A mysterious flying craft descends on Avengers Mansion, unleashing an android assault that tests the hero’s limits. As Captain America fights back, a hidden lab reveals a chilling sight: a hydroponic garden of androids under remote surveillance. With Fury insisting this is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s domain, the two barely hold the line—only for Fury to hand Captain America a Priority A-1 badge, hinting at future collaboration. Written by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, with art by Kirby and inks by Frank Giacoia, the cover by Kirby and Giacoia captures the tension of the moment in bold, dynamic lines.
In "Crescendo!", Iron Man races to clear his name after being framed for a sabotage he didn’t commit, evading both enemy forces and his own government. With the People’s Liberation Army and the United States Air Force closing in, and the Mandarin’s Guards watching from the shadows, Tony Stark must outwit a web of conspiracy—before the man who saved the world is sentenced for crimes he didn’t commit.
In "Them!", Captain America is training when Nick Fury arrives with urgent intel on the mysterious organization THEM. A sudden attack by a flying android forces the two to defend Avengers Mansion, leading them to a hidden lab where a fleet of androids grows in a hydroponic garden—observed remotely by the shadowy members of THEM. With Fury urging Captain America to stay out of the matter, the hero is left with a S.H.I.E.L.D. Priority A-1 badge and a growing sense that this threat is just the beginning.
