Stories

  • Otherwhere! · 22 pages

    Iron Man's power cuts out forcing him to drop the huge dinosaur (and himself) into the ocean. Tony has to dump his armor in order to not drown and swims for a damaged Quinjet that was left at sea. Hawkeye and Mockingbird (who were out searching for him) rendezvous with him in their Quinjet. Meanwhile Jim Rhodes meets with Hank Pym at his lab to discuss his headaches when they are attacked by a criminal and all three fall into a dimensional portal. They eventually escape but the criminal jumps back in to avoid being arrested. Meanwhile the Scourge kills the Enforcer.

Publisher’s description

It starts as a simple headache. But it's one that just won't stop! Rhodey realizes he must get help for his mysterious malady from disgraced Avenger Henry Pym. Meanwhile, the West Coast Avengers are desperately trying to find the original Iron Man who is lost at sea!
