But before they can reach the safe house, the Fantastic Four (or some alien race mimicking their powers) attacks! In the chaotic battle that follows, Wanda and Pietro are captured and the Vision is badly injured! With his synthetic body failing, the Vision limps back to the mansion! And once inside (and as famously illustrated), the astonishing Ant-Man takes a perilous journey to the center of the android! Can Hank Pym revive the synthezoid avenger? And get Earth's Mightiest Heroes back into the intergalactic free-for-all? Appearances by Rick Jones and the Super-Skrull.
