All-New, All-Astounding Avengers #155 – ‘Old and Decided’

Posted on by phil.wrede
Spider-Man swings over to Dr. Octopus above the dark NYC nighttime streets. The title of this comic, “All-New, All-Astounding Avengers Presents, ‘Old and Decided’,” is visible at the top of the image.
Dr. Octopus continues to climb up the side of a building with his cybernetic arms while in the Baxter Building, headquarters of the Fantastic Four, Johnny Storm generates a flame wall to protect his family from their attackers.
Kl’rt, the Super-Skrull and ruler of the Negative Zone, and his servant Nihilus, scheme about how to attack the FF after the flames recede. The FF tries to formulate their own plan.
On the White House lawn, the X-Cutioner calls the President out. In the Negative Zone, Kate Neville escapes from an Annihilation Reaver by using a great flash of her power.
S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Wurmser (“played” here by an action figure of Arnold Schwarzenegger from Terminator: Dark Fate) pulls a knife on Jay Hansen in the street, and threatens him with it.
Wurmser attacks; Hansen dodges.
As the billionaire and the furious S.H.I.E.L.D. agent fight, the Starjammers Mantis and Captain America (a mysterious second man calling himself by that name) try to bring their ally Drax under control, whose mind is being manipulated remotely by Jean Grey.
Jean comes face to face with Emma Frost and Dr. Clark Connors (“played” here by an action figure of Sean Connery from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade), who are allies of Hansen’s, and therefore dislike Jean’s activities.
Wurmser hits Hansen square in the chest with his knife, and Hansen staggers away.
The Black Knight and Nebula rush in to fight Wurmser, and as Yondu helps Hansen stagger away, the billionaire reveals that he has adamantium fibers woven into his clothes!
Justin Hammer (“played” by an action figure of Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic Park) suddenly reappears, and is wielding a proton cannon that he stole from Stark Industries!
