Avengers (1963) #290 l 160

Jason and John finish off their discussion of the Heavy Metal storyline, which officially ends the Roger Stern era of the title and sets the stage for the disintegration of the team over the next seven months of stories.  It also gives us our first glimpse of the non-Captain America, features the further eroding of Captain Marvel's character and an incredibly anti-climactic ending.  Woo-hoo!  We should sold this issue of comics!
