- Decisions in a Vacuum · 22 pages
A designated group of Avengers (including Iron Man in his space armor) enter a Kree space station in an attempt to negotiate a peace between the Kree and the Shi'ar. The Avengers run into some Shi'ar commandos with whom they battle, and Iron Man ends up battling a Kree soldier named Shatterax (who was sent by the Supreme Intelligence) outside the station. Iron Man decides to surrender the Avenger team to the Kree in hopes of survival.
Publisher’s description
