traitor, who Broo found was a shrunken Fin Fang Foom hiding in a waste paper basket.Outside jet-packed Eagle swoops down to rescue Ka-Zar who fell in the freezing water while Cobra, GM and Mocky continue to harass the dragons who are trying to break in to the Celestial. Inside FFF tells Broo what's going on. He's a Makluan from Kakaranthara who left with some others in search of adventure. He himself found lots of it on Earth (we see him being attacked by the Army and fighting Hulk), but eventually he yearned for peace once more. His home planet was gone but he left Earth for space to have some kids (see the 2015 Drax series). Only 1 egg survived but he rejected the hatchling because it would only learn rage from him. He returned to Earth and his violent ways (we see him in Tony Stark: Iron Man #1).But Fin later tried to change his inner self, and the result was that he vomited up 3 eggs which hatched into the 3 full-size dragons outside, representing his rage, guilt and selfishness. He himself was reduced to his current minuscule size, and he fled to the Avengers for help. But they aren't here.Jason Strongbow finds Ka-Zar holding a metal ball. The jungle lord claims that this cold water is nothing to one who lives in the Antarctic Savage Land, but he's retrieved a naval mine planted as a defence against Sub-Mariner and his Defenders Of The Deep. Now he activates it and throws it at 1 of the dragons. It has *some* effect, but not a lot. Fat Cobra is punching another dragon with his version of the Iron Fist. He compares the dragon unflatteringly with Shou-Lao, the dragon of K'un-Lun. But *that* dragon isn't here so this 1 grabs Cobra and pummels him unconscious.Broo gets a report that the dragons have breached the outer shell of the Celestial. He tells mini-Foom that he must stop the dragons before they cause the HQ to lose power completely and release some really dangerous prisoners. He thinks Fin can't *really* have expelled his selfishness because he's being very selfish now. And Broo himself has to constantly keep his Brood-ish anger in check so Foom should be able to handle *his*. In reply FFF grows larger and agrees to do something.The other dragons are trying to widen the breach so Gorilla-Man and Mockingbird retreat inside to defend it from within. American Eagle is still outside carrying Ka-Zar when the see Fin Fang Foom flying towards them with Broo riding on his back. The other dragons immediately abandon the Avengers HQ and turn to attack their 'father'. They meet in mid-air, there's an explosion (with a FOOM sound-effect) and Fin Fang Foom emerges alone at full size. But his anger is back and *he* now attacks the Agents Of Wakanda.But a rent opens in the sky and out of it fall the Warriors 3 (Fandral, Hildegarde and Hogun) along with Okoye and Hugin the raven. They all attack the big dragon until Broo tries to stop them. Hugin saves the Broodling as he falls off the dragon and carries him round to the front to talk to his new friend. The others decide to give diplomacy a chance. Broo talks him down and FFF declares a truce. Ken Hale wants restitution for the damage, but leader Okoye accepts peace. Foom  promises to aid Broo if ever he needs him, and then flies away.

Legion of Foom: part 1 of 2
Gorilla-Man, Avengers Mountain's Security Chief, is sleeping off a hangover with earplugs when he's awakened by an attack which shakes him off the bed, and Mockingbird trying to tell him about the alarm sounding. While Black Panther and Okoye (and it seems all the actual Avengers) are away he's in charge. As Ken Hale grabs a big gun and they race through corridors the lights go out. Broo, head of IT, manages to get in touch with them when the backup power supply kicks in, and tells them that the only other occupants of the HQ currently are fellow Agents Of Wakanda American Eagle, Fat Cobra and Ka-Zar.They get to a view outside and see they are under attack by 3 fire-breathing dragons. There are some gunships out there fighting 1 of them, probably remote-piloted by Broo. Fat Cobra is generating his own chi-flames as he rides on the back of another of the dragons and punches it with his own version of the Iron Fist. American Eagle has a jet pack and attacked by a jet of flame from the 3rd dragon as he is towing Ka-Zar through the air. Jason Strongbow throws Ka-Zar at that dragon and flies in front of it to distract it.Broo says he can't unleash the Mountain (ie dead Celestial's body)'s own defences because they are short of power since repelling the Frost Giant army (#19 during War Of The Realms), and he doesn't want to risk freeing the dangerous prisoners they've accumulated. So Mocky and GM exit the building to help trying to lead/drive the foe away.Cobra's dragon manages to dislodge him with a sweep of the tail which slams him into the side of the Celestial. Eagle's giant dragon catches up to him and engulfs him in his mouth. But Ka-Zar slices a forearm open with his vibranium-enhanced knife, and the dragon howls in pain and spits Strongbow out. Gorilla Man is hanging from a support and