The collection showcases the Vision and Wanda Maximoff's deepening relationship as they navigate life as heroes and spouses, with appearances by fellow Avengers and unexpected threats like Nekra and Black Talon. Written by Bill Mantlo with art by Rick Leonardi and others, this volume captures a pivotal era for the characters before their more famous 1980s series.
In "Switch Witch," Vision seeks to understand his humanity by consulting Captain America and Namor about the original Human Torch, then confronts the Mastermind robot at Project Pegasus—only for the machine to transform and unleash the Toad, who still craves the Scarlet Witch. As Wanda teaches Holly the basics of witchcraft, an unexpected moment reveals Crystal in a private moment with Norm Webster. Written by Steve Englehart and illustrated by Richard Howell, with inks by Frank Springer, colors by Adam Philips, and letters by Bill Oakley, this issue features a cover by Richard Howell.
In "Sons!", the Avengers race to rescue Pym and Simon Williams from the Lethal Legion, uncovering a shocking twist when Simon’s mother reveals the truth about Eric’s embezzlement. As the Legion’s fragile unity strains, Ultron launches a surprise assault on the Quinjet, turning the rescue into a high-stakes battle.
In "No Strings Attached!" from Marvel Masterworks: Vision and the Scarlet Witch #1, a cozy Thanksgiving dinner at Vision and Scarlet Witch’s home takes an unexpected turn when Magneto arrives—prompting tense conversations and emotional revelations between Wanda and her father. As the meal ends, the group must quickly shift from family gathering to full-blown battle when Magneto, Vision, and Quicksilver confront the Toad and his mechanical Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
In "Batteries Not Included!", Vision seeks answers about his humanity by visiting Avengers Mansion and Project Pegasus, only to find himself entangled in a sudden confrontation when the Mastermind robot awakens and releases the Toad, who still harbors a dangerous obsession with the Scarlet Witch. Meanwhile, a chance encounter between Holly and Crystal leads to an unexpected and awkward revelation.
In "A Taxing Time!", the Scarlet Witch navigates the final stretch of her pregnancy with help from Doc Strange, while her life takes a quirky turn when Peter arrives to photograph her and Vision’s apartment for Now magazine. Things get wild when Spider-Man and Vision intercept the Toad, who’s still fixated on winning Wanda’s affection—only to be thoroughly discouraged by her pregnant form and sent packing with a hex bolt to remember.
In "Double Sized Climax!", as Wanda prepares to give birth, the quiet moment is shattered when Wonder Man and Magneto must fend off unexpected intruders—Nekra and the Grim Reaper—amid the tense gathering. The arrival of twins takes everyone by surprise, setting the stage for a moment that will echo through the lives of those present.
In "Marvel Age Annual #1 Upcoming Storylines," assistant editor Kurt Busiek scrambles to gather intel for the next issue, making frantic phone calls to heroes and villains alike—only to be met with dead ends, delays, and escalating chaos. When Captain America storms into the Marvel offices to complain about his hotline being tied up, the situation spirals into a full-blown brawl involving the Porcupine, a parade of Marvel's most unpredictable figures, and a very flustered editorial staff. As the phone lines buzz and the office descends into controlled mayhem, Jim Salicrup quietly dials Virginia Romita, wondering if this issue might just miss its deadline.
