Rating:
This issue starts with Star Wars chase on jet-bikes. A female is on the run, her face and hair hidden by rags. She takes out the pursuing craft, then has to defeat one of the aliens in hand-to-hand combat, finally killing him with his own energy spear.
The Avengers (Captain America, Hawkeye and Spider-Woman, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Wolverine) are all relaxing in their own ways in Avengers Tower. Cap is scanning media comments on the recently-concluded Avengers vs X-Men event. People are demanding answers, especially from the Avengers, and in particular from him.
Wonder Man pops up, in his ionic way. He seems conflicted. Part of him wants to apologise to Steve for leading the Revengers against the Avengers teams back before Fear Itself in the Avengers and New Avengers Annuals. But another part is still angry about the Avengers who have died. He thinks maybe being an ionic being has given him a nervous breakdown.
Cap offers help on behalf of the Avengers. But Red Hulk interrupts their tete-a-tete, leading to a 2-page fight. Wonder Man wins, but then leaves, saying he's going to earn his way back into the Avengers.
The female from the opening scene is now in a town full of diverse aliens. (Star Wars cantina scene, anyone?) She persuades one of them to transmit a signal for her, using an Avengers Priority Card. Tony Stark gets the signal in the Tower.
The other Avengers, including Vision, are discussing Wonder Man, when Stark tells them of the Avengers distress call he's just picked up from inner space.