shooting at dragon #1. Bobbi Morse leaps onto its head and delivers electric shocks with her batons.For a breather we switch to the new Yggdrasil in Asgard where the Congress Of Worlds (ie of the Asgardian Realms) is meeting, welcomed by Senator Volstagg of Asgard. Black Panther is there as Midgard's representative talking to Screwbeard the Dwarf. T'Challa declines to drink, and Screwbeard jokingly accuses him of not knowing when it's time to worry and time to party.Okoye, Director of the Agents, is there with him, but talking to the Warriors 3 Fandral, Hogun and Hildegarde (who replaced Volstagg). They too are keeping out of the party (well, Fandral's got a drink). Okoye is worried that her Kimoyo beads don't work here so she doesn't know what might be happening back on Earth. Fandral calls on Huginn, 1 of Odin's 2 ravens, who swallows 1 of the beads. And suddenly Okoye gets the Avengers alarm.The dragons have been shouting in an alien language, and the Mountain's computers have begun to decipher it. Dragon #2 spews a river of fire over Fat Cobra. But he just absorbs it all and breathes it back at the dragon. American Eagle is impressed. Broo transmits the improved translations of the dragon's speech to the Agents, and it seems that they are accusing the Avengers of protecting someone. Ka-Zar is now climbing dragon #3's back but he too gets brushed of by the tail.Dragons #2&3 join together in attacking the Celestial's head directly, shouting "Release the traitor". Little Broo sends a large hologram of himself to ask them what they're talking about. But then a little voice comes from a waste paper basket. And he finds inside a shrunken Fin Fang Foom.

Egregious autonomous: part 2 of 2
Last issue Black Panther led a selection of Agents Of Wakanda (Dr Nemesis, Okoye, Roz Solomon and Wasp) to investigate an old SHIELD base that had suddenly come back to life. They were forced to team up with Deadpool, and inside they found 2 of the reactivated Life-Model-Decoy-based mecha team Livewires (Hollowpoint Ninja and Social Butterfly). Our guys defeated them. And then what looked like Nick Fury (the original 1) popped up with 2 more figures.Nick introduces the new 2 as Cornfed and Gothic Lolita. There are also more bodies suspended in liquid in containment tubes, including Hollowpoint Ninja and Social Butterfly having their damage repaired. There's also a 'girl' hooked up to all the tubes who Fury calls Stem Cell, the team's 'engineering specialist and networking core'. He describes these new 'SHIELD Agents' as expendable nano-enhanced LMDs that can be churned out to order in this expanded Project Livewire. It's the future of SHIELD to deal with the escalating super-problems of the world. (Obviously no-one's told whoever this 'Nick Fury' is that SHIELD was disbanded after the Secret Empire event.)T'Challa is suspicious because because this isn't how the Fury he remembers would treat his soldiers, even android ones. (Not to mention Nick Fury's dead (except we know he's now the Unseen confined to the Moon), and (as I mentioned before) SHIELD is too.) Deadpool then asks Fury how he eats his pizza (the relevance of which will become clear later). And when Fury is confused by this he shoots him in the face, exposing him as another LMD (I told you so last issue).Fury orders Lolita to go on the attack. She slashes Deadpool's throat, presumably with sharp fingernails. (DP comments through the 4th wall that this comic won't show extreme violence clearly.) Then she punches Black Panther but his vibranium-laced costume absorbs the energy and sends it back to her, and she crashes into the containment tubes. But a computer voice reacts to this and sends lots more LMDs into the fight.Director Okoye orders Solomon and Wasp to shut down the controlling network while she, Nemesis and Panther deal with the LMDs. Dr Nemesis' tranquilizer darts won't be any use but he switches them to deliver electric shocks, very effective against *these* foes. Jan and Roz follow cables to where we saw Stem Cell, but she's gone.Deadpool has disconnected her, and now he drags her semi-conscious body along a tunnel. But Gothic Lolita catches up with them and attacks him. He reminds her that they were once allies (in his 2016 Annual), but she says that her new programming doesn't allow free choice. But Stem Cell steps between them and GL freezes because she's also not allowed to hurt others of Project Livewire. SC thanks 'Pool for freeing her from the network so her core programming could reassert itself. And now she causes GL to remember how she used to be.Cue a quick summary of the events of the Livewires series. AIM built them to take down rival organisations. But they overcame their programming and fought *against* AIM and other baddies. (Actually I think the series said that the scientist-with-a-conscience that created them for AIM *programmed* them to reject their programming.) In particular they went up against a bunch of rogue Nick Fury LMDs that formed a hive-mind. Now Stem Cell says says that the nanotech behind the Furys must