On the top half of the image, Domino, War Machine, and Shatterstar are on a video conference call. On the bottom half, the title of the comic strip, “All-New, Rebranded Avengers Presents… ‘Break Away Tonight’,” is visible.

2. Shatterstar promises the U.S. military the fight of its life, if it comes to forcibly remand him into their custody. War Machine admits that he’s been threatened with the reactivation of his military duties, if he doesn’t find a way to make the Avengers comply.

When pressed by Domino, War Machine promises that he wouldn’t obey that order, even if it was given.

Rage wonders if it might not be worth it, to fight the authorities openly. Domino worries that the battle against HYDRA might need as many people on the side of the Avengers as possible.

As the discussion gets more heated, Spider-Woman announces that she has something to say.

Spider-Woman declares her intention to retire from the Avengers, and from public super-heroics generally.

Rage and Shatterstar praise Spider-Woman, and thank her for her service.

As Spider-Woman signs off the call, Domino and War Machine sound defeated.

Rage and Shatterstar encourage them not to give up hope. Rage, even, takes the opportunity to cheer the iconic catchphrase, “Avengers assemble!”

It’s not an Avengers story if the tension of an in-group argument isn’t cut by some somber news, right?
