Pyrrhic Victory!
Recovering from the attack by Terminus, the Avengers head back to the mansion, only to learn that their security status has been revoked pending investigation of the Vision's actions against NORAD. The Avengers are then called out to round up Firelord, only to learn that Spider-Man has taken care of that for them before their arrival. Meanwhile, Captain Marvel leaves Nebula's armada to warn Earth of her approach, but she needs to use Skrull equipment to do so. While the Skrulls try to prevent this, an antimatter missile launched by Nebula to destroy the Skrull armada detonates with results not revealed until the next issue.