have infected them, and eventually took them over. So she must now purge the nanobots from the system.Meanwhile Okoye uses a Kimoyo Bead surge to stun the attacking robots. Fury protrudes a jet pack from his back and attempts to escape to restart the Project elsewhere. Panther leaps to grab his foot and is carried aloft. The LMD says that even if T'Challa destroys this body the Project's programming will recreate him in another 1. There'll be a worldwide network of Livewire bases. BP decapitates him anyway, and the body explodes.Roz Solomon rescues falling Panther in midair with her glider wings, and they and Wasp head towards Nemesis and Okoye who are surrounded by LMDs again. Okoye orders DrN to save himself while she holds them off. But the point becomes moot as the robots suddenly all announce that they've been taken offline. The computer voice starts a self-destruct countdown, and Deadpool races past to lead the Agents Of Wakanda outside.Dr Nemesis is worried that when the base goes up it will spread the nanoparticles into the air. DP solves that problem by getting the entrance to seal up. His command is obeyed because he uses the passphrase "Nick Fury eats pizza with a fork". (See, I told you it would be explained. And this is obviously how Wade Wilson got the base to let him in last issue.) There's a ground-shaking explosion but everything is contained.3 hours later Okoye and T'Challa have a meeting on the Wakandan helicarrier. She reports that Deadpool has deactivated the trace Panther slapped on him during the fight. BP says he didn't arrest DP on the spot because he couldn't risk the chaos that Wade would bring with him to the helicarrier. Okoye completes the debriefing by saying she's sent a crew to make the Livewire site safe.Then she continues the conversation they had at the beginning of last issue. T'Challa had said that the Agents were expendable, and now she disagrees with him. And he *agrees* with her. Last issue she complained that they weren't as organised as the Wakandan Dora Milaje she also commands. He suggested their expendability because he *knew* she would reject the idea, but that would make her reassess their worth. He knew she would put the lives of her troops before her own, as she did with Dr Nemesis.In an epilogue a SHIELD satellite receives a signal which it transmits down to a site in Australia. And this kickstarts another Project Livewire which recreates the 5 Livewires.

Eye of the storm: part 1 of 2
When Black Panther became leader of the latest Avengers team he created a support group for them that he called the Agents Of Wakanda. Now they have their own book.Agents Wasp (Janet Van Dyne) and John Jameson are in Miami dealing with a group calling themselves the Scavengers who have stolen experimental weaponry developed by the defunct (since Secret Empire) SHIELD agency. Jan is zipping around drawing fire from 4 of them in a car while John approaches in a cloaked SHIELD-type flying car (a Wakandan All-Terrain Mobile Command Post). He (flashily but unnecessarily?) flips his vehicle over in midair and shoots the villains' car with a vibranium bullet. *That* car then flips over (pinning the driver?).Wasp spots 2 foes on their feet and zaps 1 unconscious. The missing 4th decloaks herself and shoots Jameson in the back, but this only makes him turn into the Man-Wolf. As the angry beast savagely attacks the panicking female, Wasp takes the remaining guy out of the picture with a blow below the belt. Then she has to talk John down from killing his opponent.Jan contacts their Director to tell them the mission is successful. She reports 6 criminals captured, so they must have nabbed 2 others before page 1. The Wakandan helicarrier arrives to pick them up and Director Okoye debriefs the pair. She asks John why his bio-readings rose so high during the fight. Jan lays into him for losing it. If they're to be a team she needs to trust him. He agrees to more testing of his control. After he's gone Jan asks Okoye why T'Challa hired such a loose cannon. The Director replies that her king believes all the Agents have their uses.The pair are called to a meeting in the Garden holographic briefing room in the helicarrier with Black Panther and Fat Cobra, 1 of the Immortal Weapons, munching snacks as usual. Okoye explains that other Agents are away on other missions. Ka-Zar is dealing with the rampaging Two-Headed Thing in Maui. Roz Solomon is tracking Rock Trolls in Australia's Gibson Desert, left over from the War Of The Realms. American Eagle is investigating Cyttora spotted in Battery Park in Manhattan. Gorilla-Man and Broo are improving the extradimensional scanning capabilities of the Wakandan Satellite Array. This is the function of the Agents Of Wakanda, intelligence gathering for the Avengers and dealing with threats beneath their notice.Before Broo and GM took the satellites offline for the upgrade they spotted an energy spike in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. The helicarrier gets there 20 minutes later and they go down in a smaller craft. The