Avengers West Coast #72

In "The Pacific Overlords — Part III: Chaos and Chrysanthemums," Iron Man, Wasp, and Tigra land in Japan on a mission to stop Dr. Demonicus and the Pacific Overlords—only to face a deadly Yakuza gang led by Irezumi, whose tattoos grant him terrifying powers. As Tigra flees to warn her allies, Dr. Demonicus transforms Living Lightning into pure electricity, and back at the AWC base, Hawkeye and Spider-Woman are ambushed by USAgent, sent by the government to eliminate Spider-Woman—though he struggles to follow through. Written by Roy Thomas and Dann Thomas, with art by David Ross and inks by Danny Bulanadi and Tim Dzon, this 1991 issue delivers high-stakes action and moral tension, all framed by Tom Morgan’s striking cover.
