The Wasp and YellowJacket arrive at the Avengers mansion to find a crowd of reporters outside the door and learn that the Avengers are picking new members. Jarvis lets them in the door, where Thor calls the meeting to order. Thor announces that he must take a leave of absence. Thor feels that he is a "big fish in a small pond."
Outside, Sam Reuther is reporting on the history of the Avengers. Loki tried to trap Thor and made it look like the Hulk was on a rampage. Instead he bought Iron Man, Wasp and Ant-Man into the battle. Thor brought Loki to the Avengers where Loki had one last trick which was to turn himself radioactive. Ant-Man foiled Loki by trapping him in a lead lined tank and the Avengers decided to become a team.
Thor appoints Iron Man Interim Chairman. In the meantime we learn the history of the Avengers including short stints by Hulk and Wonder Man. Iron Man, GiantMan and Wasp were joined by Hawkeye, turned down by Sub-Mariner and then joined by the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.
This is a great read because the book covers the history of the Avengers but we will have to wait until issue 151 to find out what the line-up of the new Avengers will be.
GPA records a sale of a 9.2 in October 2008 for $165. There is also a single sale of a 9.0 in July 2008 for $76.
The CGC census has one 9.6, one 9.4, three 9.2s, and one 9.0 among the nine total certified. I believe that CGC boardmember Cheetah has the single 9.6. Of course, the black cover makes this issue very difficult to find in high grade.