town is eerily empty and silent. Cobra senses something wrong. Panther disrupts a cloaking shield and they find the populace inside menaced by demonic creatures. The 4 leap to the attack and BP sends Wasp to scout for the centre of the problem. She reports back that the beasts are everywhere and seem to be moving purposefully. Then 1 of them bats her unconscious.T'Challa tells Okoye he's called for backup but comms are erratic (as they fail to hear the end of Wasp's message). Okoye gets surrounded and dragged down, but she triggers a blast from her Kimoyo Beads which rips many creatures apart. Fat Cobra saves 2 children from danger, but they turn out to be demons in disguise. The warriors keep hearing a voice in their heads playing on each 1's fears.The children-trick fuels Cobra's anger and he forces himself through a whirling storm to its heart. Where he finds the Sentry (floating in a lotus pose).

Egregious autonomous: part 1 of 2
Black Panther is contemplating his many competing roles when Okoye comes to ask him why his Agents Of Wakanda that she leads are a very mixed bunch of outsiders rather than her Dora Milaje troops other other Wakandans. And why he always goes on the missions (at least the ones we've seen in this series) when he's got so much else better to do. T'Challa replies that the Agents bring a  variety of skills to the table ... and also that they are expendable, ie without costing Wakandan lives. (I'm sure Wasp and the others would be overjoyed to know that!) She still asks him to trust the team to her more and save himself for being King of Wakanda and leader of the Avengers.Dr Nemesis contacts them to say that they've detected a signal from an old underground SHIELD base in Death Valley. He and Broo have decoded it and it's from something called Project Livewire. But they've also been notified of an Instagram video from Deadpool at the same place. Panther remembers how (in the fairly recent BP vs DP mini-series by the same editorial team as this) Deadpool stole an experimental Panther suit from him and teleported the vibranium mound to New Jersey. He orders up a team of Okoye and Nemesis plus Wasp and Roz Solomon, and despite Okoye's protests says he's coming with them.35 minutes ago as 'Pool finishes his video his motorbike is hit by a truck and he lands in a cactus. Wade Wilson stops the driver reporting the accident because he says he's fine. And the guy can get his dents repaired by claiming from Stark Unlimited as 'Hulk damage'.Now DP has reached his destination on foot and he spots a 'rock' containing controls for the entrance to the underground site because its camouflage paint has faded. Overriding the security he gets it to open up a large hole in the ground. And he falls in when he's hit by a tranquiliser dart fired by Dr Nemesis.Wasp flies down the 136 ft shaft after him and finds Deadpool with shattered limbs at the bottom. Wade asks Janet to pull the dart out then he can heal faster. But a computer voice initiates a security response and she's attacked by somebody invisible with a sword (also invisible) that clangs against her armoured wrist. Roz joins her utilising the glider wings built into her Wakandan jumpsuit. And special goggles enable her to see the cloaked figure and shoot at him. A lucky laser beam(?) shot breaks *his* dark glasses and coincidentally(?) he becomes visible. Deadpool has recovered enough to shoot at the foe too, and Wasp shrinks to attack but is stunned by a fist.DP figures the guy is a robot but a new enemy makes an appearance and she says they prefer the term semi-autonomous, artificially intelligent, limited-nanofunction, humanform mecha constructs or mechs. She refers to the 1st foe as Hollowpoint Ninja as she uses pheromones to control Roz Solomon. HP reminds Social Butterfly that 'Eyepatch' wants them killed as he stabs 'Pool with his sword. SB tries to shoot RS with her own gun but it refuses to fire for an unidentified user. And Roz's uniform purges the pheromones so she punches Butterfly out and calls for backup ...... which arrives in the form of the Panther landing on Ninja's back. They fight as DP gets rid of the dart in his head and the sword in his back. But Wade also finds time to ask T'Challa if he could join the Avengers. He vaguely remembers being 1 before, but that doesn't make sense. (He's referring to the 2015-2018 Uncanny Avengers series.) But just as he's on his feet Nemesis hits him with more darts.DrN and Okoye and recovered Wasp join the fight. Butterfly mainly acrobatically avoids getting hit. Panther slashes Ninja's face exposing metallic innards. Wasp shrinks inside his works and there her bio-stings bring him down. Okoye pins the Butterfly to a wall with her spear through a shoulder. But the computer voice announces that it's scanned all the Agents and initiated appropriate countermeasures. Even Black Panther falls.He awakes before the others and is confronted by 2 more mechs (and a 3rd hooked up to some holding tanks below). And their boss who claims to be (the original) Nick Fury head of SHIELD.

