“Pressure”

In "Pressure," the Avengers regroup after the destruction of their mansion, leasing space in 4 Freedoms Plaza while repairs are made. She-Hulk’s return to Hydrobase sparks a sudden attack by Tyrak, forcing the team into action—just as Doctor Druid is nominated for membership and the Wasp steps down as chairwoman, naming Captain America as acting chairman. Written by Roger Stern and illustrated by John Buscema, with inks by Tom Palmer and colors by Christie Scheele, the cover by Buscema and Palmer captures the tension of a team rebuilding under pressure.
