"Blood Brothers!" Guest-starring Wonder Man. Script by Bill Mantlo. Pencils by Rick Leonardi. Inks by Ian Akin and Brian Garvey. Cover by Rick Leonardi and Joe Rubinstein. The Vision has collapsed after losing his left arm in the battle against Isbisa last issue! Wanda rushes her husband to the emergency room and alerts the Avengers! The chief doctor determines that the synthezoid avenger needs an energy transfer to live! And Wonder Man's ionic energy would fit the bill! Once Simon arrives, the transfusion begins; and the Avengers leave the hospital. But as shown on the terrifying cover, that was a big mistake! Because a certain scythe-wielding super-villain has learned about the procedure... and come to make sure it fails spectacularly! After the reaper subdues the Scarlet Witch, his twisted goal is within reach! Can the Grim Reaper kill two brothers with one swing (of his scythe)? Avengers Lineup: Captain America, Hawkeye, Iron Man, She-Hulk, Thor, and the Wasp. (Notes: The Grim Reaper previously appeared in the classic Avengers 160. He continues his quest for revenge in the first issue of the second Vision and Scarlet Witch (1985) limited series.) 32 pages. Cover price $0.60.

Pocket Books Edition 1st printing.

By Diane Duane.

The Enterprise has been chosen to test a new engine drive - the Elective Mass Inversion Apparatus - designed to propel the ship instantly across huge distances. It works, but the crew finds each jump more psychically disturbing - and spiritually profound - than the last. More dangerously, the process seems to have unraveled the laws of physics, causing a rip in space through which another universe - a universe without time - is seeping. And unless they can close it quickly, time may disappear...forever.

Hardcover, 5-in. x 8-in., 180 pages, Text Only.
