“Breakaway!”

In "Breakaway!", the Avengers face a wave of chaos as three imprisoned villains—Grey Gargoyle, Mister Hyde, and Whirlwind—are each freed under mysterious circumstances. With Captain Marvel tracking the FBI's leads and the Wasp teaming up with the Paladin to secure the new Yellowjacket, tensions rise as the Grey Gargoyle and Screaming Mimi make a bold move to free their fellow inmate. Meanwhile, Namor turns to the team for help in rescuing Marrina, setting the stage for a high-stakes crisis. Written by Roger Stern and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema, inks by Tom Palmer, and vibrant colors by Christie Scheele, this 1986 issue delivers a pulse-pounding blend of action and intrigue. The cover, also by Buscema and Palmer, captures the intensity of the moment.
