Avengers West Coast (1985) 45 VF+ 8.5

Vision Quest Part 4 of 4. "New Faces" Script by John Byrne. Pencils by John Byrne. Inks by Mike Machlan. Cover by John Byrne. The Vision has been reassembled thanks to the brilliance and hard work of Hank Pym. But complications remain. First, the Vision's appearance has changed due to the trauma his bio-synthetic skin suffered during his disassembly. And second, while Hank has restored the Vision's memories, he can't recreate the emotional attachment to them. For that the brain patterns of Simon Williams are needed. But when Wanda finds Simon and asks him to cooperate, he refuses. Then Wonder Man faces the wrath of the Scarlet Witch! Wow, the West Coast Avengers are approaching rock bottom. And the recent addition of the U.S. Agent is not helping. (Notes: The cover to this issue is an homage to John Buscema and George Klein's classic cover to Avengers (1st series) #57 -- the first appearance of the silver age Vision. The white Vision debuted in the MCU in the final episode of the WandaVision Disney+ series. The Vision Quest storyline was a distressing read for long-time fans of the Avengers. Several years later during the Gatherers saga, the Vision regains his red-hued body.

Written by ROY THOMAS. Art by JOHN BUSCEMA, DON HECK and GEORGE TUSKA. Cover by DON HECK.

The year was 1967, and what a year it was to be an Avengers fan. Why? Because Earth's Mightiest Heroes gained one of Earth's Mightiest artists-the one and only John Buscema!

If an artist like Big John teaming up to create the titanic Thomas/Heck/Buscema triumvirate isn't enough to wet your whistle for amazing tales of the adventurous Avengers, then get a load of the manic Marvel Masterworks they have in store for you: Prince of Power, Hercules goes mano-a-mano with the Dragon Man; Captain America mixes it up with the Russian Red Guardian for the Red, White and Blue; the entire dag-blamed Avengers battle the Super-Adaptoid; Goliath and the Wasp face a blast from their shrinking past as they fight the Whirlwind. And a hero redeems the role of the Black Knight only to have the Avengers lose their teammates, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, to Magneto and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants-it's a cosmic balance, bub! And let us not forget, Avengers past and present joining together in combat against a sextet of baddies built up by the Mandarin. It's a story so huge it could only be contained in the first-ever Avengers Annual!

Remember, True Believer, there's no guarantee that a yuletide gift this hot won't ignite, so don't forget to fireproof the ol' fir tree.
