The West Coast Avengers - Vol 2 - #42 - 1989 - One of Our Androids is Missing! - (FN)

One of the most famous, shocking, and genre-defining milestones in the history of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Issue #42 marks the monumental arrival of legendary creator John Byrne, who takes over the series as writer and artist to launch the historic "Vision Quest" storyline. Discarding the supernatural/occult themes of the previous era, Byrne pivots the book into a cold, clinical, high-stakes political and sci-fi thriller. The issue kicks off with a terrifying, silent mystery that shatters the lives of the Scarlet Witch and the Vision forever.

The issue opens on a deceptively quiet morning at the Avengers Compound. Wanda Maximoff (The Scarlet Witch) wakes up to realize that her husband, The Vision, is completely missing from their bed. More disturbingly, all of the compound's high-tech monitoring systems and internal computer grids have been completely wiped, leaving no digital footprint or record of where he went.
