Chapter 1: More Than Inhuman!
Art by Neal Adams and Tom Palmer
- Vision follows the Super Skrull (who had captured Mar-Vell, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver) to the Inhumans home the Great Refuge
- SS attempts to destroy the Inhumans home, unsuccessfully; no Inhuman sightings
- the Inhumans are Kree Spawn? Since when?
- Vision confronts SS but leaves his spaceship when he realizes he can't defeat him
Chapter 2: 1971 Aaaaaaaa Space Odyssey
Art by John Buscema
- SS arrives on the Skrull Homeworld with his prisoners; he was exiled and hopes that the prisoners he brings will help to make up for his transgressions but the Skrull emperor isn't forgiving
- when CM refuses to reveal the secrets of the Omni-Wave generator which allows instantaneous transmissions across the galaxy the Skrull emperor throws SW and QS into a prison with a number of monsters including a giant lizard like critter and some little furry ones that multiply like tribbles
- eventually CM agrees to reveal the secrets and the Skrull emperor releases them
- tribbles?
-
Chapter 3: Behold the Mandroids!
Art by Neal Adams
- Vision returns to avengers mansion to tell the others (Cap, IM, Thor, Goliath) about SW and QS
- Nick Fury calls the Avengers to warn them in a cryptic sort of way
- Craddock is back in the picture with enforcers to take the Avengers into custody
- Craddock's muscle is the Mandroids, which were created by Stark Industries, although Iron Man doesn't share that information with his teammates just yet
- as the battle begins between the 5 Avengers and the Mandroids, Triton (Inhuman) emerges from a manhole
- the word balloon placement throughout the issue is confusing
- how much of Neal Adams art work was redrawn in the version I am reading?
- definite lack of consistency in the way some things are portrayed from Ch 1 (Adams) to Ch 2 (Buscema)
6/30
