Los Vengadores #5
"El Coleccionista de Súper Héroes" sees Van Lunt reassembling the Zodiac criminal syndicate with a chilling new plan, beginning with the recruitment of the imprisoned Joshua Link, aka Géminis, to infiltrate the Avengers' Mansion. After Géminis is exposed for disabling the alarms, the remaining ten Zodiac members breach the mansion by melting through an exterior wall, armed with the Star-Blazer, and swiftly overwhelm the Avengers. They escape with their unconscious ally, leaving behind a haunting message recorded by the Zodiac—declaring their intent to kill every New Yorker born under the sign of Gemini unless the city surrenders to Taurus. Written by Steve Englehart, illustrated by Bob Brown with inks by Don Heck and lettering by Carmelo Taurà, this 1975 issue features a cover by López Espí.
In "El Coleccionista de Súper Héroes," the Avengers return to their mansion after capturing Loki, only to be thrust into a new threat during a Halloween celebration in Rutland. As the mysterious Collector targets the team to add them to his growing collection, the heroes must protect the town while unraveling his dangerous game—before he escapes with his next prize.
In "null," Jo, a former Avenger turned fugitive, is pulled back into the shadows when the Zodiac crime syndicate, reorganized by Van Lunt, recruits him under the alias Géminis to infiltrate the Avengers' Mansion. After a tense breach that leaves the heroes unconscious, the remaining Zodiac members storm in, wielding the Star-Blazer and vanishing with their captured comrade. When Jarvis returns, he finds the Avengers recovering and a chilling message: the Zodiac threatens to kill every New Yorker born under the sign of Géminis unless the city surrenders to Taurus.
