  • As the Avengers pursue Ultron’s newly reactivated robotic bride Jocasta through Manhattan, Ms. Marvel offers the team her assistance after experiencing a prophetic vision of the danger facing them. Iron Man’s sensor readings lead the group to a convent, where Scarlet Witch disappears shortly after they arrive. Sensing Wanda is the key to victory, Ms. Marvel searches for the missing Witch while the others battle Ultron, notably Wonder Man, who plays a key role in the fight despite being terrified of the robot. Meanwhile, the Scarlet Witch finds herself in a bewildering prison full of illusions, mirrored surfaces and traps designed to disorient her and drive her mad. Her prison is guarded by Ultron’s robotic servant, the supposed nun Sister Eucalypta, whom Ms. Marvel wrecks. Back at the battle, Ultron seals the heroes in a force shield while he awakens his slumbering bride Jocasta, but to his furious surprise she immediately turns against him. Though she loves Ultron in accordance with her programming, she inherited a sense of morality from her human template Wasp that recognizes Ultron as evil, so she feels she must destroy him. An angry Scarlet Witch, freed by Ms. Marvel, disrupts Ultron’s molecular rearrange to tear a rift in his body, an opening Thor uses to drain the robot’s energy into his hammer and then fire it into space, deactivating Ultron. Moments after this victory, however, Captain America and Jocasta mysteriously vanish.

    This issue contains a LoC from future comics writer/editor Kevin Dooley.
