AVENGERS VOL 1 #198 NEWSSTAND EDITION

Attack of the Red Ronin! The Wasp and Yellowjacket are horrified to discover that the massive automaton destroying New York is none other than deranged scientist Dr. Earl Cowan!

Better Red Than Ronin!

The story starts with a bang as Red Ronin, the 100-foot tall metal monster (designed to battle Godzilla), charges up the Hudson River towards the Bronx! The twisted Dr. Earl Cowan has taken control of Red Ronin…but for what purpose? The Avengers don’t have time for questions, so they launch an all-out attack on the giant robot! Red Ronin repels the Vision, knocks out Wonder Man, and dismisses the Wasp and Yellowjacket! SHIELD and Nick Fury join the fight, but the metal behemoth keeps marching on! In Long Island Sound the Avengers confront Red Ronin one more time! Can Earth’s Mightiest Heroes find the massive robot’s Achilles’ heel? Meanwhile, Ms. Marvel learns that she is pregnant, and shockingly already six months along.
