But hold on...Triton of the Inhumans suddenly appears and begs Earth's Mightiest Heroes for help! The Kree have installed Maximus as the new ruler of the Great Refuge! And exiled Black Bolt to San Francisco of all places! Once Cap and Goliath recover Black Bolt from the Bay Area, the Mighty Avengers assemble in the Hidden Land to overthrow Maximus the Mad!

"Trapped in Outer Space!" Part 3 of 3. Script by Steve Englehart. Pencils by Bob Brown. Inks by Mike Esposito. Cover by Gil Kane and John Romita. Mere seconds ago Earth's Mightiest Heroes invaded Cornelius Van Lunt's New Jersey warehouse! But little did they realize the warehouse was actually a spaceship! And now five avengers and seven renegade zodiac are rocketing into outer space! Will the Avengers find their destiny written in the stars? Hopefully not like this! Fortunately though, another rebellious zodiac member, Libra, steals Taurus' star-cruiser and rescues both the heroes and the villains! And that sets the stage for one last free-for-all between the Avengers and the Zodiac! Can Thor, Shell-Head, T'Challa, Mantis, Wanda, and the Vision finally knock down the twelve houses of the Zodiac? Last 20¢ issue. (Notes: The cover to Avengers 122 is widely considered one of Gil Kane's best for Marvel. The Avengers on the cover are busting through pages from issue 120. The letters page contains a letter from comics artist Rick Hoberg. The letters page also contains Marvel Value Stamp series A #81 The Vision by John Buscema.) 32 pages Cover price $0.20.

"Vengeance in Vietnam!" Part 1 of 2. Script by Steve Englehart. Pencils by Bob Brown. Inks by Don Heck. Cover by Ron Wilson and John Romita. At the conclusion of last issue's blockbuster battle vs. the Zodiac, Libra made a surprise announcement: "I am the father of Mantis!" Wow, what a shock to the Avengers and Mantis too! Libra says he met Mantis' mother during the First Indochina War. And after a local crime lord, Monsieur Khruul, attacked his home, he gave his daughter to the Priests of Pama to be reared. Is this fact of fiction? Either way the Swordsman isn't waiting for answers! He jumps in a quinjet and makes a beeline for Saigon to confront his former boss! But that turns out to be a disastrous idea. By the time Earth's Mightiest Heroes arrive in Vietnam, the Swordsman has been defeated and forced to talk about Mantis' upbringing! The vindictive monsieur and his minions go to the Priests of Pama's' temple and the killing begins. The frustrated Avengers once again arrive too late, but as shown on the chilling two-page final panel, battle is coming to Earth's Mightiest Heroes next issue…and coming in spades! Origin of Libra. Partial origin of Mantis. Cameo appearances by the Zodiac and the Star-Stalker. First 25¢ issue. Avengers Lineup: Black Panther, Iron Man, Mantis, Scarlet Witch, Swordsman, Thor, and the Vision.
