Falcon and Viv run from the mounted Ani-Men on counter-Earth. They both ask why they're being attacked but are quickly incapacitated and captured. On real Earth, the Avengers question their own hostage when Vision phases into it's brain in anger, behavior quickly pointed out by Spider-Man and Wasp as unlike him. The ox-like person continues, telling them that their god has more in store for them. An undetected duplicate planet that exists on different vibrational frequencies. Thor surmises that by using the World Trade Center in the previous issue, Champions #13, to bridge the gap between the 2 dimensions.

| Great news, everyone. Thor has immediately figured out why this is happening. |
Every twenty minutes, the counter earth rotates the real earth, with each time items from both worlds appearing and disappearing onto each. It's the reason why Falcon and Viv disappeared, and why a pack of New Men suddenly appear among the Avengers. Meanwhile, the two now missing teammates are dragged into a temple between captured alien beings. Their nets are removed and the High Evolutionary walks down to inspect them. He finds the Vision's daughter creation quite interesting.

| Creeper Alert! |
Falcon threatens him and he orders the Avenger dragged to the lab. Meanwhile a green glass tube falls over Vivian, dampening her abilities. He tells her he plans to fix Falcon, as well as her. What that exactly entails she'll soon find out.
On Earth, Thor leads her team into battle until Ms. Marvel is able to stop her. These beast people are just as confused as they are. They react with shock, discussing between both groups and telling each they mean no harm. That is, all but one. He tells them their god's plan involves cleansing the other earth. Spider-Man asks for a plan, one which Vision obliges. They split up. Some will work on subduing the ani-men. The others will use Thor's hammer to match the frequency from earlier.
The issue wraps with the High Evolutionary admiring his work. He tells Viv that her operation was a success. Warning her to take time getting used to the upgrade, he orders a mirror to show her the results. She sees her reflection, and with circuitry , panels, and glowing eyes removed, she looks like a completely normal human being. She's shocked... and so are we. But we'll have to wait to see what happens as this issue is left to be continued.

| Gave her some fashionable highlights too. |
You know, the difference an artist can bring to a comic is extraordinary. Mark Waid has completely brought the Avengers in a new and exciting path and guest drawer Javier Pina's pencils do not disappoint. As normal artist Jesus Saiz returns with the next issue, it just makes me that much happier that Mike Del Mundo finally seems to be gone from this book forever. With such a legendary title, it makes sense to incorporate classic villains and the High Evolutionary is just that. With appearances so far this year from Kang, Dr Doom and others, it looks like this one is still on the right track. I give this issue a 9/10.
