  • Justice for All! · 24 pages

    The Avengers try and avert disaster as a giant meteor crashes to Earth. Another meteor falls and Magneto realizes it is a remnant of Asteroid M so he leaves the X-Men behind to see if he can salvage any of his old stuff. The Avengers and Soviet Super-Soldiers figure it out as well and move to intercept him.

Publisher’s description

When the Avengers attempt to arrest Magneto so that he may be tried in the World Court for crimes against humanity, the X-Men side with their mutant brother. Can the situation be diffused before the teams come to blows?
