"If Wishes Were Horses" Part 1 of 4. Script by Walt Simonson. Art by John Buscema (layouts) and Tom Palmer (finishes). Cover by John Buscema and Tom Palmer. The cataclysmic clash with the Leviathan is over! But Earth's Mightiest Heroes have suffered staggering losses. Marrina has tragically perished. Prince Namor has left the team in anguish. Captain Marvel is badly emaciated. And the Black Knight begins suffering from the curse of the ebony blade. Needless to say morale is near an all-time low as only Doctor Druid, She-Hulk, and Thor can answer the call to duty. Right now the Avengers would be extremely vulnerable to an attack from one of their long-time foes! And inauspiciously Ravonna and about a half dozen Kangs have something in the works! The beautiful time traveler's instrument of deception is none other than…the Avengers' new chairman, Doctor Druid! Cameo appearances by Frank Rambeau and Maria Rambeau. (Notes: Captain Marvel's serious medical condition ends her long service on the Avengers' active roster dating back to Avengers 227. Her recovery takes place in Captain Marvel (2nd series) 1.) 32 pages Cover price $1.00.
