"Earth and Beyond!" Secret Wars II crossover. Script by Roger Stern. Art by John Buscema (breakdowns) and Tom Palmer (finishes). Cover by John Buscema and Tom Palmer. Story continues from Avengers Annual 14. After their epic adventure in the Andromeda Galaxy, the Avengers finally return to their Fifth Avenue Mansion. However, according to Jarvis the mansion had a visitor while they were gone...the Beyonder! One thing leads to another…and the shield-slinger and the Wasp confront the Beyonder in the nation's capital; and the next day Hercules and the Black Knight battle him at Project Pegasus! The Avengers can't beat the Beyonder, so they're going to ask him to join them. Really? A very interesting approach! Meanwhile after destroying Sanctuary II, Starfox announces his departure from the Avengers in order to pursue Nebula across the universe. Cameo appearance by Firelord. Cover price $0.65.
