“The Breaking Strain”

In "The Breaking Strain," Magneto takes a desperate gamble, dragging the Avengers West Coast base into space in a bid to reach his comatose daughter, testing the limits of the team’s resolve. Written by John Byrne and illustrated by Byrne with inks by Paul Ryan, this pivotal issue sees the aftermath of the Acts of Vengeance unfold as the Avengers confront Loki’s deception, track down the fleeing Wizard, and face the shocking unraveling of Wanda — the first to return home, only to find her mind fractured and her allies fallen. The cover by John Byrne captures the gravity of the moment with striking, dramatic precision.
