Avengers West Coast #74
In "The Pacific Overlords Part V: Operation: Overlords," the Avengers West Coast face off against the megalomaniacal Dr. Demonicus, who’s turned a Pacific island into a self-proclaimed nation. With Hawkeye, USAgent, Spider-Woman, and Sunfire leading the charge—and Living Lightning turning on Demonicus—the team fights to free their captured teammates and dismantle the Pacific Overlords’ regime. Just as they’re about to claim victory, the U.N. unexpectedly recognizes Demonicus’s new nation, forcing the AWC to retreat. On their flight home, the team reevaluates their lineup, setting the stage for change. Written by Roy Thomas and Dann Thomas, with art by Dave Ross and Tim Dzon, and a cover by Tom Morgan.

Dr. Demonicus has captured the Avengers West and raised a new island in the Pacific which he plans on ruling as a new continent. Hawkeye, USAgent, Spider-Woman and Sunfire show up to contest his rule and, with the help of Living Lightning who decides Demonicus is too brutal to work for, they free their teammates and mop up the Pacific Overlords. Just as victory seems imminent, the U.N. declares Demonica a recognized nation and the AWC are unceremoniously kicked off. On their flight back to the states, the team rearranges the roster.
