The Avengers #251

In "Deceptions!", the Avengers face a chilling mystery as the Vision, their trusted teammate, begins moving with unsettling precision toward a hidden agenda. Written by Roger Stern and illustrated by Bob Hall, with inks by Joe Sinnott and colors by Christie Scheele, this 1985 issue unfolds with quiet menace as the team grapples with the unsettling possibility that one of their own is orchestrating a silent takeover—using Isaac to reshape the world from behind the scenes. The cover by Bob Hall and Joe Sinnott captures the tension with a stark, watchful image of the Vision, eyes alight with purpose.
