Throughout his Avengers' run, Steve Englehart slowly built the mysterious Mantis into one of '70s Marvel's most intriguing characters. Here, her tale reaches its cosmic climax in a saga spanning space and time--"The Celestial Madonna!" When Kang the Conqueror arrives, the action begins. Before it's over, Kang, Rama-Tut and Immortus will have you time-twisted in two. And that's just for starters! The origin of the Vision is revealed and he and the Scarlet Witch wed. Then, the Avengers put out a call for new members. Beast, Hellcat and Moondragon join, while Captain America, Yellowjacket and the Wasp return. Each will be tested in a second war with Kang and the Squadron Sinister. It's a classic conflict that teams the Avengers with the Marvel heroes of the Old West!
