Synopsis
  • Answering the summons of an anonymous letter, the Vision travels to a frozen food locker in a warehouse on the lower east side of Manhattan, there he is met by the Grim Reaper who offers him a proposition. If the Vision aids the Grim Reaper in getting revenge on the Avengers, he would transfer the Vision's mind into the body of Wonder Man which he has been preserving since his death some time before Not giving into the Reaper's offer, the Vision refuses, however the Reaper gives him a medallion that would put them into direct contact should the Vision change his mind. The Vision then leaves to return to his comrades the Avengers. At Avengers Mansion, the Scarlet Witch prepares for monitor duty where she is once more confronted by Hawkeye who professes his love for her again and makes and advance that the Vision walks in on and walks away from before he can hear the Scarlet Witch rebuff Hawkeye's advances. Meanwhile in space, the Sentinels return from an attempt to destroy the sun to prevent further mutations, their return is reported on the news, which causes Quicksilver to think back to his last encounter with the mutant hunting robots. The Scarlet Witch appears and tells the Avengers that she is going for an evening stroll in Central Park. While the other Avengers attend to personal matters, the Vision watches Wanda's stroll from a window, when he spots an approaching Sentinel. Vision engages the Sentinel alone while Jarvis informs the other Avengers of the trouble. As he Avengers attack they find their powers are of little effect against the robot, which escapes with Wanda via "ultra-linear leap." As the Avengers begin to plan how to rescue Wanda, Quicksilver angrily pushes them away because they were unable to prevent the Sentinel from taking Wanda in the first place.
Notes
  • * Plot suggestion by Claremont. * The Sentinels story continues from X-Men #58 - X-Men #60. * This issue contains a letters page, Avengers Assemble. Letters are published from Beto!, Iran Drucker, and Lawrence Schick. * The Sentinels note upon examination of the Vision that he is an android of "three decades vintage". This is the first hint that the Vision actually is, or is based upon, technology of the [[W:C:marvel:Human Torch
