I feeeel like villain portrayed giant looms over heroes is a common type of comic book cover but I don’t believe I’ve seen it in Avengers in a hot minute.
Anyway.
Last time on West Coast Avengers: some dick called Master Pandemonium attacked a woman called Firebird, who crashed down near West Coast Avengers Compound. Then he attacked the Thing while the Thing was hanging out with Wonder Man, which made it a West Coast Avengers problem.
Also, Tigra has been struggling with the disunity between her human and cat souls so went to cat world to talk to the cat king who agreed to help her if she’d do a murder on Master Pandemonium. So its doubly a West Coast Avengers problem but Tigra hasn’t told the others because of that ‘heroes don’t kill’ thing.
But last last time on West Coast Avengers, Firebird got tired of waiting around for her invitation to the West Coast Avengers and inspired by god, decided to reunite her old team, the Rangers.
Except they were all possessed by a demon who was pretending to be Shooting Star. Or rather, the demon claimed that she was always Shooting Star and Shooting Star has never not been a demon. The demon also had a lead on Master Pandemonium and Master P is on the cover so I’d bet the Avengers (West Coast) have convinced Shooting Star the demon to share the deets.
Or maybe Shooting Star completely escaped between issues.