Eye of the storm: part 2 of 2
Black Panther has led a team of his Agents Of Wakanda (Fat Cobra, Okoye and Wasp) to Pawhuska, Oklahoma where they found the town surrounded by a cloaking shield and inside 'demons' menacing the populace. Cobra fought his way through to the centre of town where he found Sentry.Meanwhile the others have been separated with their comms down and are falling prey to hallucinations. Okoye is walking through a deserted part of town when Panther seemingly stabs her in the back with a spear.Wasp thinks she's sunbathing and goes indoors to call her boyfriend Tony Stark away from his work in his basement lab. But 'Tony' turns out to be her ex-husband Henry Pym only slightly merged with Ultron (rather than half and half as he is these days). And the robot he was working on turns out to be Tony merged with his Iron Man armour (as he is in the current IM storyline).A voice in Okoye's head says her liege has attacked her because she's not worthy to be a Dora Milaje or the head of the Agents. And 'Panther' agrees, bringing up her previous 'failures'. Then 'T'Challa' is exposed as herself in the Panther costume. Okoye admits her doubts and fears but overcomes them to pull the spear out of her body and kill the false Panther. The body dissolves to dust as the real T'Challa approaches to tell her that *his* Panther uniform is protecting him from the hallucinations. He's sent out a call for backup but doesn't know if it got through.Both cyborgs are now menacing Janet Van Dyne. But she shrinks to Wasp and flies into Ultron's mouth to blast him apart from inside. And she does something similar to Iron Tony. Those bodies dissolve too as BP and Okoye join her.Fat Cobra confronts the meditating Sentry who is currently merged with his evil half the Void. He introduces himself as 1 of the Immortal Weapons and tells Sentry that he's disrupting reality in the town and causing suffering. Sentry doesn't believe him because he's 'better' now that he's absorbed the Void. But demons drag Cobra into an hallucination where the *Immortal* Weapon sees all the lovers and children he's outlived. But he has long come to terms with that and uses his chi powers to dispel them into dust.The other 3 hero(in)es arrive. Sentry tells T'Challa that he is keeping the Void at peace. But Cobra tells BP that Sentry's madness won't let him see what's happening in the world around him. Panther gets a garbled message from the helicarrier that someone is in position overhead. BP tells them to 'drop the hammer' ...... and Thor lands with a Mjolnir-blow to Sentry's head. But Sentry fights back and everyone bar Fat Cobra piles in. He tells them to weaken the foe until the time is right. Then when the 'fates are aligned' he strikes and Void is forced out of Sentry's body. In its small weakened state Cobra is able to swallow it.Now Void-less Sentry apologises for what's happened and zooms off to think on it. T'Challa contacts the Alpha Flight space station where Commander Abigail Brand confirms that he's headed off into deep space. The people of Pawhuska recover and the heroes return to the Wakandan helicarrier. Dr Strange is called in to check Fat Cobra for ill effects. Stephen Strange can't find any trace of Void within him, and Cobra says it's not the 1st 'dark idol' he's eaten.Then Panther gets a call from Broo who is upgrading a satellite with Gorilla-Man (as we saw last issue). They've noticed something they think he should come deal with - "the Moon is hungry".
