Baron Zemo assembles a formidable roster of villains—including the Wrecker, Titania, and the Absorbing Man—to attack Avengers Mansion and personally torment the Wasp and Hercules. The volume also features earlier tales introducing characters like Doctor Druid and the second Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau, making it a key entry in the team's Bronze Age history.
"Wild in the Streets!" delivers a pulse-pounding chapter in the Avengers' ongoing saga, spotlighting the escalating tensions surrounding Namor’s controversial induction. With public unrest boiling over, Moonstone manipulates protesters into chaos while Captain Marvel races to save an agent from a crashing helicopter—only for the Avengers to unknowingly hand Moonstone over to the Absorbing Man and Titania in disguise. As Namor faces a staggering $2 billion lawsuit and departs for Atlantis, the fate of Marrina hangs in the balance as Attuma rises to power. Written by Roger Stern and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema and Tom Palmer, the cover by Buscema and Palmer captures the storm of conflict in bold, classic style.
In "Wild in the Streets!", the Avengers grapple with rising tensions as public debate swirls over Namor’s place in their ranks. When Moonstone manipulates protesters into chaos, Captain Marvel rushes to save FBI agent Derek Freeman from a crashing helicopter—only to find herself caught in a web of deception as the team unknowingly hands Moonstone over to the Absorbing Man and Titania in disguise. With Namor facing a $2 billion lawsuit and Atlantis in turmoil, he departs to confront Attuma’s rise as ruler, leaving the team to navigate the storm.
In "Breakaway!", Captain Marvel teams up with FBI agent Derek Freeman as a wave of high-profile escapes rocks the prison system—Grey Gargoyle, Mister Hyde, and Whirlwind are all gone. With the Wasp and the Paladin on the case, tensions rise when the Grey Gargoyle and Screaming Mimi make a bold move to free the new Yellowjacket. Meanwhile, Namor reaches out to the Avengers, pleading for help to save Marrina.
In "Assault on Atlantis," the Avengers and Alpha Flight launch a daring raid on the underwater city to rescue Marrina from Attuma’s grasp. Though Marrina is freed, her altered appearance drives her to flee, leaving Namor to step away from the Avengers and quietly support her in the shadows.
In "Divided... We Fall!", the Avengers face a devastating assault as the Masters of Evil strike with brutal precision—capturing Captain America and the Black Knight, seemingly killing Hercules, and trapping Captain Marvel in Blackout's abyss. With the team shattered and the battlefield in ruins, the Wasp stands alone, forced to confront the chaos one Avenger at a time.
In "Even a God Can Die!", Ant-Man and the Wasp race to protect the comatose Hercules from Titania and the Absorbing Man, while Captain Marvel fights to escape Blackout’s suffocating darkforce dimension. Meanwhile, Mister Hyde turns his cruelty on Jarvis, testing the limits of endurance in a moment of brutal isolation.
In "Revenge," Captain Marvel fights to escape Blackout’s darkforce dimension, using the Shroud’s form as her key to freedom. With Thor, Ant-Man, and the Wasp, she joins forces to assault the Masters of Evil, while the Black Knight and Captain America prevent Mister Hyde from killing Jarvis—each hero pushing forward in a battle where every move counts.
In "The Price of Victory," the Avengers face a brutal showdown against the Masters of Evil, rallying with unexpected allies like Thor, Doctor Druid, and Ant-Man. As the battle reaches its peak, Blackout succumbs to a fatal cerebral hemorrhage while fighting Baron Zemo’s mind control, leaving the cost of victory painfully clear.
