Written by FRED VAN LENTE Penciled by FRANCIS PORTELA Cover by MARKO DJURDJEVIC After barely making it out of the Infinicide's fortress alive, the surviving members of M.O.D.O.K.'s team discover their score has been stolen from them - by the son of the MANDARIN! To make matters worse, Puma has lost his powers, the Living Laser is about to merge with the universe, Rocket Racer can't work up the nerve to ask Nightshade out on a date, and A.I.M. is poised to make its move against them.
