Fantastic! #52

In "With My Hammer In Hand! [Part 1]," Thor returns to Earth after repairing his hammer in a Pittsburgh furnace and restoring the Norn Stones to Odin, only to find Jane Foster gone and Blake’s surgery closed. With his old allies scattered and Hawkeye’s attitude alienating him, Thor seeks help from the Avengers—only to be rebuffed. Meanwhile, Loki, bound to the warlock Ularic, has imprisoned his master and unleashed a long-forgotten enemy from beyond the stars: the Absorbing Man, who has no patience for gods or mortals alike.

In "The Voice of the Wasp! [Part 1]," the Wasp races to warn New York of an imminent threat, only to be captured by Attuma, the Sub-Mariner’s relentless enemy, who has his own deadly plans for the surface world. With the Avengers summoned—Captain America, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and Hank Pym—facing overwhelming odds, the battle for the city’s survival begins before Hawkeye’s return.
