The battle between Iron Man and Hulk at the munitions plant
continues as Wasp and Ant-Man plan how to trap Hulk in the containment chamber
in the basement….
On the Isle of Silence, Thor fights his way through an army
of Loki clones. Spinning Mjolnir causes all of the copies to shatter, leaving
only the genuine God of Evil standing. Thor then seizes his wayward brother and
flies off with him….
As Ant-Man and Wasp are about to spring their trap for the
Hulk, Thor arrives with his prisoner. Hulk recognizes Loki as the sinister
image in his head earlier. Loki draws upon his divine power to increase his
menacing aspect, growing in size, he vows to destroy Thor and his allies—but
then the floor, undermined by ants, gives way, dropping the villain into the
containment chamber (to Hank and Janet’s surprise). The heroes quickly open the
chamber—but Loki is gone. With the dust clearing, the good guys plan to leave,
but Wasp has an idea….
Three days later at Tony Stark’s factory, Iron Man, Thor,
Wasp, and Ant-Man assemble to work out plans to form a team, protecting Earth
from powerful threats. They have quick glimpses of a bright and amazing future
(courtesy of an artist working after the fact). The Hulk suddenly crashes
through the ceiling and asks to join, figuring they owe him. And so are
born…the Avengers!
