Story continues from Avengers 153. It's an action-packed annual as Earth's Mightiest Heroes face one crisis after another! First, a wounded Scarlet Witch returns to Avengers Mansion following her battle against the Living Laser. Then while Jarvis and the Vision summon a doctor for Wanda, the Whizzer regains consciousness and explains his bizarre behavior to the Wasp and Yellowjacket. Meanwhile, a confused Wonder Man wanders the streets of Manhattan. And furthermore the sinister Serpent Crown remains unaccounted for somewhere in the United States! Wow, where do the Avengers begin? Fortunately, Iron Man is able to track the radio-active aura of the crown to Southern California. And inside a west coast army outpost, six avengers plus Wonder Man and the Whizzer fight to the finish against the Living Laser, a renegade army general, and Nuklo! Back up story: "Night Vision!" Script by Scott Edelman. Art by Herb Trimpe. The Vision battles the Whirlwind one-on-one. (Note: Nuklo previously appeared in Giant-Size Avengers 1.)
